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 normalize 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. The contribution to the overall
29 uncertainty from each background source is tabulated in
30 Section~\ref{sec:bgunc-bottomline}.
31 Here we discuss the uncertainties one-by-one and comment
32 on their impact on the overall result, at least to first order.
33 Second order effects, such as the one described, are also included.
34
35 \subsection{Statistical uncertainties on the event counts in the $M_T$
36 peak regions}
37 These vary between 2\% and 20\%, depending on the signal region
38 (different
39 signal regions have different \met\ requirements, thus they also have
40 different $M_T$ regions used as control).
41 Since
42 the major backgrounds, eg, $t\bar{t}$ are normalized to the peak regions, this
43 fractional uncertainty is pretty much carried through all the way to
44 the end. There is also an uncertainty from the finite MC event counts
45 in the $M_T$ peak regions. This is also included, but it is smaller.
46
47 Normalizing to the $M_T$ peak has the distinct advantages that
48 uncertainties on luminosity, cross-sections, trigger efficiency,
49 lepton ID, cancel out.
50 For the low statistics regions with high \met\ requirements, the
51 price to pay in terms of event count is that statistical uncertainties start
52 to become significant. In the future we may consider a different
53 normalization startegy in the low statistics regions.
54
55 \subsection{Uncertainty from the choice of $M_T$ peak region}
56
57 This choice affects the scale factors of Table~\ref{tab:mtpeaksf}.
58 If the $M_T$ peak region is not well modelled, this would introduce an
59 uncertainty.
60
61 We have tested this possibility by recalculating the post-veto scale factors for a different
62 choice
63 of $M_T$ peak region ($40 < M_T < 100$ GeV instead of the default
64 $50 < M_T < 80$ GeV). This is shown in Table~\ref{tab:mtpeaksf2}.
65 The two results for the scale factors are very compatible.
66 We do not take any systematic uncertainty for this possible effect.

112
113
114 \subsection{Uncertainty on the \wjets\ cross-section and the rare MC cross-sections}
115 These are taken as 50\%, uncorrelated.
116 The primary effect is to introduce a 50\%
117 uncertainty
118 on the $W +$ jets and rare BG
119 background predictions, respectively. However they also
120 have an effect on the other BGs via the $M_T$ peak normalization
121 in a way that tends to reduce the uncertainty. This is easy
122 to understand: if the $W$ cross-section is increased by 50\%, then
123 the $W$ background goes up. But the number of $M_T$ peak events
124 attributed to $t\bar{t}$ goes down, and since the $t\bar{t}$ BG is
125 scaled to the number of $t\bar{t}$ events in the peak, the $t\bar{t}$
126 BG goes down.
127
128 \subsection{Tail-to-peak ratios for lepton +
129 jets top and W events}
130 The tail-to-peak ratios $R_{top}$ and $R_{wjet}$ are described in Section~\ref{sec:ttp}.
131 The data/MC scale factors are studied in CR1 and CR2 (Sections~\ref{sec:cr1} and~\ref{sec:cr2}).
132 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 $R_{top}$.
133 The additional systematic uncertainty on $R_{top}$ from the variation between optimistic and pessimistic scenarios is given in Section~\ref{sec:ttp}.
134
135
136 \subsection{Uncertainty on extra jet radiation for dilepton
137 background}
138 As discussed in Section~\ref{sec:jetmultiplicity}, the
139 jet distribution in
140 $t\bar{t} \to$
141 dilepton MC is rescaled by the factors $K_3$ and $K_4$ to make
142 it agree with the data. The 3\% uncertainties on $K_3$ and $K_4$
143 comes from data/MC statistics. This
144 results directly in a 3\% uncertainty on the dilepton background, which is by far
145 the most important one.
146
147 \subsection{Uncertainty from MC statistics}
148 This affects mostly the \ttll\ background estimate, which is taken
149 from
150 Monte Carlo with appropriate correction factors. This uncertainty
151 is negligible in the low \met\ signal regions, and grows to about
152 15\% in SRG.
153
154
155 \subsection{Uncertainty on the \ttll\ Background}
156 \label{sec:ttdilbkgunc}
157 The \ttbar\ background prediction is obtained from MC, with corrections
158 derived from control samples in data. The uncertainty associated with
159 the \ttbar\ background is derived from the level of closure of the
160 background prediction in CR4 (Table~\ref{tab:cr4yields}) and
161 CR5 (Table~\ref{tab:cr5yields}). The results from these control region
162 checks are shown in Figure~\ref{fig:ttdlunc}. The uncertainties assigned
163 to the \ttdl\ background prediction based on these tests are
164 5\% (SRA), 10\% (SRB), 15\% (SRC), 25\% (SRD), 40\% (SRE-G).

