C1 and CR2 are designed to test the $M_T$ tail in $W +$ jets and |
| 5 |
|
\ttbar\ respectively. Note that, as explained in Section~\ref{sec:ljbg-general}, |
| 6 |
|
these tails are different in the two samples because the off-shell effects |
| 7 |
< |
are much more pronounced for $W +$ jets. (The s- and t-channel single |
| 8 |
< |
top has the same $M_T$ tail as \ttbar\ ). To put things in perspective, |

keep in mind that these |

backgrounds are only about 15\% of the total, see Table~\ref{tab:srrawmcyields}. |

CR4 and CR5 address the dominant \ttbar\ dilepton background. |

In CR4 we test the $M_T$ tail in well identified dilepton events. |

In CR5 we test quantity, but in events where the second lepton is identified |
| 15 |

as an isolated track. Clearly CR4 and CR5 overlap. |
