Evaluating Flavor Tagging Systematic Uncertainties in SUSY Long Lived Particle Decays

A method is presented to evaluate systematic uncertainties pertaining to flavor tagging of b-jets originating from long lived particle decays. The method is based on extrapolation of systematic uncertainties derived for prompt b-jets from top quark decays to the non-prompt case using jet variable parameterizations. Using this method, the overall flavor tagging systematic uncertainties for ATLAS events due to hypothetical pair production of stop quarks decaying into a b-quark and hadronically decaying lightest neutralino in the R-parity violation scenario are evaluated.
