2     \section{Results for the ``edge analysis'' SUS-12-019}
3     \label{sec:edge}
4    
5     The Aachen and ETH groups have reported an excess of low-mass, opposite-sign same-flavor events (see AN 2012/200 and AN 2012/231).
6     In App.~\ref{sec:edge_templates} we derive predictions for the Z background in the Z mass regions for the two signal regions used for this analysis,
7     and use these predictions to derive an estimate of the low-mass $\gamma^*$/Z contributions using an extrapolation technique
8     commonly referred to as the ``$R_{out/in}$'' technique.
9    
10     %In App.~\ref{sec:edge_triggers} we provide a cross-check using single lepton triggers.
11    
12     \subsection{Z Background Predictions for the ``Edge Analysis''}
13     \label{sec:edge_templates}
14    
15     The two signal regions of the edge analysis are defined as:
16    
17     \begin{itemize}
18     \item Low-\MET signal region (ETH)
19     \begin{itemize}
20     \item 2 \pt $>$ 20 GeV leptons with $|\eta|<2.4$
21     \item At least 3 jets (\pt\ $>$ 40 GeV, $|\eta|<3$)
22     \item \MET\ $>$ 100 GeV
23     \end{itemize}
24     \item High-\MET signal region (Aachen)
25     \begin{itemize}
26     \item leading lepton \pt $>$ 20 GeV, trailing lepton \pt\ $>$ 10 GeV, both with $|\eta|<2.4$
27     \item At least 2 jets (\pt\ $>$ 40 GeV, $|\eta|<3$) with scalar sum $H_{T}>100$~GeV
28     \item \MET\ $>$ 150 GeV
29     \end{itemize}
30     \end{itemize}
31    
32     We begin with a synchronization exercise to make sure that we can reproduce the ETH/Aachen results. In Table~\ref{tab:edgesync} we
33     display the yields in the Z mass regions of the 2 signal regions and compare these to results from the ETH group.
34     In general we are synchronized to 3\% or better in all channels. Note that for the purposes of this exercise we include an additional
35     dimuon trigger (HLT\_Mu17\_TkMu8) which is not yet included in the results that follow. The inclusion of this trigger adds 3 $\mu\mu$
36     events in both the low \MET\ and high \MET\ signal regions.

71    
72     In order to adapt the \MET\ templates method to predict the Z background in these regions, we make minor modifications
73     to the flavor-symmetric (FS) scaling factor $K$ and to the binning used for the \MET\ templates. The FS background
74     is estimated using e$\mu$ events in data.
75     To improve the precision of this background estimate, the dilepton mass requirement is not applied, and we apply a scaling
76     factor $K$, which is the efficiency for e$\mu$ events to fall in the Z mass window, extracted from MC.
77     The values of $K$ for various \MET\ intervals for the high-\MET\ region (using \pt\ $>$ (20,10) GeV leptons and at least 2 jets)
78     are shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:K_incl_highmet}.
79     Based on this plot we choose $K=0.13\pm0.02$ for \MET\ signal regions up to 200 GeV; for \MET\ 200-300 GeV and \MET\ $>$ 300 GeV
80     we inflate the uncertainty to $K=0.13\pm0.04$ and $K=0.13\pm0.05$, respectively, due to the limited statistical precision.
81     The values of $K$ for the low-\MET\ region (using \pt\ $>$ (20,20) GeV leptons and at least 3 jets) are shown in
82     Fig.~\ref{fig:K_incl_lowmet}.
83     Based on this plot we choose $K=0.14\pm0.02$ for \MET\ signal regions up to 200 GeV; for \MET\ 200-300 GeV and \MET\ $>$ 300 GeV
84     we inflate the uncertainty to $K=0.14\pm0.03$ and $K=0.14\pm0.07$, respectively. In addition, we change the
85     jet \pt\ threshold for the \MET\ templates jet multiplicity binning from 30 to 40 GeV, and change the $H_T$ bins to
86     (0,80,100,150,200,250,300,5000) GeV.

518     The strategy is to select Z$\to\ell\ell$ candidates ($81<m_{\ell\ell}<101$ GeV) with jet requirements corresponding to the
519     low-\MET\ and high-\MET\ signal regions, and compare the observed \MET\ distribution to the sum of the predictions from the
520     \zjets\ background (from the \MET\ templates method based on the \gjets\ data control sample), the flavor-symmetric background predicted
521     from e$\mu$ data events, and MC contributions from WZ/ZZ, as well as the rare SM processes with Z bosons ($t\bar{t}\rm{Z}$ and ZZZ, ZZW, ZWW).
522    
523     The results of the low \MET\ signal region are displayed in Fig.~\ref{fig:results_lowmet} and summarized in Table~\ref{tab:results_lowmet},
524     separately for the Run2012A+B data (5.1 fb$^{-1}$) and Run2012C data (4.1 fb$^{-1}$).
525     In the Run2012A+B data, we observed a 1.6$\sigma$ excess for \MET\ $>$ 100 GeV, corresponding to the low \MET\ signal region.
526     However, this excess does not persist in Run2012C data, where we observe good agreement between the data and the predicted background.
527     In the combined Run2012A+B+C data (Fig.~\ref{fig:results_fulledge} and Table~\ref{tab:results_edgefull}) we observe reasonable
528     agreement over the full \MET\ range. In the \MET\ $>$ 100 GeV region we observe 288 events with a predicted background of $251\pm33$,
529     representing an excess of 1.0$\sigma$.
530    
531     The results of the high \MET\ signal region are displayed in Fig.~\ref{fig:results_highmet} and summarized in Table~\ref{tab:results_highmet},
532     separately for the Run2012A+B data (5.1 fb$^{-1}$) and Run2012C data (4.1 fb$^{-1}$).
533     In both periods we observe good agreement between the data and predicted background over the full \MET\ range.
534     In the \MET\ $>$ 150 GeV region corresponding to the high \MET\ signal region in the full sample, we observe 167 events with a predicted
535     background of $177\pm25$ events, representing a deficit of -0.4$\sigma$.

