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.}. |

The data driven background predictions from the ABCD method |
| 19 |
< |
and the $P_T(\ell\ell)$ method are 1.5 $\pm$ 0.9 and |
| 20 |
< |
$1.8^{+2.5}_{-1.8}$ events respectively. |

and the $P_T(\ell\ell)$ method are $1.5 \pm 0.9({\rm stat}) \pm 0.3({\rm syst})$ |
| 20 |

and $4.3 \pm 3.0({\rm stat}) \pm 1.2({\rm syst})$, respectively. |
| 21 |
|
|
| 22 |
|
These three predictions are in good agreement with each other |
| 23 |
|
and with the observation of one event in the signal region. |

We calculate a Bayesian 95\% CL upper limit\cite{ref:bayes.f} |
| 25 |
|
on the number of non SM events in the signal region to be 4.1. |
| 26 |
< |
This was calculated using a background prediction of $N_{BG}=1.4 \pm 1.0$ |
| 26 |
> |
We have also calculated this limit using a profile likelihood method |
| 27 |
> |
as implemented in the cl95cms software, and we also find 4.1. |
| 28 |
> |
These limits were calculated using a background prediction of $N_{BG}=1.7 \pm 1.1$ |
| 29 |
|
events. The upper limit is not very sensitive to the choice of |
| 30 |
|
$N_{BG}$ and its uncertainty. |
| 31 |
|
|
| 32 |
|
To get a feeling for the sensitivity of this search to some |
| 33 |
|
popular SUSY models, we remind the reader of the number of expected |
| 34 |
< |
LM0 and LM1 events from Table~\ref{tab:sigcontABCD}: $5.6 \pm 1.1$ |
| 35 |
< |
events and $2.2 \pm 0.3$ respectively, where the uncertainties |
| 34 |

LM0 and LM1 events from Table~\ref{tab:sigcont}: $6.3 \pm 1.3$ |
| 35 |

events and $2.6 \pm 0.4$ |
| 36 |
> |
respectively, where the uncertainties |
| 37 |
|
are from energy scale (Section~\ref{sec:systematics}), luminosity, |
| 38 |
< |
and lepton efficiency. |
| 38 |
> |
and lepton efficiency. Note that these expected SUSY yields |
| 39 |
> |
are computed using LO cross-sections, and are therefore underestimated. |
| 40 |

In Figures XX and YY we provide the response functions for the |
| 42 |
< |
SumJetPt and \met/$\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ cuts used in our analysis, |
| 43 |
< |
{\em i.e.} the efficiencies of the experimental cuts as a function of |
| 44 |
< |
the true quantities. Using this information as well as the kinematical |
| 45 |
< |
cuts described in Section~\ref{sec:eventSel} and the lepton efficiencies |
| 46 |
< |
of Figures~\ref{fig:effttbar}, one should be able to confront |
| 47 |
< |
any existing or future model via a relatively simple generator |
| 48 |
< |
level study by comparing the expected number of events in 35 pb$^{-1}$ |
| 49 |
< |
with our upper limit of 4.1 events. |

| 42 |

a generic ``signature-based'' search such as the one described |
| 43 |

in this note is a difficult issue. The next paragraph represent |

our attempt at doing so. |

Other models of new physics in the dilepton final state |

generator-level studies that |

compare the expected number of events in 35 pb$^{-1}$ |

with our upper limit of 4.1 events. The key ingredients |

of such studies are the kinematical cuts described |

in this note, the lepton efficiencies, and the detector |

responses for SumJetPt and \met/$\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$. |
