1   %\section{Systematics Uncertainties on the Background Prediction}
2   %\label{sec:systematics}
3  
4 + In this Section we discuss the systematic uncertainty on the BG
5 + prediction.  This prediction is assembled from the event
6 + counts in the peak region of the transverse mass distribution as
7 + well as Monte Carlo
8 + with a number of correction factors, as described previously.
9 + The
10 + final uncertainty on the prediction is built up from the uncertainties in these
11 + individual
12 + components.
13 + The calculation is done for each signal
14 + region,
15 + for electrons and muons separately.
16 +
17 + The choice to normalizing to the peak region of $M_T$ has the
18 + advantage that some uncertainties, e.g., luminosity, cancel.
19 + It does however introduce complications because it couples
20 + some of the uncertainties in non-trivial ways.  For example,
21 + the primary effect of an uncertainty on the rare MC cross-section
22 + is to introduce an uncertainty in the rare MC background estimate
23 + which comes entirely from MC.   But this uncertainty also affects,
24 + for example,
25 + the $t\bar{t} \to$ dilepton BG estimate because it changes the
26 + $t\bar{t}$ normalization to the peak region (because some of the
27 + events in the peak region are from rare processes).  These effects
28 + are carefully accounted for.  
29 + %%%TO ADD BACK IN IF WE HAVE SYSTEMATICS TABLE.
30 + %The contribution to the overall
31 + %uncertainty from each BG source is tabulated in
32 + %Section~\ref{sec:bgunc-bottomline}.
33 + Here we discuss the uncertainties one-by-one and comment
34 + on their impact on the overall result, at least to first order.
35 + Second order effects, such as the one described, are also included.
36 +
37 + \subsection{Statistical uncertainties on the event counts in the $M_T$
38 + peak regions}
39 + These vary between 2\% and 20\%, depending on the signal region
40 + (different
41 + signal regions have different \met\ requirements, thus they also have
42 + different $M_T$ regions used as control.
43 + Since
44 + the major backgrounds, eg, $t\bar{t}$ are normalized to the peak regions, this
45 + fractional uncertainty is pretty much carried through all the way to
46 + the end.  There is also an uncertainty from the finite MC event counts
47 + in the $M_T$ peak regions.  This is also included, but it is smaller.
48 +
49 + Normalizing to the $M_T$ peak has the distinct advantages that
50 + uncertainties on luminosity, cross-sections, trigger efficiency,
51 + lepton ID, cancel out.
52 + For the low statistics regions with high \met\ requirements, the
53 + price to pay in terms of event count is that statistical uncertainties start
54 + to become significant.  In the future we may consider a different
55 + normalization startegy in the low statistics regions.
56 +
57 + \subsection{Uncertainty from the choice of $M_T$ peak region}
58 +
59 + This choice affects the scale factors of Table~\ref{tab:mtpeaksf}.  
60 + If the $M_T$ peak region is not well modelled, this would introduce an
61 + uncertainty.
62 +
63 + We have tested this possibility by recalculating the post veto scale factors for a different
64 + choice
65 + of $M_T$ peak region ($40 < M_T < 100$ GeV instead of the default
66 + $50 < M_T < 80$ GeV.  This is shown in Table~\ref{tab:mtpeaksf2}.  
67 + The two results for the scale factors are very compatible.
68 + We do not take any systematic uncertainty for this possible effect.

