We have developed two data-driven methods to |
| 4 |
|
estimate the background in the signal region. |
| 5 |
|
The first one exploits the fact that |
| 6 |
< |
\met and \met$/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ are nearly |
| 6 |
> |
SumJetPt and \met$/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ are nearly |
| 7 |
|
uncorrelated for the $t\bar{t}$ background |
| 8 |
|
(Section~\ref{sec:abcd}); the second one |
| 9 |
|
is based on the fact that in $t\bar{t}$ the |
| 21 |
|
\subsection{ABCD method} |
| 22 |
|
\label{sec:abcd} |
| 23 |
|
|
| 24 |
< |
We find that in $t\bar{t}$ events \met and |
| 24 |
> |
We find that in $t\bar{t}$ events SumJetPt and |
| 25 |
|
\met$/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ are nearly uncorrelated, |
| 26 |
|
as demonstrated in Figure~\ref{fig:uncor}. |
| 27 |
|
Thus, we can use an ABCD method in the \met$/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ vs |
| 28 |
|
sumJetPt plane to estimate the background in a data driven way. |

The signal region is region D. The expected number of events |

|
in the four regions for the SM Monte Carlo, as well as the BG |
| 61 |
|
prediction AC/B are given in Table~\ref{tab:abcdMC} for an integrated |
| 62 |

luminosity of 35 pb$^{-1}$. The ABCD method is accurate |

to about 20\%. |
| 62 |

luminosity of 35 pb$^{-1}$. The ABCD method with chosen boundaries is accurate |

to about 20\%. As shown in Table~\ref{tab:abcdsyst}, we assess systematic uncertainties |
| 64 |

by varying the boundaries by an amount consistent with the hadronic energy scale uncertainty, |

which we take as $\pm$5\% for SumJetPt and $\pm$2.5\% for MET/$\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$, since the |
| 66 |

uncertainty on this quantity partially cancels due to the fact that it is a ratio of correlated |

quantities. Based on these studies we assess a correction factor $k_{ABCD} = 1.2 \pm 0.2$ to the |

predicted yield using the ABCD method. |

\subsection{Dilepton $P_T$ method} |
| 127 |
|
\label{sec:victory} |
| 128 |
|
This method is based on a suggestion by V. Pavlunin\cite{ref:victory}, |
| 164 |
|
$P_T(\ell\ell)$: |
| 165 |
|
\begin{itemize} |
| 166 |
|
\item $Ws$ in top events are polarized. Neutrinos are emitted preferentially |
| 167 |
< |
forward in the $W$ rest frame, thus the $P_T(\nu\nu)$ distribution is harder |
| 167 |
> |
parallel to the $W$ velocity while charged leptons are emitted prefertially |
| 168 |
> |
anti-parallel. Thus the $P_T(\nu\nu)$ distribution is harder |
| 169 |
|
than the $P_T(\ell\ell)$ distribution for top dilepton events. |
| 170 |
|
\item The lepton selections results in $P_T$ and $\eta$ cuts on the individual |
| 171 |
|
leptons that have no simple correspondance to the neutrino requirements. |
