We proceed to set upper limits on the non-SM contributions to the 2 signal regions. For both regions,
|
| 5 |
|
|
we find reasonable agreement between the observed yields and the predictions from MC and from the 2
|
| 6 |
|
|
data-driven methods. We choose here to extract the upper limits using the MC prediction for the
|
| 7 |
|
|
background estimate. The 95\% CL upper limit is extracted using a Bayesian technique~\cite{ref:cl95cms},
|
| 8 |
|
|
using a log-normal model of nuissance parameter integration. The results are summarized in
|
| 9 |
|
|
Table~\ref{tab:results}. Based on these results, we exclude LM1 but not LM3.
