As discussed in Section~\ref{sec:results}, we see one event |
| 7 |

in the signal region, defined as SumJetPt$>$300 GeV and |
| 8 |
> |
\met/$\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}>8.5$ GeV$^{\frac{1}{2}}$. |

The background prediction from the SM Monte Carlo is |
| 11 |
> |
1.4 $\pm$ 0.5 events, where the uncertainty comes from |
| 12 |

the jet energy scale (30\%, see Section~\ref{sec:systematics}), |
| 13 |
> |
the luminosity (10\%), and the lepton/trigger |
| 14 |
> |
efficiency (10\%)\footnote{Other uncertainties associated with |
| 15 |
> |
the modeling of $t\bar{t}$ in MadGraph have not been evaluated.}. |
| 16 |

The data driven background predictions from the ABCD method |
| 17 |
> |
and the $P_T(\ell\ell)$ method are 1.5 $\pm$ 0.9 and |
| 18 |
> |
$2.5 \pm 2.2$ events, respectively. |
| 19 |

|
| 20 |

These three predictions are in good agreement with each other |
| 21 |

and with the observation of one event in the signal region. |
| 22 |

We calculate a Bayesian 95\% CL upper limit\cite{ref:bayes.f} |
| 23 |
> |
on the number of non SM events in the signal region to be 4.1. |
| 24 |

This was calculated using a background prediction of $N_{BG}=1.4 \pm 1.1$ |
| 25 |
> |
events. The upper limit is not very sensitive to the choice of |
| 26 |
> |
$N_{BG}$ and its uncertainty. |
| 27 |

|
| 28 |

To get a feeling for the sensitivity of this search to some |
| 29 |
> |
popular SUSY models, we remind the reader of the number of expected |
| 30 |
> |
LM0 and LM1 events from Table~\ref{tab:sigcont}: $6.5 \pm 1.3$ |
| 31 |
> |
events and $2.6 \pm 0.4$ respectively, where the uncertainties |
| 32 |
> |
are from energy scale (Section~\ref{sec:systematics}), luminosity, |
| 33 |
> |
and lepton efficiency. |

In Figures XX and YY we provide the response functions for the |
| 36 |
> |
SumJetPt and \met/$\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ cuts used in our analysis, |
| 37 |
> |
{\em i.e.} the efficiencies of the experimental cuts as a function of |
| 38 |
> |
the true quantities. Using this information as well as the kinematical |
| 39 |
> |
cuts described in Section~\ref{sec:eventSel} and the lepton efficiencies |
| 40 |
> |
of Figures~\ref{fig:effttbar}, one should be able to confront |
| 41 |
> |
any existing or future model via a relatively simple generator |
| 42 |
> |
level study by comparing the expected number of events in 35 pb$^{-1}$ |
| 43 |
> |
with our upper limit of 4.1 events. |
