Inclusive Flavour Tagging at LHCb

A new algorithm based on a deep neural network, DeepSets, for tagging the production flavour of neutral $B^0$ and $B_s^0$ mesons in proton-proton collisions is presented. Exploiting a comprehensive set of tracks associated with the hadronization process, the algorithm is calibrated on data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of $13$ TeV. This inclusive approach enhances the flavour tagging performance beyond the established same-side and opposite-side tagging methods. The observed gains in tagging power of $35\mathrm{\%}$ for $B^0$ mesons and $20\mathrm{\%}$ for $B_s^0$ mesons relative to the combined performance of the existing LHCb flavour-tagging algorithms offer significant benefits for precision measurements of $C\text{\hspace{0.17em}⁣}P$ violation and mixing in the neutral $B$ meson systems.
