  We describe a new hit-based $b$-tagging technique for high energy jets and
study its performance with a Geant4-based simulation. The technique uses the
fact that at sufficiently high energy a B meson or baryon can live long enough
to traverse the inner layers of pixel detectors such as those in the ATLAS,
ALICE, or CMS experiments prior to decay. By first defining a "jet" via the
calorimeter, and then counting hits within that jet between pixel layers at
increasing radii, we show it is possible to identify jets that contain
$b$-quarks by detecting a jump in the number of hits. We show that the
technique maintains its efficiency at energies beyond the range of conventional
$b$-taggers.
