\section{Event reconstruction}
\label{sec:eventReconstruction}

We categorize \WZ\ three-lepton final state as following
\begin{itemize}
\item $3e$: for \WZ events with $\W \to e \nu$ and $\Z\to \epem$.
\item $2e1\mu$: for \WZ events with $\W \to \mu \nu$ and $\Z\to \epem$.
\item $2\mu 1e$: for \WZ events with $\W \to e \nu$ and $\Z\to \mumu$.
\item $3\mu$: for \WZ events with $\W \to \mu \nu$ and $\Z\to \mumu$.
\end{itemize}


\subsection{Trigger selection and efficiencies}

Events stemming from the three-lepton final states of $\WZ$ production
are collected by the electron and/or muon triggers. For each channel,
a minimun number of HLT requirements is chosen while keeping 
the HLT efficiency for selected events close to 100\%. The same 
HLT requirements are used for channels with the same \Z decay mode:
\begin{itemize}
\item for $3e$ and $2e1\mu$: HLTSingleElectron or HLTDoubleElectronRelaxed
\item for $2\mu1e$ and $3\mu$: HLTSingleMuonIso
\end{itemize}
The HLT efficiencies for all modes for events passing the full 
selection described in this section are given in table~\ref{tab:hlteff}.

\subsection{Lepton identification}
\label{sec:leptonId}

The requirements used for electron identification in this analysis are described
in~\cite{noteElectronID}.

Muon candidates are selected from global muons, which are reconstructed
by combining measurements in the muon chambers and the central tracker.
An additional isolation criterion is imposed to require the energy
measured in the calorimeters within a $\Delta R = 0.3$ cone around the
muon to be smaller than 3 GeV and the sum of the $p_T$ of tracks
within a $\Delta R = 0.25$ cone around the muon must be smaller than 2 GeV.
These cuts reduce the background from muons originated in
\b-quark decays of the $\Zbbbar$ background, which are close to tracks
and clusters from the other \b-quark decay products.
The signal and background distributions of these isolation variables 
are shown in Figure~\ref{fig:mu_isol} for the muon in $2e1\mu$ candidate 
events.

%Figures~\ref{fig:muonisol} and ~\ref{fig:muonisoleffi} show the
%performance of the isolation cut. The distribution of the isolation
%variables for the $\Z\b\bbar(\epem\b\bbar)$ is particularly
%interesting, since muons only stem from  \b-quark decays.

The significance of the muon impact parameter in the plane
transverse to the beam, $S_{IP}$, discriminates against leptons from
heavy-quark decays in all standard model background processes. This
variable is defined as the ratio between the measured impact parameter
and its uncertainty: $S_{IP}=IP/\sigma_{IP}$, and is required to
satisfy $S_{IP}<3$. This requirement is applied only for muon candidates
and not for electrons. For electron candidates, a significant fraction of the
background comes from misidentified light quark jets. Thus,
the requirement on the impact parameter significance does not 
increase the significance of the $\W\to e$ channels, as can be seen in 
Fig.~\ref{fig:wl_IP_SvsCut}. The distribution of $S_{IP}$ for the muon 
in $2e1\mu$ candidate events is shown in Figure~\ref{fig:mu_SIP}.

The muons fullfilling all these requirements will be called ``tight'', while global
muons without requirements on isolation or impact parameter significance are called ``loose''.

\subsection{\WZ candidate selection}

Events are accepted if they contain at least three charged leptons,
either electrons or muons, with $p_T > 15\,\mathrm{GeV}$ and $| \eta | < 2.5$ for
electrons,$| \eta | < 2.4$ for muons, as discussed in Section~\ref{sec:leptonId}.

The \WZ candidate selection proceeds from building all possible
\Z-boson candidates from same-flavour opposite-charge lepton pairs.
For $\Z \to ee$ decays, electron candidates have to fulfill the loose requirements
defined in~\cite{noteElectronID}.

Events are retained if the mass of the \Z boson candidate is 
within 20 GeV of the \Z boson mass, $m_Z$. The event is
rejected if a second \Z candidate is found. This second \Z boson candidate is formed 
using all possible same-flavour opposite-charge combinations which are left 
after removing the two leptons already used for the first \Z boson candidate. This 
secondary \Z boson veto helps to suppress $\Z\Z$ events. 
%The invariant 
%mass distribution for accepted \Z candidates is shown in
%Figure~\ref{fig:zcandidates}.

