We set an upper limit on the signal yield extracted by the fit to the dilepton mass
|
| 5 |
distribution, assuming the LM1 shape. The 95\% confidence level (CL) upper limit (UL)
|
| 6 |
is extracted using a profile likelihood technique, giving an UL of 14.3 events, including
|
| 7 |
uncertainties in the background yield and shape, resolution model and $Z$ yield.
|
| 8 |
In the limit setting we also include the uncertainties from trigger efficiency,
|
| 9 |
lepton selection efficiency, hadronic energy scale and integrated luminosity on the signal efficiency.
|
| 10 |
The expected LM1 yield is 23 $\pm$ 3 events.
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
We set upper limits on the non-SM contributions to the high \MET\ and high \Ht\ signal regions.
|
| 13 |
For both regions, we find reasonable agreement between the observed yields and the predictions from MC and from the 2
|
| 14 |
data-driven methods. We choose here to extract the upper limits using the MC prediction for the
|
| 15 |
background estimate. The 95\% CL upper limit is extracted using a Bayesian technique~\cite{ref:cl95cms},
|
| 16 |
with a log-normal model of nuissance parameter integration assuming 0 signal . The results are summarized in
|
| 17 |
Table~\ref{tab:results}. Based on these results, we exclude LM1 and LM3.

Summary of the observed and predicted yields in the 2 signal regions. The error in the MC prediction is statistical only.
|
| 23 |
The systematic uncertainties on the ABCD', \ptll, and OF subtraction predictions are discussed in the text. The non-SM yield UL is a
|
| 24 |
Bayesian 95\% confidence level upper limit. The LM1 and LM3 yields include uncertainties from trigger efficiency,
|
| 25 |
lepton selection efficiency, hadronic energy scale and integrated luminosity.