115 +
116 + \subsection{Uncertainty on the Wjets cross-section and the rare MC cross-sections}
117 + These are taken as 50\%, uncorrelated.  
118 + The primary effect is to introduce a 50\%
119 + uncertainty
120 + on the $W +$ jets and rare BG
121 + background predictions, respectively.  However they also
122 + have an effect on the other BGs via the $M_T$ peak normalization
123 + in a way that tends to reduce the uncertainty.  This is easy
124 + to understand: if the $W$ cross-section is increased by 50\%, then
125 + the $W$ background goes up.  But the number of $M_T$ peak events
126 + attributed to $t\bar{t}$ goes down, and since the $t\bar{t}$ BG is
127 + scaled to the number of $t\bar{t}$ events in the peak, the $t\bar{t}$
128 + BG goes down.  
129 +
130 + \subsection{Scale factors for the tail-to-peak ratios for lepton +
131 +  jets top and W events}
132 + These tail-to-peak ratios are described in Section~\ref{sec:ttp}.
133 + They are studied in CR1 and CR2.  The studies are described
134 + in Sections~\ref{sec:cr1} and~\ref{sec:cr2}), respectively, where
135 + we also give the uncertainty on the scale factors (see
136 + Tables~\ref{tab:cr1yields}
137 + and~\ref{tab:cr2yields}, scale factors $SFR_{wjet}$ and $SFR_{top}$).
138 +
139 + \subsection{Uncertainty on extra jet radiation for dilepton
140 +  background}
141 + As discussed in Section~\ref{sec:jetmultiplicity}, the
142 + jet distribution in
143 + $t\bar{t} \to$
144 + dilepton MC is rescaled by the factors $K_3$ and $K_4$ to make
145 + it agree with the data.  The 3\% uncertainties on $K_3$ and $K_4$
146 + comes from data/MC statistics.  This  
147 + result directly in a 3\% uncertainty on the dilepton background, which is by far
148 + the most important one.
149 +
150 + \subsection{Uncertainty from MC statistics}
151 + This affects mostly the \ttll\ background estimate, which is taken
152 + from
153 + Monte Carlo with appropriate correction factors.  This uncertainty
154 + is negligible in the low \met\ signal regions, and grows to about
155 + 15\% in SRG.
156 +
157 +
158   \subsection{Uncertainty on the \ttll\ Acceptance}

249 +
250 + In Fig.~\ref{fig:ttllsyst} we compare the alternate MC \ttll\ background predictions
251 + for regions A through E.  We can make the following observations based
252 + on this Figure.
253 +
254 + \begin{itemize}
255 + \item In the tighter signal regions we are running out of
256 +  statistics.    
257 + \item Within the limited statistics, there is no evidence that the
258 +  situation changes as we go from signal region A to signal region E.
259 + Therefore, we assess a systematic based on the relatively high
260 + statistics
261 + test in signal region A, and apply the same systematic uncertainty
262 + to all other regions.
263 + \item In order to fully (as opposed as 1$\sigma$) cover the
264 + alternative MC variations in region A we would have to take a
265 + systematic
266 + uncertainty of $\approx 10\%$.  This would be driven by the
267 + scale up/scale down variations, see Table~\ref{tab:fracdiff}.

295 + However, we have two pieces of information indicating that the

298 +

301 + in Table~\ref{tab:njetskfactors_met100}, where we tabulate the

335 + \clearpage
336 +
337 + The second piece of information is that we have performed closure
338 + tests in CR5 using the alternative MC samples.  These are exactly
339 + the same tests as the one performed in Section~\ref{sec:CR5} on the
340 + Powheg sample.  As we argued previously, this is a very powerful
341 + test of the background calculation.
342 + The results of this test are summarized in Table~\ref{tab:hugecr5yields}.
343 + Concentrating on the relatively high statistics CR5A region, we see
344 + for all \ttbar\ MC samples except scale up/scale down we obtain
345 + closure within 1$\sigma$.  The scale up/scale down tests closes
346 + worse, only within 2$\sigma$.  This again is evidence that the
347 + scale up/scale down variations are in disagreement with the data.
348 +
349 + \input{hugeCR5Table.tex}
350 +
351 + Based on the two observations above, we argue that the MC
352 + scale up/scale down variations are too extreme.  We feel that
353 + a reasonable choice would be to take one-half of the scale up/scale
354 + down variations in our MC.  This factor of 1/2 would then bring
355 + the discrepancy in the closure test of
356 + Table~\ref{tab:hugecr5yields} for the scale up/scale down variations
357 + from about 2$\sigma$ to about 1$\sigma$.
358 +
359 + Then, going back to Table~\ref{tab:fracdiff}, and reducing the scale
360 + up/scale
361 + down variations by a factor 2, we can see that a systematic
362 + uncertainty
363 + of 6\% would fully cover all of the variations from different MC
364 + samples in SRA and SRB.
365 + {\bf Thus, we take a 6\% systematic uncertainty,  constant as a
366 + function of signal region, as the systematic due to alternative MC
367 + models.}
368 + Note that this 6\% is also consistent with the level at which we are
369 + able
370 + to test the closure of the method in CR5 for the high statistics
371 + regions
372 + (Table~\ref{tab:hugecr5yields}).

