+%\section{Systematics Uncertainties on the Background Prediction}
+%\label{sec:systematics}
-<
+\subsection{Uncertainty on the \ttll\ Acceptance}
->
+In this Section we discuss the systematic uncertainty on the BG
->
+prediction.  This prediction is assembled from the event
->
+counts in the peak region of the transverse mass distribution as
->
+well as Monte Carlo
->
+with a number of correction factors, as described previously.
->
+The
->
+final uncertainty on the prediction is built up from the uncertainties in these
->
+individual
->
+components.
->
+The calculation is done for each signal
->
+region,
->
+for electrons and muons separately.
-+
+The choice to normalize to the peak region of $M_T$ has the
-+
+advantage that some uncertainties, e.g., luminosity, cancel.
-+
+It does however introduce complications because it couples
-+
+some of the uncertainties in non-trivial ways.  For example,
-+
+the primary effect of an uncertainty on the rare MC cross-section
-+
+is to introduce an uncertainty in the rare MC background estimate
-+
+which comes entirely from MC.   But this uncertainty also affects,
-+
+for example,
-+
+the $t\bar{t} \to$ dilepton BG estimate because it changes the
-+
+$t\bar{t}$ normalization to the peak region (because some of the
-+
+events in the peak region are from rare processes).  These effects
-+
+are carefully accounted for. The contribution to the overall
-+
+uncertainty from each background source is tabulated in
-+
+Section~\ref{sec:bgunc-bottomline}.
-+
+Here we discuss the uncertainties one-by-one and comment
-+
+on their impact on the overall result, at least to first order.
-+
+Second order effects, such as the one described, are also included.
-+
-+
+\subsection{Statistical uncertainties on the event counts in the $M_T$
-+
+peak regions}
-+
+These vary between 2\% and 20\%, depending on the signal region
-+
+(different
-+
+signal regions have different \met\ requirements, thus they also have
-+
+different $M_T$ regions used as control).
-+
+Since
-+
+the major backgrounds, eg, $t\bar{t}$ are normalized to the peak regions, this
-+
+fractional uncertainty is pretty much carried through all the way to
-+
+the end.  There is also an uncertainty from the finite MC event counts
-+
+in the $M_T$ peak regions.  This is also included, but it is smaller.
-+
-+
+Normalizing to the $M_T$ peak has the distinct advantages that
-+
+uncertainties on luminosity, cross-sections, trigger efficiency,
-+
+lepton ID, cancel out.
-+
+For the low statistics regions with high \met\ requirements, the
-+
+price to pay in terms of event count is that statistical uncertainties start
-+
+to become significant.  In the future we may consider a different
-+
+normalization startegy in the low statistics regions.
-+
-+
+\subsection{Uncertainty from the choice of $M_T$ peak region}
-+
-+
+This choice affects the scale factors of Table~\ref{tab:mtpeaksf}.
-+
+If the $M_T$ peak region is not well modelled, this would introduce an
-+
+uncertainty.
-+
-+
+We have tested this possibility by recalculating the post-veto scale factors for a different
-+
+choice
-+
+of $M_T$ peak region ($40 < M_T < 100$ GeV instead of the default
-+
+$50 < M_T < 80$ GeV).  This is shown in Table~\ref{tab:mtpeaksf2}.
-+
+The two results for the scale factors are very compatible.
-+
+We do not take any systematic uncertainty for this possible effect.

