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 |

> |
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 |
| 25 |
< |
\met$/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ are nearly uncorrelated. |
| 26 |
< |
This is demonstrated in Figure~\ref{fig:uncor}. |

|
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. |

to account for the fact that any dilepton selection must include a |

\begin{itemize} |
| 123 |

\item $Ws$ in top events are polarized. Neutrinos are emitted preferentially |

forward in the $W$ rest frame, thus the $P_T(\nu\nu)$ distribution is harder |

parallel to the $W$ velocity while charged leptons are emitted prefertially |

anti-parallel. Thus the $P_T(\nu\nu)$ distribution is harder |
| 126 |
|
than the $P_T(\ell\ell)$ distribution for top dilepton events. |
| 127 |
|
\item The lepton selections results in $P_T$ and $\eta$ cuts on the individual |
| 128 |
|
leptons that have no simple correspondance to the neutrino requirements. |
| 129 |
|
\item Similarly, the \met$>$50 GeV cut introduces an asymmetry between leptons and |
| 130 |
|
neutrinos which is only partially compensated by the $K$ factor above. |
| 131 |

\item The \met resolution is much worse than the dilepton $P_T$ resolution. |

When convoluted with a falling spectrum in the tails of \met, this results |

sources. These events can affect the background prediction. Particularly |
| 141 |
|
dangerous are high $P_T$ Drell Yan events that barely pass the \met$>$ 50 |

Therefore we estimate the number of DY events entering the background prediction |

using the $R_{out/in}$ method as described in Sec.~\ref{sec:othBG}. |

An additional source of concern is that the CMS Madgraph $t\bar{t}$ MC does |

not include effects of spin correlations between the two top quarks. |
