Our analysis strategy is as follows. In order to select dilepton events, we |
| 40 |
|
use high \pt\ dilepton triggers and a preselection based |

|
above, we proceed to define 2 signal regions |
| 51 |
|
with requirements on these quantities to select about 0.1\% |
| 52 |
|
of dilepton $t\bar{t}$ events, as predicted by MC. |

We perform counting experiements in these signal regions, and compare the observed yields |

independent background estimation techniques based on data control samples, |
