Please Clarify Particle Origin[edit]
Below is a quote from the "Methods" section. Is it now possible to identify particles which originate from a different place WHERE the bottom quark was formed?... or from a different place OTHER THAN where the bottom quark was formed? I lack the expertise to clarify this paragraph. The beam-beam collision point example does not clarify as the reader still does not know where the bottom quark was formed. It might help to clarify where the detectors are relative to the beam-beam collision point, and then clarify exactly where the bottom quark in question is formed. Thx.
..."The advent of precision silicon detectors within particle detectors has made it possible to identify particles that originate from a different place where the bottom quark was formed (e.g. the beam–beam collision point in a particle accelerator), and thus indicating the likely presence of a b-jet."... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.125.81.80 (talk) 20:04, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
b-tagging at B-factories[edit]
b-tagging is not only used at the LHC experiments, but also at the B-factories. Although there are no b-jets present there, still one B meson is a tag-B and the other one is the signal-B in many analyses. I think this article should be expanded to also cover this topic. If it's OK, I would be happy to do that. --Chrishan25 (talk) 22:27, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