180 \subsubsection{Check of the uncertainty on the \ttll\ Background}
181
182 We check that the systematic uncertainty assigned to the \ttll\ background prediction
183 covers the uncertainty associated with
184 the theoretical modeling of the \ttbar\ production and decay
185 by comparing the background predictions obtained using
186 alternative MC samples. It should be noted that the full analysis is
187 performed with the alternative samples under consideration,
188 including the derivation of the various data-to-MC scale factors.
189 The variations considered are
190
191 \begin{itemize}
192 \item Top mass: The alternative values for the top mass differ
193 from the central value by $6~\GeV$: $m_{\mathrm{top}} = 178.5~\GeV$ and $m_{\mathrm{top}}
194 = 166.5~\GeV$.
195 \item Jet-parton matching scale: This corresponds to variations in the
196 scale at which the Matrix Element partons from Madgraph are matched
197 to Parton Shower partons from Pythia. The nominal value is
198 $x_q>20~\GeV$. The alternative values used are $x_q>10~\GeV$ and
199 $x_q>40~\GeV$.
200 \item Renormalization and factorization scale: The alternative samples
201 correspond to variations in the scale $\times 2$ and $\times 0.5$. The nominal
202 value for the scale used is $Q^2 = m_{\mathrm{top}}^2 +
203 \sum_{\mathrm{jets}} \pt^2$.
204 \item Alternative generators: Samples produced with different
205 generators, Powheg (our default) and Madgraph.
206 \item Modeling of taus: The alternative sample does not include
207 Tauola and is otherwise identical to the Powheg sample.
208 This effect was studied earlier using 7~TeV samples and found to be negligible.
209 \item The PDF uncertainty is estimated following the PDF4LHC
210 recommendations. The events are reweighted using alternative
211 PDF sets for CT10 and MSTW2008 and the uncertainties for each are derived using the
212 alternative eigenvector variations and the ``master equation''.
213 The NNPDF2.1 set with 100 replicas is also used. The central value is
214 determined from the mean and the uncertainty is derived from the
215 $1\sigma$ range. The overall uncertainty is derived from the envelope of the
216 alternative predictions and their uncertainties.
217 This effect was studied earlier using 7~TeV samples and found to be negligible.

271
272 In Fig.~\ref{fig:ttllsyst} we compare the alternate MC \ttll\ background predictions
273 for regions A through E. We can make the following observations based
274 on this Figure.
275
276 \begin{itemize}
277 \item In the tighter signal regions we are running out of
278 statistics.
279 \item Within the limited statistics, there is no evidence that the
280 situation changes as we go from signal region A to signal region E.
281 %Therefore, we assess a systematic based on the relatively high
282 %statistics
283 %test in signal region A, and apply the same systematic uncertainty
284 %to all other regions.
285 \item In signal regions B and above, the uncertainties assigned in Section~\ref{sec:ttdilbkgunc}
286 fully cover the alternative MC variations.
287 \item In order to fully (as opposed as 1$\sigma$) cover the
288 alternative MC variations in region A we would have to take a
289 systematic
290 uncertainty of $\approx 10\%$ instead of $5\%$. This would be driven by the
291 scale up/scale down variations, see Table~\ref{tab:fracdiff}.

319 However, we have two pieces of information indicating that the
320 scale up/scale down variations are inconsistent with the data.
321 These are described below.
322
323 The first piece of information is that the jet multiplicity in the scale
324 up/scale down sample is the most inconsistent with the data. This is shown
325 in Table~\ref{tab:njetskfactors_met100}, where we tabulate the
326 $K_3$ and $K_4$ factors of Section~\ref{sec:jetmultiplicity} for
327 different \ttbar\ MC samples. The data/MC disagreement in the $N_{jets}$
328 distribution
329 for the scale up/scale down samples is also shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:dileptonnjets_scaleup}
330 and~\ref{fig:dileptonnjets_scaledw}. This should be compared with the
331 equivalent $N_{jets}$ plots for the default Powheg MC, see
332 Fig.~\ref{fig:dileptonnjets}, which agrees much better with data.

