Abstract

I present a new scheme for tagging boosted heavy flavor jets called "$\mu_x$ tagging" and its application to TeV-scale physics beyond the Standard Model. Using muons from B hadron decay to define a particular combination "x" of angular information, and jet substructure variables, we identify a clean ($\epsilon_fake/\epsilon_b1/100$) good efficiency ($\epsilon_b = 14\%$) tag. I demonstrate the usefulness of this new scheme by showing the reach for discovery of leptophobic $Z^\primebb$ and $tH^\pmt t b$.
