We select events with two opposite sign, well-identified and isolated |
| 11 |
|
leptons ($ee$, $e\mu$, or $\mu\mu$); one of the leptons must |
| 12 |
|
have $P_T > 20$ GeV, |
| 13 |
< |
the other one must have $P_T > 10$ GeV. Events consistent with $Z$ are rejected. |

In case of events with |
| 16 |
|
more than two such leptons, we select the pair that maximizes the scalar |
| 17 |
|
sum of lepton $P_T$'s. |
