Qualification Task for Yifan Yang

yangy (Hefei) will work on the implementation and the comparison of alternative secondary vertex algorithms in flavour tagging.
Such algorithms include alternative version of the inclusive secondary vertex finder, multi vertex algorithms and new algorithms from the vertexing group.
In first instance Yifan will work together with the software group to make those algorithms available in the flavour tagging reconstruction chain; this will also allow for their reconstructed feature to be available for multivariate taggers.
Subsequently performance of the various algorithms in terms of reconstruction efficiency, purity of the vertices will be performed.
The progress will be reported in the Flavour Tagging software and algorithms meetings and the corresponding software will be made available in GitLab.
