Carlo simulations can be minimized by using real events as the background |

training sample. As the QCD di--jet production rate is many orders of magnitude |

larger than that of tau leptons, it is relatively straightforward to obtain a |

The relatively long lifetime of the tau lepton ($c\tau = 87\mu$m) permits the |

possibility that using displaced decay vertex information could provide |
| 16 |

discrimination power against quark and gluon jets, which are expected to be |

produced at the primary vertex. A feasibility study is planned to determine if |

adding vertex related observables to the neural networks could improve the |

performance of the TaNC. |
