Description
Heavy flavor hadrons, i.e. those containing charm and bottom quarks, will be abundantly produced at the LHC and are important probes of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Using heavy flavor jets we will have a pure sample of quark jets with which to study the color-charge effects on energy loss. In addition, studies of bottom production in p+p collision at LHC energies will be utilized to further constrain the current parameters used by NLO and FONLL calculations. The talk will focus on the very high-pt electron particle identification using the EMCal detector.
