Two kind of background are affected this analysis: background having |
| 4 |
+ |
already a $Z$ boson in the final state such as $Z+jets$ and |
| 5 |
+ |
$Z+b\bar{b}$, background without a $Z$ boson such as $W+jets$ and |
| 6 |
+ |
$t\bar{t}$. The first one will be peaking as the signal in the $Z$ |
| 7 |
+ |
mass distribution while the second should be flat.As a starting point, |
| 8 |
+ |
we will use this properties to separate the two background. |
| 9 |
+ |
|

+ |
\subsection{Study of non peaking background} |
| 11 |
+ |
In order to measure this background, a fit of the signal and |
| 12 |
+ |
background is done. In order to fit the signal peak we use a Gaussian |
| 13 |
+ |
convulated with a Breit-Wigner. The background is fitted by a line. |
| 14 |
+ |
An example of the fit of the distribution composed by the sum of |
| 15 |
+ |
signal and background for the 3 electrons final state is shown on |
| 16 |
+ |
figure~\ref{fig:ZFit}. |

obtain by the fit for a $Z$ mass range [81,101] GeV is given in |

The probability to misidentify a jet as a muon is very low while for |
| 52 |
|
the case of the electron, $\pi^0$ in jets can be misidentified as |
| 53 |
|
electrons. When considering the subtraction of the background in this |
| 54 |
|
analysis, we will mainly concentrate on the final state where the $W$ |
| 55 |
< |
is decaying to an electron. For the muon case, the subtraction can be |
| 56 |
< |
done using Monte Carlo sample and assigning a large error on this |
| 9 |
< |
estimation. |
| 55 |

is decaying to an electron. The same studies is still on going for the |
| 56 |

muon case. |

The main background remaining even after having applied all our selection |
| 60 |
|
in the case of the $W$ decaying to electron is the $Z+jets$ |
| 61 |
|
production. As signal and background have a \Z boson in the final |
| 82 |
|
solving this set of equations we obtain: |
| 83 |
|
$$ |
| 84 |
|
N_e = \frac{N_{tight}-p_{fake} N_{loose}} { \epsilon_{tight} -p_{fake}} \ \ \ \mbox{and} \ \ \ |
| 85 |
< |
N_{j} = \frac{ \epsilon_{track} N_{loose} - N_e}{ \epsilon_{tight} -p_{fake}} |
| 85 |
> |
N_{j} = \frac{ \epsilon_{tight} N_{loose} - N_e}{ \epsilon_{tight} -p_{fake}} |
| 86 |
|
$$ |
| 87 |
|
|
| 88 |
|
The estimation of $\epsilon_{tight}$ and $p_{fake}$ can be done using control |
| 91 |
|
will be derived from $Z \to e^+e^-$ samples. In the following section we |
| 92 |
|
describe the method used to determine $p_{fake}$. |

As the events will be most of the time triggered by the leptons coming |
| 97 |
|
from \Z boson, we assume that the third lepton is unbiased toward |
| 102 |
|
requirements on the loose electron candidate. |
| 103 |
|
%Such sample will not |
| 104 |
|
%exist in data as they will be bias by the trigger requirement. |

From a sample of multi-jet events triggered by an ``OR'' of multi-jet |
| 115 |
|
triggers, we will select loose electron candidates that are not |
| 127 |
|
population. This ratio, given as a function of $Pt$ and $\eta$, is |
| 128 |
|
showed in plots \ref{fig:qcd_zjet_est}. |
