LCFIPlus: A Framework for Jet Analysis in Linear Collider Studies

Understand

We report on the progress in flavor identification tools developed for a future $e^+e^-$ linear collider such as the International Linear Collider (ILC) and Compact Linear Collider (CLIC).

• Building on the work carried out by the LCFIVertex collaboration, we employ new strategies in vertex finding and jet finding, and introduce new discriminating variables for jet flavor identification.
• We present the performance of the new algorithms in the conditions simulated using a detector concept designed for the ILC.
• The algorithms have been successfully used in ILC physics simulation studies, such as those presented in the ILC Technical Design Report.