361 The second piece of information is that we have performed closure
362 tests in CR5 using the alternative MC samples. These are exactly
363 the same tests as the one performed in Section~\ref{sec:CR5} on the
364 Powheg sample. As we argued previously, this is a very powerful
365 test of the background calculation.
366 The results of this test are summarized in Table~\ref{tab:hugecr5yields}.
367 Concentrating on the relatively high statistics CR5A region, we see
368 for all \ttbar\ MC samples except scale up/scale down we obtain
369 closure within 1$\sigma$. The scale up/scale down tests closes
370 worse, only within 2$\sigma$. This again is evidence that the
371 scale up/scale down variations are in disagreement with the data.
372
373 \input{hugeCR5Table.tex}
374
375 Based on the two observations above, we argue that the MC
376 scale up/scale down variations are too extreme. We feel that
377 a reasonable choice would be to take one-half of the scale up/scale
378 down variations in our MC. This factor of 1/2 would then bring
379 the discrepancy in the closure test of
380 Table~\ref{tab:hugecr5yields} for the scale up/scale down variations
381 from about 2$\sigma$ to about 1$\sigma$.
382
383 Then, going back to Table~\ref{tab:fracdiff}, and reducing the scale
384 up/scale
385 down variations by a factor 2, we can see that a systematic
386 uncertainty
387 of 5\% covers the range of reasonable variations from different MC
388 models in SRA and SRB.
389 %The alternative MC models indicate that a 6\% systematic uncertainty
390 %covers the range of reasonable variations.
391 Note that this 5\% is also consistent with the level at which we are
392 able to test the closure of the method with alternative samples in CR5 for the high statistics
393 regions (Table~\ref{tab:hugecr5yields}).
394 The range of reasonable variations obtained with the alternative
395 samples are consistent with the uncertainties assigned for
396 the \ttll\ background based on the closure of the background
397 predictions and data in CR4 and CR5.

488 %The methodology for determining the systematics on the background
489 %predictions has not changed with respect to the nominal analysis.
490 %Because the template method has not changed, the same
491 %systematic uncertainty is assessed on this prediction (32\%).
492 %The 50\% uncertainty on the WZ and ZZ background is also unchanged.
493 %The systematic uncertainty in the OF background prediction based on
494 %e$\mu$ events has changed, due to the different composition of this
495 %sample after vetoing events containing b-tagged jets.
496 %
497 %As in the nominal analysis, we do not require the e$\mu$ events
498 %to satisfy the dilepton mass requirement and apply a scaling factor K,
499 %extracted from MC, to account for the fraction of e$\mu$ events
500 %which satisfy the dilepton mass requirement. This procedure is used
501 %in order to improve the statistical precision of the OF background estimate.
502 %
503 %For the selection used in the nominal analysis,
504 %the e$\mu$ sample is completely dominated by $t\bar{t}$
505 %events, and we observe that K is statistically consistent with constant with
506 %respect to the \MET\ requirement. However, in this analysis, the $t\bar{t}$
507 %background is strongly suppressed by the b-veto, and hence the non-$t\bar{t}$
508 %backgrounds (specifically, $Z\to\tau\tau$ and VV) become more relevant.
509 %At low \MET, the $Z\to\tau\tau$ background is pronounced, while $t\bar{t}$
510 %and VV dominate at high \MET\ (see App.~\ref{app:kinemu}).
511 %Therefore, the sample composition changes
512 %as the \MET\ requirement is varied, and as a result K depends
513 %on the \MET\ requirement.
514 %
515 %We thus measure K in MC separately for each
516 %\MET\ requirement, as displayed in Fig.~\ref{fig:kvmet} (left).
517 %%The systematic uncertainty on K is determined separately for each \MET\
518 %%requirement by comparing the relative difference in K in data vs. MC.
519 %The values of K used are the MC predictions
520 %%and the total systematic uncertainty on the OF prediction
521 %%as shown in
522 %(Table \ref{fig:kvmettable}).
523 %The contribution to the total OF prediction systematic uncertainty
524 %from K is assessed from the ratio of K in data and MC,
525 %shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:kvmet} (right).
526 %The ratio is consistent with unity to roughly 17\%,
527 %so we take this value as the systematic from K.
528 %17\% added in quadrature with 7\% from
529 %the electron to muon efficieny ratio
530 %(as assessed in the inclusive analysis)
531 %yields a total systematic of $\sim$18\%
532 %which we round up to 20\%.
533 %For \MET\ $>$ 150, there are no OF events in data inside the Z mass window
534 %so we take a systematic based on the statistical uncertainty
535 %of the MC prediction for K.
536 %This value is 25\% for \MET\ $>$ 150 GeV and 60\% for \MET\ $>$ 200 GeV.
537 %%Although we cannot check the value of K in data for \MET\ $>$ 150
538 %%because we find no OF events inside the Z mass window for this \MET\
539 %%cut, the overall OF yields with no dilepton mass requirement
540 %%agree to roughly 20\% (9 data vs 7.0 $\pm$ 1.1 MC).
541 %
542 %
543 %%Below Old
544 %
545 %%In reevaluating the systematics on the OF prediction, however,
546 %%we observed a different behavior of K as a function of \MET\
547 %%as was seen in the inclusive analysis.
548 %
549 %%Recall that K is the ratio of the number of \emu\ events
550 %%inside the Z window to the total number of \emu\ events.
551 %%In the inclusive analysis, it is taken from \ttbar\ MC
552 %%and used to scale the inclusive \emu\ yield in data.
553 %%The yield scaled by K is then corrected for
554 %%the $e$ vs $\mu$ efficiency difference to obtain the
555 %%final OF prediction.
556 %
557 %%Based on the plot in figure \ref{fig:kvmet},
558 %%we choose to use a different
559 %%K for each \MET\ cut and assess a systematic uncertainty
560 %%on the OF prediction based on the difference between
561 %%K in data and MC.
562 %%The variation of K as a function of \MET\ is caused
563 %%by a change in sample composition with increasing \MET.
564 %%At \MET\ $<$ 60 GeV, the contribution of Z plus jets is
565 %%not negligible (as it was in the inclusive analysis)
566 %%because of the b veto. (See appendix \ref{app:kinemu}.)
567 %%At higher \MET, \ttbar\ and diboson backgrounds dominate.

