CMS b-tagging & Vertexing POGlink
Introductionlink
This group is responsible for all aspects of b tagging, including algorithm development, performance measurements with data, HLT, and the corresponding online and offline DQM tasks. It is also responsible for vertex fitting and secondary vertex finding. It shares responsibility for offline primary vertex finding with the Tracking POG. Beam-spot determination, V0 reconstruction, and online primary vertex finding are pure TrackingPOG responsibilities.
