The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB accelerator observes pairs of B mesons. As the center of mass energy is known, the kinematics of one B meson (the signal B) are determined if the other B meson (the tag B) is fully reconstructed.
The tag B meson can be reconstructed in different channels and using different techniques. This analysis considers hadronic B decays reconstructed with the FEI (Full Event Interpretation), an algorithm relying heavily on machine learning techniques.
Because imperfections in the MC simulation may result in a different tag B reconstruction efficiency than in real data, the FEI must be calibrated. By considering a well known decay mode on the signal side (here inclusive B —→ X ℓ ν), calibration weights can be calculated.
The calibration is performed for the full Belle dataset of 710 fb−1, which has been converted in order to be analyzed with the Belle II software framework. The results of the calibration will be first used for an update of Belle results for B —→ D(*) ℓ νℓ decays that profit from the improved Belle II reconstruction software.
