BDT Particle Identification
Boosted Decision Trees (BDTs) are powerful multivariate classifiers used in particle physics to distinguish between different particle types based on detector signatures. By combining many weak decision trees through adaptive boosting, BDTs achieve superior discrimination power compared to simple cuts, enabling improved purity and efficiency in particle identification and background rejection.
