| contents | Jet flavour tagging is crucial in experimental high-energy physics. A tagging algorithm, DeepJetTransformer, is presented, which exploits a transformer-based neural network that is substantially faster to train than state-of-the-art graph neural networks.
The DeepJetTransformer algorithm uses information from particle flow-style objects and secondary vertex reconstruction for $b$- and $c$-jet identification, supplemented by additional information that is not always included in tagging algorithms at the LHC, such as reconstructed $K_{S}^{0}$ and $Λ^{0}$ and $K^{\pm}/π^{\pm}$ discrimination. The model is trained as a multiclassifier to identify all quark flavours separately and performs excellently in identifying $b$- and $c$-jets. An $s$-tagging efficiency of $40\%$ can be achieved with a $10\%$ $ud$-jet background efficiency. The performance improvement achieved by including $K_{S}^{0}$ and $Λ^{0}$ reconstruction and $K^{\pm}/π^{\pm}$ discrimination is presented.
The algorithm is applied on exclusive $Z \to q\bar{q}$ samples to examine the physics potential and is shown to isolate $Z \to s\bar{s}$ events. Assuming all non-$Z \to q\bar{q}$ backgrounds can be efficiently rejected, a $5σ$ discovery significance for $Z \to s\bar{s}$ can be achieved with an integrated luminosity of $60~\text{nb}^{-1}$ of $e^{+}e^{-}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=91.2~\mathrm{GeV}$, corresponding to less than a second of the FCC-ee run plan at the $Z$ boson resonance. |