621 This is the uncertainty associated with how well the isolated track
622 veto performance is modeled by the Monte Carlo. This uncertainty
623 only applies to the fraction of dilepton BG events that have
624 a second e/$\mu$ or a one prong $\tau \to h$, with
625 $P_T > 10$ GeV in $|\eta| < 2.4$. This fraction is about 1/3, see
626 Table~\ref{tab:trueisotrk}.
627 The uncertainty for these events
628 is 6\% and is obtained from tag-and-probe studies, see Section~\ref{sec:trkveto}.

649 \subsubsection{Isolated Track Veto: Tag and Probe Studies}
650 \label{sec:trkveto}
651
652
653 In this section we compare the performance of the isolated track veto in data and MC using tag-and-probe studies
654 with samples of Z$\to$ee and Z$\to\mu\mu$. The purpose of these studies is to demonstrate that the efficiency
655 to satisfy the isolated track veto requirements is well-reproduced in the MC, since if this were not the case
656 we would need to apply a data-to-MC scale factor in order to correctly
657 predict the \ttll\ background.
658
659 This study
660 addresses possible data vs. MC discrepancies for the {\bf efficiency} to identify (and reject) events with a
661 second {\bf genuine} lepton (e, $\mu$, or $\tau\to$1-prong). It does not address possible data vs. MC discrepancies
662 in the fake rate for rejecting events without a second genuine lepton; this is handled separately in the top normalization
663 procedure by scaling the \ttlj\ contribution to match the data in the \mt\ peak after applying the isolated track veto.
664
665 Furthermore, we test the data and MC
666 isolated track veto efficiencies for electrons and muons since we are using a Z tag-and-probe technique, but we do not
667 directly test the performance for hadronic tracks from $\tau$ decays. The performance for hadronic $\tau$ decay products
668 may differ from that of electrons and muons for two reasons. First, the $\tau$ may decay to a hadronic track plus one
669 or two $\pi^0$'s, which may decay to $\gamma\gamma$ followed by a photon conversion. As shown in Figure~\ref{fig:absiso},
670 the isolation distribution for charged tracks from $\tau$ decays that are not produced in association with $\pi^0$s are
671 consistent with that from $\E$s and $\M$s. Since events from single prong $\tau$ decays produced in association with
672 $\pi^0$s comprise a small fraction of the total sample, and since the kinematics of $\tau$, $\pi^0$ and $\gamma\to e^+e^-$
673 decays are well-understood, we currently demonstrate that the isolation is well-reproduced for electrons and muons only.
674 Second, hadronic tracks may undergo nuclear interactions and hence their tracks may not be reconstructed.
675 As discussed above, independent studies show that the MC reproduces the hadronic tracking efficiency within 4\%,
676 leading to a total background uncertainty of less than 0.5\% (after taking into account the fraction of the total background
677 due to hadronic $\tau$ decays with \pt\ $>$ 10 GeV tracks), and we hence regard this effect as negligible.
678
679 The tag-and-probe studies are performed in the full data sample, and compared with the DYJets madgraph sample.
680 All events must contain a tag-probe pair (details below) with opposite-sign and satisfying the Z mass requirement 76--106 GeV.
681 We compare the distributions of absolute track isolation for probe electrons/muons in data vs. MC. The contributions to
682 this isolation sum are from ambient energy in the event from underlying event, pile-up and jet activitiy, and hence do
683 not depend on the \pt\ of the probe lepton. We therefore restrict the probe \pt\ to be $>$ 30 GeV in order to suppress
684 fake backgrounds with steeply-falling \pt\ spectra. To suppress non-Z backgrounds (in particular \ttbar) we require
685 \met\ $<$ 30 GeV and 0 b-tagged events.
686 The specific criteria for tags and probes for electrons and muons are:
687
688 %We study the isolated track veto efficiency in bins of \njets.
689 %We are interested in events with at least 4 jets to emulate the hadronic activity in our signal sample. However since
690 %there are limited statistics for Z + $\geq$4 jet events, we study the isolated track performance in events with

