\subsection{Corrections to Jets and \met} |
| 37 |
|
|
| 38 |
|
The official recommendations from the Jet/MET group are used for |
| 43 |
|
data (MC). In addition, these jet energy corrections are propagated to |
| 44 |
|
the \met\ calculation, following the official prescription for |
| 45 |
|
deriving the Type I corrections. It may be noted that events with |
| 46 |
< |
anomalous corrections are excluded from the sample since these |
| 46 |
> |
anomalous ``rho'' pile-up corrections are excluded from the sample since these |
| 47 |
|
correspond to events with unphysically large \met\ and \mt\ tail |

< |
signal region. An additional correction to remove |
| 48 |
> |
signal region (see Figure~\ref{fig:mtrhocomp}). An additional correction to remove |
| 49 |
|
the $\phi$-modulation observed in the \met\ is included, improving |
| 50 |
|
the agreement between the data and the MC, as shown in |
| 51 |
< |
Figure.~\ref{fig:metphicomp}. This correction has an effect on this analysis, |
| 51 |

Figure~\ref{fig:metphicomp}. This correction has an effect on this analysis, |
| 52 |
|
since the azimuthal angle enters the \mt\ distribution. |