-+
-+
+\subsection{Uncertainty on the \wjets\ cross-section and the rare MC cross-sections}
-+
+These are taken as 50\%, uncorrelated.
-+
+The primary effect is to introduce a 50\%
-+
+uncertainty
-+
+on the $W +$ jets and rare BG
-+
+background predictions, respectively.  However they also
-+
+have an effect on the other BGs via the $M_T$ peak normalization
-+
+in a way that tends to reduce the uncertainty.  This is easy
-+
+to understand: if the $W$ cross-section is increased by 50\%, then
-+
+the $W$ background goes up.  But the number of $M_T$ peak events
-+
+attributed to $t\bar{t}$ goes down, and since the $t\bar{t}$ BG is
-+
+scaled to the number of $t\bar{t}$ events in the peak, the $t\bar{t}$
-+
+BG goes down.
-+
-+
+\subsection{Tail-to-peak ratios for lepton +
-+
+  jets top and W events}
-+
+The tail-to-peak ratios $R_{top}$ and $R_{wjet}$ are described in Section~\ref{sec:ttp}.
-+
+The data/MC scale factors are studied in CR1 and CR2 (Sections~\ref{sec:cr1} and~\ref{sec:cr2}).
-+
+Only the scale factor for \wjets, $SFR_{wjet}$, is used, and its uncertainty is given in Table~\ref{tab:cr1yields}). This uncertainty affects both $R_{wjet}$ and $R_{top}$.
-+
+The additional systematic uncertainty on $R_{top}$ from the variation between optimistic and pessimistic scenarios is given in Section~\ref{sec:ttp}.
-+
-+
-+
+\subsection{Uncertainty on extra jet radiation for dilepton
-+
+  background}
-+
+As discussed in Section~\ref{sec:jetmultiplicity}, the
-+
+jet distribution in
-+
+$t\bar{t} \to$
-+
+dilepton MC is rescaled by the factors $K_3$ and $K_4$ to make
-+
+it agree with the data.  The 3\% uncertainties on $K_3$ and $K_4$
-+
+comes from data/MC statistics.  This
-+
+results directly in a 3\% uncertainty on the dilepton background, which is by far
-+
+the most important one.
-+
-+
+\subsection{Uncertainty from MC statistics}
-+
+This affects mostly the \ttll\ background estimate, which is taken
-+
+from
-+
+Monte Carlo with appropriate correction factors.  This uncertainty
-+
+is negligible in the low \met\ signal regions, and grows to about
-+
+\% in SRG.
-+
-+
-+

->

+covers the uncertainty associated with

+by comparing the background predictions obtained using

+including the derivation of the various data-to-MC scale factors.
+\begin{itemize}

-+
-+
+\begin{itemize}
-+
+\item In the tighter signal regions we are running out of

+\item Within the limited statistics, there is no evidence that the

+Powheg sample.  As we argued previously, this is a very powerful
-+
+test of the background calculation.
-+
+The results of this test are summarized in Table~\ref{tab:hugecr5yields}.
-+
+Concentrating on the relatively high statistics CR5A region, we see
-+
+for all \ttbar\ MC samples except scale up/scale down we obtain
-+
+closure within 1$\sigma$.  The scale up/scale down tests closes
-+
+worse, only within 2$\sigma$.  This again is evidence that the
-+
+scale up/scale down variations are in disagreement with the data.
-+
-+
+\input{hugeCR5Table.tex}
-+
-+
+Based on the two observations above, we argue that the MC
-+
+scale up/scale down variations are too extreme.  We feel that
-+
+a reasonable choice would be to take one-half of the scale up/scale
-+
+down variations in our MC.  This factor of 1/2 would then bring
-+
+the discrepancy in the closure test of
-+
+Table~\ref{tab:hugecr5yields} for the scale up/scale down variations
-+
+from about 2$\sigma$ to about 1$\sigma$.
-+
-+
+Then, going back to Table~\ref{tab:fracdiff}, and reducing the scale
-+
+up/scale
-+
+down variations by a factor 2, we can see that a systematic
-+
+uncertainty
-+
+of 5\% covers the range of reasonable variations from different MC
-+
+models in SRA and SRB.
-+
+%The alternative MC models indicate that a 6\% systematic uncertainty
-+
+%covers the range of reasonable variations.
-+
+Note that this 5\% is also consistent with the level at which we are
-+
+able to test the closure of the method with alternative samples in CR5 for the high statistics
-+
+regions (Table~\ref{tab:hugecr5yields}).
-+
+The range of reasonable variations obtained with the alternative
-+
+samples are consistent with the uncertainties assigned for
-+
+the \ttll\ background based on the closure of the background
-+
+predictions and data in CR4 and CR5.

