\subsubsection{The ${\rm Z \to \bbbar}$ partial width}
An electroweak correction of great interest is the vertex correction to the ${\rm Z} \to \bbbar$ partial width. This correction affects the total Z width $\Gamma_{\rm Z}$, the leptonic branching fraction $R_\ell$, the peak hadronic cross section $\sigma^{\rm peak}_{\rm had}$, and most sensitively, $R_{\rm b} \equiv \Gamma_{\rm Z \to \bbbar}/\Gamma_{\rm had}$.
$R_b$ was measured at At LEP and
SLC SLC, $R_{\rm b}$ was measured by tagging
$b\bar{b}$ by the presence of one
tagged $b$-jet b-quark jet, and the efficiency was controlled by
double tag. the ``double tag'' method. The present experimental
value is $R_b value, $R_{\rm b} = 0.21629 \pm
0.00066$ with 0.00066$, has a roughly equal sharing between systematic and statistical
errors. The uncertainties.
Because the double
$b$ tagging b-tagging method is self-calibrating,
and indeed most of the systematics are based on experimental tests related its accuracy is expected to
the modeling of events, and should decrease improve with accumulated statistics. The SLD detector at SLC
was had the
most efficient best efficiency for this selection, by the
double twofold effect of
having a more
precise detector, granular vertex detector and
the a smaller beam
spot being smaller, thus allowing spot, which allowed a more precise determination of the impact parameter of secondary hadrons.
We expect While the experimental conditions at TLEP
are expected to be similar
to LEP with the exception that as those at LEP, the beam
spot size
at the IP is will be very significantly smaller in all
dimensions, ensuring that the $b$-tagging abilities dimensions than at SLC, and a next-generation vertex detector will be used. The b-tagging capabilities should
therefore be
rather similar to
those of SLD or better than
to those of
LEP. \\ SLD.\\
{\em A precision of
$2-510^{-5}$ $2$ to $5 \times 10^{-5}$ seems
therefore to be a reasonable goal for the measurement of on
$R_b$ $R_{\rm b}$ at
TLEP} TLEP.}
