Quark-gluon discrimination with point clouds
Date:
Quark-gluon tagging refers to the task of identifying the origin of a jet as produced from the hadronization of a gluon or a quark. Common methods rely on jet constituent properties to disentangle the two objects to varying degrees of success. In this talk an innovative method of classifying jets according to its constituents is introduced. The method uses the information of the constituents to build a graph-based neural network aided by attention mechanisms.