+\subsubsection{Isolated Track Veto: Tag and Probe Studies}
-+
+\label{sec:trkveto}
-+
-+
-+
+In this section we compare the performance of the isolated track veto in data and MC using tag-and-probe studies
-+
+with samples of Z$\to$ee and Z$\to\mu\mu$. The purpose of these studies is to demonstrate that the efficiency
-+
+to satisfy the isolated track veto requirements is well-reproduced in the MC, since if this were not the case
-+
+we would need to apply a data-to-MC scale factor in order to correctly
-+
+predict the \ttll\ background.
-+
-+
+This study
-+
+addresses possible data vs. MC discrepancies for the {\bf efficiency} to identify (and reject) events with a
-+
+second {\bf genuine} lepton (e, $\mu$, or $\tau\to$1-prong). It does not address possible data vs. MC discrepancies
-+
+in the fake rate for rejecting events without a second genuine lepton; this is handled separately in the top normalization
-+
+procedure by scaling the \ttlj\ contribution to match the data in the \mt\ peak after applying the isolated track veto.
-+
-+
+Furthermore, we test the data and MC
-+
+isolated track veto efficiencies for electrons and muons since we are using a Z tag-and-probe technique, but we do not
-+
+directly test the performance for hadronic tracks from $\tau$ decays. The performance for hadronic $\tau$ decay products
-+
+may differ from that of electrons and muons for two reasons. First, the $\tau$ may decay to a hadronic track plus one
-+
+or two $\pi^0$'s, which may decay to $\gamma\gamma$ followed by a photon conversion. As shown in Figure~\ref{fig:absiso},
-+
+the isolation distribution for charged tracks from $\tau$ decays that are not produced in association with $\pi^0$s are
-+
+consistent with that from $\E$s and $\M$s. Since events from single prong $\tau$ decays produced in association with
-+
+$\pi^0$s comprise a small fraction of the total sample, and since the kinematics of $\tau$, $\pi^0$ and $\gamma\to e^+e^-$
-+
+decays are well-understood, we currently demonstrate that the isolation is well-reproduced for electrons and muons only.
-+
+Second, hadronic tracks may undergo nuclear interactions and hence their tracks may not be reconstructed.
-+
+As discussed above, independent studies show that the MC reproduces the hadronic tracking efficiency within 4\%,
-+
+leading to a total background uncertainty of less than 0.5\% (after taking into account the fraction of the total background
-+
+due to hadronic $\tau$ decays with \pt\ $>$ 10 GeV tracks), and we hence regard this effect as negligible.
-+
-+
+The tag-and-probe studies are performed in the full data sample, and compared with the DYJets madgraph sample.
-+
+All events must contain a tag-probe pair (details below) with opposite-sign and satisfying the Z mass requirement 76--106 GeV.
-+
+We compare the distributions of absolute track isolation for probe electrons/muons in data vs. MC. The contributions to
-+
+this isolation sum are from ambient energy in the event from underlying event, pile-up and jet activitiy, and hence do
-+
+not depend on the \pt\ of the probe lepton. We therefore restrict the probe \pt\ to be $>$ 30 GeV in order to suppress
-+
+fake backgrounds with steeply-falling \pt\ spectra. To suppress non-Z backgrounds (in particular \ttbar) we require
-+
+\met\ $<$ 30 GeV and 0 b-tagged events.
-+
+The specific criteria for tags and probes for electrons and muons are:
-+
-+
+%We study the isolated track veto efficiency in bins of \njets.
-+
+%We are interested in events with at least 4 jets to emulate the hadronic activity in our signal sample. However since
-+
+%there are limited statistics for Z + $\geq$4 jet events, we study the isolated track performance in events with

-+
+    \end{itemize}
-+
+\end{itemize}
-+
-+
+The absolute track isolation distributions for passing probes are displayed in Fig.~\ref{fig:tnp}. In general we observe
-+
+good agreement between data and MC. To be more quantitative, we compare the data vs. MC efficiencies to satisfy
-+
+absolute track isolation requirements varying from $>$ 1 GeV to $>$ 5 GeV, as summarized in Table~\ref{tab:isotrk}.
-+
+In the $\geq 0$ and $\geq 1$ jet bins where the efficiencies can be tested with statistical precision, the data and MC
-+
+efficiencies agree within 6\%, and we apply this as a systematic uncertainty on the isolated track veto efficiency.
-+
+For the higher jet multiplicity bins the statistical precision decreases, but we do not observe any evidence for
-+
+a data vs. MC discrepancy in the isolated track veto efficiency.
-+
-+
-+
+%This is because our analysis requirement is relative track isolation $<$ 0.1, and m
-+
+%This requirement is chosen because most of the tracks rejected by the isolated
-+
+%track veto have a \pt\ near the 10 GeV threshold, and our analysis requirement is relative track isolation $<$ 1 GeV.

