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 largest discrepancy between prediction and observation occurs on the first |
| 261 |
|
line of Table~\ref{tab:victorybad}, {\em i.e.}, at the generator level with no |
| 262 |
|
cuts. We have verified that this effect is due to the polarization of |

We have studied this effect at the generator level using Alpgen. We find |

naive data driven background estimate based on $P_T{(\ell\ell)}$ needs to |
| 284 |

be corrected by a factor of $ K_C = X \pm Y$. |
| 211 |
< |
The value of this correction factor as well as the systematic uncertainty |
| 212 |
< |
will be assessed using 38X ttbar madgraph MC. In the following we use |
| 213 |
< |
$K_C = 1$ for simplicity. Based on previous MC studies we foresee a correction |
| 214 |
< |
factor of $K_C \approx 1.2 - 1.5$, and we will assess an uncertainty |
| 215 |
< |
based on the stability of the Monte Carlo tests under |
| 216 |

variations of event selections, choices of \met algorithm, etc. |
| 217 |

be corrected by a factor of $ K_C = 1.4 \pm 0.2(stat)$. |
| 285 |
|
|
| 286 |
+ |
The 2 dominant sources of systematic uncertainty in $K_C$ are due to non-$t\bar{t} \to$~dilepton backgrounds, |
| 287 |
+ |
and the MET scale and resolution uncertainties. The impact of non-$t\bar{t}$-dilepton background is assessed |
| 288 |
+ |
by varying the yield of all backgrounds except for $t\bar{t} \to$~dilepton, as shown in Table~\ref{table_kc}. |
| 289 |
+ |
The systematic is assessed as the larger of the differences between the nominal $K_C$ value and the values |
| 290 |
+ |
obtained using only $t\bar{t} \to$~dilepton MC and obtained by doubling the non $t\bar{t} \to$~dilepton component, |
| 291 |
+ |
giving an uncertainty of $0.04$. |
| 292 |
+ |
|
| 293 |
+ |
The uncertainty in $K_C$ due to the MET scale uncertainty is assessed by varying the hadronic energy scale using |
| 294 |
+ |
the same method as in~\ref{} and checking how much $K_C$ changes, as summarized in Table~\ref{tab:victorysyst}. |
| 295 |
+ |
This gives an uncertainty of 0.3. We also assess the impact of the MET resolution uncertainty on $K_C$ by applying |
| 296 |
+ |
a random smearing to the MET. For each event, we determine the expected MET resolution based on the sumJetPt, and |
| 297 |
+ |
smear the MET to simulate an increase in the resolution of 10\%, 20\%, 30\%, 40\% and 50\%. The results show that |
| 298 |
+ |
$K_C$ does not depend strongly on the MET resolution and we therefore do not assess any uncertainty. |
| 299 |
|
|
| 300 |
+ |
Incorporating all the statistical and systematic uncertainties we find $K_C = 1.4 \pm 0.4$. |
