Fig. 2: \(b\)-tagging performance of GN2 and DL1d evaluated in MC simulations.

The c-jet (solid), light-jet (dotted-dashed), and τ-jet (dashed) rejections as a function of the b-jet tagging efficiency for a jets in the \(t\bar{t}\) sample with 20 < pT < 250 GeV and b jets in the \({Z}^{{\prime} }\) sample with 250 < pt < 6000 GeV, for both GN2 (light blue) and DL1d (dark orange). The performance of GN2 with respect to DL1d is shown in the bottom panels. The 68% confidence intervals calculated assuming no correlations between the rejections are indicated by the shaded regions, and the uncertainty on each rejection is obtained according to a binomial distribution.