905     Given a prediction for the Z background in the Z mass window, we can extrapolate to estimate the low mass $\gamma^*$/Z contribution.
906     We extract the ratio $R_{low/in}$ of low-mass to on-shell Z events from data,
907     correcting for the contribution from flavor-symmetric backgrounds, according to:
908    
909     \begin{equation}
910     R_{low/in} = (N_{SF}^{low}-N_{OF}^{low})/(N_{SF}^{in}-N_{OF}^{in}).
911     \end{equation}
912    
913     Here SF and OF refer to the same-flavor and opposite-flavor data yields in the ``low'' ($15<m_{\ell\ell}<70$ GeV) and ``in''
914     ($81<m_{\ell\ell}<101$ GeV) dilepton mass regions. To predict the low-mass $\gamma^*$/Z contribution, we scale the total predicted
915     Z background by this quantity, which is displayed in Fig.~\ref{fig:Routin}. Here we measure $R_{low/in}$ in several \MET\ regions,
916     and assess the uncertainty based on the variation with respect to \MET.
917     Based on this plot we choose $R_{low/in}=0.08\pm0.02$ for the low \MET\ signal region and $R_{low/in}=0.13\pm0.03$ for the high \MET\ region.
918    
919     \clearpage
920    
921     We find the following results for the first 5.1 fb$^{-1}$. For the low \MET\ signal region, the total predicted Z background in the Z mass region is $39\pm9.6$
922     (sum of the \zjets, WZ+ZZ, and rare SM backgrounds from Table~\ref{tab:results_lowmet}, \MET\ $>$ 100 GeV region),
923     resulting in a $\gamma^*$/Z prediction of $3.1\pm1.1$ events.
924     For the high \MET\ signal region, the total predicted Z background in the Z mass region is $30\pm8.1$
925     (sum of the \zjets, WZ+ZZ, and rare SM backgrounds from Table~\ref{tab:results_highmet}, \MET\ $>$ 150 GeV region),
926     resulting in a $\gamma^*$/Z prediction of $3.8\pm1.4$ events.
927     Hence we summarize the 5.1 fb$^{-1}$ results as:
928    
929     \begin{itemize}
930     \item Low \MET\ signal region
931     \begin{itemize}
932     \item Total predicted background in Z mass region: $138\pm18$ events

945     (sum of the \zjets, WZ+ZZ, and rare SM backgrounds from Table~\ref{tab:results_edgefull}, \MET\ $>$ 100 GeV region),
946     resulting in a $\gamma^*$/Z prediction of $5.4\pm1.9$ events.

969     \subsection{Cross-check with single lepton triggers}
970     \label{sec:edge_triggers}
971    
972     The nominal ``edge analysis'' is performed with dilepton triggers. An excess of SF vs. OF events may thus be observed if there
973     were some inefficiency for the e$\mu$ triggers used in this analysis. In this section we provide a cross-check of the nominal
974     analysis by including events collected with single lepton triggers. The relevant triggers are:
975    
976     \begin{itemize}
977    
978     \item ee channel
979     \begin{itemize}
980     \item dilepton: {\footnotesize \verb=HLT_Ele17_CaloIdT_CaloIsoVL_TrkIdVL_TrkIsoVL_Ele8_CaloIdT_CaloIsoVL_TrkIdVL_TrkIsoVL=}
981     \item single lepton: \verb=HLT_Ele27_WP80=
982     \end{itemize}
983    
984     \item $\mu\mu$ channel
985     \begin{itemize}
986     \item dilepton: \verb=HLT_Mu17_Mu8= OR \verb=HLT_Mu17_TkMu8=
987     \item single lepton: \verb=HLT_IsoMu24= OR \verb=HLT_IsoMu24_eta2p1=
988     \end{itemize}
989    
990     \item $e\mu$ channel
991     \begin{itemize}
992     \item dilepton: \verb=HLT_MuX_EleY_CaloIdT_CaloIsoVL_TrkIdVL_TrkIsoVL= (X,Y=17,8 OR 8,17)
993     \item single lepton: \verb=HLT_Ele27_WP80= OR \verb=HLT_IsoMu24= OR \verb=HLT_IsoMu24_eta2p1=

999     In the nominal analysis based on dilepton triggers only, an ee event is required to satisfy the ee dilepton trigger, a $\mu\mu$ event is required to
1000     satisfy one of the two $\mu\mu$ dilepton triggers, and an e$\mu$ event is required to satisfy one of the two e$\mu$ dilepton triggers. Here we compare
1001     the results obtained from the nominal dilepton triggers with those obtained by requiring an OR of the dilepton and single lepton triggers. In this cross-check,
1002     an ee event is required to satisfy the ee dilepton trigger OR single electron trigger, a $\mu\mu$ event is required to
1003     satisfy one of the two $\mu\mu$ dilepton triggers OR one of the two single muon triggers, and an e$\mu$ event is required to satisfy one of the two e$\mu$ dilepton triggers
1004 benhoob 1.2 OR the single electron trigger OR the single muon trigger. The results are summarized in Table~\ref{tab:triggers}. Including the single lepton triggers increases
1005     the yields in the ee, $\mu\mu$ and e$\mu$ final states by (1--7)\%, and does not significantly alter the excess of SF vs. OF data yields.
