67   Conveying additional useful information about the results of
68   a generic ``signature-based'' search such as the one described
# Line 45 | Line 72 | our attempt at doing so.
72   Other models of new physics in the dilepton final state
73   can be confronted in an approximate way by simple
74   generator-level studies that
75 < compare the expected number of events in 35 pb$^{-1}$
75 > compare the expected number of events in 34.0~pb$^{-1}$
76   with our upper limit of 4.1 events.  The key ingredients
77   of such studies are the kinematical cuts described
78   in this note, the lepton efficiencies, and the detector
79   responses for SumJetPt and \met/$\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$.
53 {LOOKING AT THE 38X MC PLOTS BY EYE, THE FOLLOWING QUANTITIES LOOK ABOUT RIGHT.}
80   The muon identification efficiency is $\approx 95\%$;
81   the electron identification efficiency varies from $\approx$ 63\% at
82   $P_T = 10$ GeV to 91\% for $P_T > 30$ GeV.  The isolation
83   efficiency in top events varies from $\approx 83\%$ (muons)
84   and $\approx 89\%$ (electrons) at $P_T=10$ GeV to
85 < $\approx 95\%$ for $P_T>60$ GeV.  
86 < {\bf \color{red} The following quantities were calculated
61 < with Spring10 samples. }
85 > $\approx 95\%$ for $P_T>60$ GeV.

87   The average detector
88   responses for SumJetPt and $\met/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ are
89 < $1.00 \pm 0.05$ and $0.94 \pm 0.05$ respectively, where
89 > $1.02 \pm 0.05$ and $0.94 \pm 0.05$ respectively, where
90   the uncertainties are from the jet energy scale uncertainty.
91 < The experimental resolutions on these quantities are 10\% and
92 < 14\% respectively.
91 > The experimental resolutions on these quantities are 11\% and
92 > 16\% respectively.

94   To justify the statements in the previous paragraph
95   about the detector responses, we plot

103   We find that the average SumJetPt response
104 < in the Monte Carlo is very close to one, with an RMS of order 10\% while
104 > in the Monte Carlo is about 1.02, with an RMS of order 11\% while
105   the response of \met/$\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ is approximately 0.94 with an
106 < RMS of 14\%.
