Abstract:
A likelihood discriminator capable of distinguishing between jets originating from quarks and from gluons is presented.The separation is made available for all jets with transverse momentum greater than 30~GeV, up to pseudorapidities of |η|=4.7. The discrimination is based on observables sensitive to fundamental differences in the fragmentation properties of gluons and quarks. The performance of the tagger is evaluated using Z+jets and dijet events produced in pp collisions at √s=8 \TeV.