625 + \subsubsection{Isolated Track Veto: Tag and Probe Studies}
626 + \label{sec:trkveto}
627 +
628 +
629 + In this section we compare the performance of the isolated track veto in data and MC using tag-and-probe studies
630 + with samples of Z$\to$ee and Z$\to\mu\mu$. The purpose of these studies is to demonstrate that the efficiency
631 + to satisfy the isolated track veto requirements is well-reproduced in the MC, since if this were not the case
632 + we would need to apply a data-to-MC scale factor in order to correctly
633 + predict the \ttll\ background.
634 +
635 + This study
636 + addresses possible data vs. MC discrepancies for the {\bf efficiency} to identify (and reject) events with a
637 + second {\bf genuine} lepton (e, $\mu$, or $\tau\to$1-prong). It does not address possible data vs. MC discrepancies
638 + in the fake rate for rejecting events without a second genuine lepton; this is handled separately in the top normalization
639 + procedure by scaling the \ttlj\ contribution to match the data in the \mt\ peak after applying the isolated track veto.
640 +
641 + Furthermore, we test the data and MC
642 + isolated track veto efficiencies for electrons and muons since we are using a Z tag-and-probe technique, but we do not
643 + directly test the performance for hadronic tracks from $\tau$ decays. The performance for hadronic $\tau$ decay products
644 + may differ from that of electrons and muons for two reasons. First, the $\tau$ may decay to a hadronic track plus one
645 + or two $\pi^0$'s, which may decay to $\gamma\gamma$ followed by a photon conversion. As shown in Figure~\ref{fig:absiso},
646 + the isolation distribution for charged tracks from $\tau$ decays that are not produced in association with $\pi^0$s are
647 + consistent with that from $\E$s and $\M$s. Since events from single prong $\tau$ decays produced in association with
648 + $\pi^0$s comprise a small fraction of the total sample, and since the kinematics of $\tau$, $\pi^0$ and $\gamma\to e^+e^-$
649 + decays are well-understood, we currently demonstrate that the isolation is well-reproduced for electrons and muons only.
650 + Second, hadronic tracks may undergo nuclear interactions and hence their tracks may not be reconstructed.
651 + As discussed above, independent studies show that the MC reproduces the hadronic tracking efficiency within 4\%,
652 + leading to a total background uncertainty of less than 0.5\% (after taking into account the fraction of the total background
653 + due to hadronic $\tau$ decays with \pt\ $>$ 10 GeV tracks), and we hence regard this effect as negligible.
654 +
655 + The tag-and-probe studies are performed in the full data sample, and compared with the DYJets madgraph sample.
656 + All events must contain a tag-probe pair (details below) with opposite-sign and satisfying the Z mass requirement 76--106 GeV.
657 + We compare the distributions of absolute track isolation for probe electrons/muons in data vs. MC. The contributions to
658 + this isolation sum are from ambient energy in the event from underlying event, pile-up and jet activitiy, and hence do
659 + not depend on the \pt\ of the probe lepton. We therefore restrict the probe \pt\ to be $>$ 30 GeV in order to suppress
660 + fake backgrounds with steeply-falling \pt\ spectra. To suppress non-Z backgrounds (in particular \ttbar) we require
661 + \met\ $<$ 30 GeV and 0 b-tagged events.
662 + The specific criteria for tags and probes for electrons and muons are:
663 +
664 + %We study the isolated track veto efficiency in bins of \njets.
665 + %We are interested in events with at least 4 jets to emulate the hadronic activity in our signal sample. However since
666 + %there are limited statistics for Z + $\geq$4 jet events, we study the isolated track performance in events with