+The contribution from each source to the total uncertainty on the background yield is given in Tables~\ref{tab:relativeuncertaintycomponents} and~\ref{tab:uncertaintycomponents} for the relative and absolute uncertainties, respectively. In the low-\met\ regions the dominant uncertainty comes from the top tail-to-peak ratio, $R_{top}$ (Section~\ref{sec:ttp}), while in the high-\met\ regions the \ttll\ systematic uncertainty dominates (Section~\ref{sec:ttdilbkgunc}).

-+
+%for events with a track with $\pt > 10~\GeV$ in addition to a selected

+%muon for $\Z+4$ jet events and various \ttll\ components. The
-+
+%isolation distributions show significant differences, particularly
-+
+%between the leptons from a \W\ or \Z\ decay and the tracks arising
-+
+%from $\tau$ decays. As can also be seen in the figure, the \pt\

+%distribution for the various categories of tracks is different, where

+%the decay products from $\tau$s are significantly softer. Since the

-+
+%alters the isolation variable...

+%BEGIN SECTION TO WRITE OUT
-+
+%In detail, the procedure to correct the dilepton background is:
-+
-+
+%\begin{itemize}
-+
+%\item Using tag-and-probe studies, we plot the distribution of {\bf absolute} track isolation for identified probe electrons
-+
+%and muons {\bf TODO: need to compare the e vs. $\mu$ track iso distributions, they might differ due to e$\to$e$\gamma$}.
-+
+%\item We verify that the distribution of absolute track isolation does not depend on the \pt\ of the probe lepton.
-+
+%This is due to the fact that this isolation is from ambient PU and jet activity in the event, which is uncorrelated with
-+
+%the lepton \pt {\bf TODO: verify this in data and MC.}.
-+
+%\item Our requirement is {\bf relative} track isolation $<$ 0.1. For a given \ttll\ MC event, we determine the \pt of the 2nd
-+
+%lepton and translate this to find the corresponding requirement on the {\bf absolute} track isolation, which is simply $0.1\times$\pt.
-+
+%\item We measure the efficiency to satisfy this requirement in data and MC, and define a scale-factor $SF_{\epsilon(trk)}$ which
-+
+%is the ratio of the data-to-MC efficiencies. This scale-factor is applied to the \ttll\ MC event.
-+
+%\item {\bf THING 2 we are unsure about: we can measure this SF for electrons and for muons, but we can't measure it for hadronic
-+
+%tracks from $\tau$ decays. Verena has showed that the absolute track isolation distribution in hadronic $\tau$ tracks is harder due
-+
+%to $\pi^0\to\gamma\gamma$ with $\gamma\to e^+e^-$.}
-+
+%\end{itemize}
-+
+%END SECTION TO WRITE OUT
-+
-+
-+
+%{\bf fix me: What you have written in the next paragraph does not
-+
+%explain how $\epsilon_{fake}$ is measured.
-+
+%Why not measure $\epsilon_{fake}$ in the b-veto region?}
-+
-+
+%A measurement of the $\epsilon_{fake}$ in data is non-trivial. However, it is
-+
+%possible to correct for differences in the $\epsilon_{fake}$ between data and MC by
-+
+%applying an additional scale factor for the single lepton background
-+
+%alone, using the sample in the \mt\ peak region. This scale factor is determined after applying the isolated track
-+
+%veto and after subtracting the \ttll\ component, corrected for the
-+
+%isolation efficiency derived previously.
-+
+%As shown in Figure~\ref{fig:vetoeffcomp}, the efficiency for selecting an
-+
+%isolated track in single lepton events is independent of \mt\, so the use of
-+
+%an overall scale factor is justified to estimate the contribution in
-+
+%the \mt\ tail.

-+
+%          \mt\, while the data ranges between the two. This behavior