% and the \Z mass resolution is shown in
%Figure~\ref{fig:dzmass}.

After the \Z boson candidate is identified, the remaining leptons in the event
are required, for electrons, to pass the tight criteria described in~\cite{noteElectronID}
or, for muons, all criteria described in section~\ref{sec:leptonId}.
If more than one lepton candidate satisfies the tight requirements, the one with the
highest $p_T$ is associated with \W boson decay. This lepton's $p_T$ is effective
discriminant against \Zbbbar and \Zjets production (see Fig.~\ref{fig:wlpt_cuteff}).
We require the transverse momentum to exceed 20 GeV, as it maximizes
the significance of the \WZ\ signal with respect to background as shown in 
Fig.~\ref{fig:wlpt_cutS}.

An additional requirement on the isolation between electron and muon candidates is applied
for the $2\mu 1e$ channel, by demanding the value of $\Delta R$ between the electron 
candidate associated with the \W boson decay and any of the two muons associated with 
the \Z boson decay to be greater than 0.1.
 
This requirement allows suppressing the contribution of $\Z \to \mu\mu$
decays, where one of the two muons radiates a photon which is reconstructed
as an electron, possibly after conversion.
% ADD THE PLOT TO JUSTIFY THIS COMMENT
% This can be seen as a peak in the dimuon
%invariant mass at  around 60 GeV in Fig.~\ref{fig:Z2mu1e_60GeVPeak}.

The summary of the selection criteria is given in Table~\ref{tab:allcuts}.

The expected number of the events satisfying the sequential steps of the selection
is listed in Tables~\ref{tab:sel-effA} and~\ref{tab:sel-effB}.
In Table~\ref{tab:wz-effimatrix} we list the total selection efficiency for  different
\W and \Z boson decay modes. It can be seen lepton candidates from \W and \Z
boson decays are almost always are reconstructed with the correct flavor. As expected,
there is a small contribution from $\W \to \tau \nu_\tau \to \ell \nu_\ell \nu_\tau$
decays. However, this contribution is suppressed, mostly due to $p_T$ requirement
on the third lepton, as leptons from $\tau$ decays are not as energetic as those from
$\W \to \ell \nu$ processes.

In Tables~\ref{tab:wz-matcheffi-Zee} and \ref{tab:wz-matcheffi-Zmumu} we
display the fraction of reconstructed \WZ events with correctly-matched leptons.
It can be seen that the lepton associated with the \W boson decay is correctly matched 
to the true Monte Carlo lepton from the \W boson decay in more than 90\% of 
the cases, even for events with several lepton candidates available to be associated 
to the \W boson decay. The choice to take the lepton candidate with the leading $p_T$ is,
therefore, justified.

\subsection{Complementary studies: can we use the neutrino?}

In $\WZ \to  \ell^{\pm}\nu \ellell (\ell=e,\mu)$ events, the neutrino
coming from the \W-boson decay leaves the detector with a significant
amount of energy, which should reflect in a large transverse missing
energy measurement. On the other side, no large MET is expected for 
the  most  important background categories, especially \Zjets,
\Zbbbar, \ZZ and \Zgamma. This expectation is confirmed, as can be 
seen in Figure~\ref{fig:met}.

\begin{figure}[bt]
  \begin{center}
  \scalebox{0.8}{\includegraphics{figs/met_by_channel.eps}}
  \caption{Missing transverse energy for the four signal categories. 
    The distributions  show the number of expected events 
    for $1 fb^{-1}$. Only events with 81 GeV $< M_Z < $ 101 \gev 
    are shown. All selection cuts are applied.}
  \label{fig:met}
  \end{center}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[bt]
  \begin{center}
  \scalebox{0.8}{\includegraphics{figs/mtw_by_channel.eps}}
  \caption{\W transverse mass for the four signal categories. 
    The distributions  show the number of expected events 
    for $1 fb^{-1}$. Only events with 81 GeV $< M_Z < $ 101 GeV are shown.
    All selection cuts are applied.}
  \label{fig:mtw}
  \end{center}
\end{figure}


Another variable sensitive to the presence of the neutrino 
is the W transverse mass $m_T^W$, obtained by combining the missing 
energy vector and the lepton associated to the \W-boson decay.
The distribution of $m_T^W$ is shown in Figure~\ref{fig:mtw}.
The signal yield could be extracted from that distribution.
This requires however additional studies and it has not been
done at this stage.