731 The absolute track isolation distributions for passing probes are displayed in Fig.~\ref{fig:tnp}. In general we observe
732 good agreement between data and MC. To be more quantitative, we compare the data vs. MC efficiencies to satisfy
733 absolute track isolation requirements varying from $>$ 1 GeV to $>$ 5 GeV, as summarized in Table~\ref{tab:isotrk}.
734 In the $\geq 0$ and $\geq 1$ jet bins where the efficiencies can be tested with statistical precision, the data and MC
735 efficiencies agree within 6\%, and we apply this as a systematic uncertainty on the isolated track veto efficiency.
736 For the higher jet multiplicity bins the statistical precision decreases, but we do not observe any evidence for
737 a data vs. MC discrepancy in the isolated track veto efficiency.
738
739
740 %This is because our analysis requirement is relative track isolation $<$ 0.1, and m
741 %This requirement is chosen because most of the tracks rejected by the isolated
742 %track veto have a \pt\ near the 10 GeV threshold, and our analysis requirement is relative track isolation $<$ 1 GeV.

874 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}).

912 %BEGIN SECTION TO WRITE OUT
913 %In detail, the procedure to correct the dilepton background is:
914
915 %\begin{itemize}
916 %\item Using tag-and-probe studies, we plot the distribution of {\bf absolute} track isolation for identified probe electrons
917 %and muons {\bf TODO: need to compare the e vs. $\mu$ track iso distributions, they might differ due to e$\to$e$\gamma$}.
918 %\item We verify that the distribution of absolute track isolation does not depend on the \pt\ of the probe lepton.
919 %This is due to the fact that this isolation is from ambient PU and jet activity in the event, which is uncorrelated with
920 %the lepton \pt {\bf TODO: verify this in data and MC.}.
921 %\item Our requirement is {\bf relative} track isolation $<$ 0.1. For a given \ttll\ MC event, we determine the \pt of the 2nd
922 %lepton and translate this to find the corresponding requirement on the {\bf absolute} track isolation, which is simply $0.1\times$\pt.
923 %\item We measure the efficiency to satisfy this requirement in data and MC, and define a scale-factor $SF_{\epsilon(trk)}$ which
924 %is the ratio of the data-to-MC efficiencies. This scale-factor is applied to the \ttll\ MC event.
925 %\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
926 %tracks from $\tau$ decays. Verena has showed that the absolute track isolation distribution in hadronic $\tau$ tracks is harder due
927 %to $\pi^0\to\gamma\gamma$ with $\gamma\to e^+e^-$.}

932 %{\bf fix me: What you have written in the next paragraph does not
933 %explain how $\epsilon_{fake}$ is measured.
934 %Why not measure $\epsilon_{fake}$ in the b-veto region?}
935
936 %A measurement of the $\epsilon_{fake}$ in data is non-trivial. However, it is
937 %possible to correct for differences in the $\epsilon_{fake}$ between data and MC by
938 %applying an additional scale factor for the single lepton background
939 %alone, using the sample in the \mt\ peak region. This scale factor is determined after applying the isolated track
940 %veto and after subtracting the \ttll\ component, corrected for the
941 %isolation efficiency derived previously.
942 %As shown in Figure~\ref{fig:vetoeffcomp}, the efficiency for selecting an
943 %isolated track in single lepton events is independent of \mt\, so the use of
944 %an overall scale factor is justified to estimate the contribution in
945 %the \mt\ tail.
