A simultaneous measurement of the b-tagging efficiency scale factor and the top-antitop production cross section at the Collider Detector at Fermilab

The ability to compare results between Monte Carlo and data is imperative in modern experimental high-energy physics analyses. The b-tagging efficiency Scale Factor (SF) allows for an accurate comparison of b quark identification in data samples and Monte Carlo. This thesis presents a simultaneous m...
