Assessing the impact of parton masses in the fragmentation of high-energy particles has been a longstanding goal of experimental and theoretical communities in QCD. One of the most prominent characteristics of a massive splitting is the suppression of collinear branchings, the dead-cone effect.
IBM has teamed with organizations around the world to create a quantum computing working group for high-energy physics research.
In this two-parts article I wish to describe in some detail, but still at an elementary level, the characteristics of one of the most important probes of the physics of subnuclear collisions at today's particle physics experiments: jets of hadrons originated from energetic bottom quarks, or more familiarly, b-jets.