704 +    \end{itemize}
705 + \end{itemize}
706 +
707 + The absolute track isolation distributions for passing probes are displayed in Fig.~\ref{fig:tnp}. In general we observe
708 + good agreement between data and MC. To be more quantitative, we compare the data vs. MC efficiencies to satisfy
709 + absolute track isolation requirements varying from $>$ 1 GeV to $>$ 5 GeV, as summarized in Table~\ref{tab:isotrk}.
710 + In the $\geq 0$ and $\geq 1$ jet bins where the efficiencies can be tested with statistical precision, the data and MC
711 + efficiencies agree within 6\%, and we apply this as a systematic uncertainty on the isolated track veto efficiency.
712 + For the higher jet multiplicity bins the statistical precision decreases, but we do not observe any evidence for
713 + a data vs. MC discrepancy in the isolated track veto efficiency.
714 +
715 +
716 + %This is because our analysis requirement is relative track isolation $<$ 0.1, and m
717 + %This requirement is chosen because most of the tracks rejected by the isolated
718 + %track veto have a \pt\ near the 10 GeV threshold, and our analysis requirement is relative track isolation $<$ 1 GeV.

877 + %BEGIN SECTION TO WRITE OUT
878 + %In detail, the procedure to correct the dilepton background is:
879 +
880 + %\begin{itemize}
881 + %\item Using tag-and-probe studies, we plot the distribution of {\bf absolute} track isolation for identified probe electrons
882 + %and muons {\bf TODO: need to compare the e vs. $\mu$ track iso distributions, they might differ due to e$\to$e$\gamma$}.
883 + %\item We verify that the distribution of absolute track isolation does not depend on the \pt\ of the probe lepton.
884 + %This is due to the fact that this isolation is from ambient PU and jet activity in the event, which is uncorrelated with
885 + %the lepton \pt {\bf TODO: verify this in data and MC.}.
886 + %\item Our requirement is {\bf relative} track isolation $<$ 0.1. For a given \ttll\ MC event, we determine the \pt of the 2nd
887 + %lepton and translate this to find the corresponding requirement on the {\bf absolute} track isolation, which is simply $0.1\times$\pt.
888 + %\item We measure the efficiency to satisfy this requirement in data and MC, and define a scale-factor $SF_{\epsilon(trk)}$ which
889 + %is the ratio of the data-to-MC efficiencies. This scale-factor is applied to the \ttll\ MC event.
890 + %\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
891 + %tracks from $\tau$ decays. Verena has showed that the absolute track isolation distribution in hadronic $\tau$ tracks is harder due
892 + %to $\pi^0\to\gamma\gamma$ with $\gamma\to e^+e^-$.}

894 + %END SECTION TO WRITE OUT
895 +
896 +
897 + %{\bf fix me: What you have written in the next paragraph does not
898 + %explain how $\epsilon_{fake}$ is measured.
899 + %Why not measure $\epsilon_{fake}$ in the b-veto region?}
900 +
901 + %A measurement of the $\epsilon_{fake}$ in data is non-trivial. However, it is
902 + %possible to correct for differences in the $\epsilon_{fake}$ between data and MC by
903 + %applying an additional scale factor for the single lepton background
904 + %alone, using the sample in the \mt\ peak region. This scale factor is determined after applying the isolated track
905 + %veto and after subtracting the \ttll\ component, corrected for the
906 + %isolation efficiency derived previously.
907 + %As shown in Figure~\ref{fig:vetoeffcomp}, the efficiency for selecting an
908 + %isolated track in single lepton events is independent of \mt\, so the use of
909 + %an overall scale factor is justified to estimate the contribution in
910 + %the \mt\ tail.
