+\label{sec:limnumevents}
+As discussed in Section~\ref{sec:results}, we see one event
+in the signal region, defined as SumJetPt$>$300 GeV and
+\met/$\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}>8.5$ GeV$^{\frac{1}{2}}$.
+and with the observation of one event in the signal region.
+We calculate a Bayesian 95\% CL upper limit\cite{ref:bayes.f}
+on the number of non SM events in the signal region to be 4.1.

+These limits were calculated using a background prediction of $N_{BG} = 1.4 \pm 0.8$
+events, the error-weighted average of the ABCD and $P_T(\ell\ell)$ background
+predictions.  The upper limit is not very sensitive to the choice of

+and lepton efficiency.

+sign of $\mu = +$, $A_{0}=0$~GeV, and scan the $m_{0}$ and $m_{1/2}$ parameters

+in steps of 10~GeV. For each scan point, we exclude the point if the expected

+Models of new physics in the dilepton final state

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

+The muon identification efficiency is $\approx 95\%$;

+\subsection{mSUGRA scan}
-+
+\label{sec:mSUGRA}
-+
+We also perform a scan of the mSUGRA parameter space, as recomended
-+
+by the SUSY group convenors\cite{ref:scan}.
-+
+The goal of the scan is to determine an exclusion region in the
-+
+$m_0$ vs. $m_{1/2}$ plane for
-+
+$\tan\beta=3$,
-+
+sign of $\mu = +$, and $A_{0}=0$~GeV.  This scan is based on events
-+
+generated with FastSim.
-+
-+
+The first order of business is to verify that results using
-+
+Fastsim and Fullsim are compatible.  To this end we compare the
-+
+expected yield for the LM1 point in FullSim (3.56 $\pm$ 0.06) and
-+
+FastSim (3.29 $\pm$ 0.27), where the uncertainties are statistical only.
-+
+These two numbers are in agreement, which gives us confidence in
-+
+using FastSim for this study.
-+
-+
+The FastSim events are generated with different values of $m_0$
-+
+and $m_{1/2}$ in steps of 10 GeV.  For each point in the
-+
+$m_0$ vs. $m_{1/2}$ plane, we compute the expected number of
-+
+events at NLO.  We then also calculate an upper limit $N_{UL}$
-+
+using cl95cms at each point using the following inputs:
-+
+\begin{itemize}
-+
+\item Number of BG events = 1.40 $\pm$ 0.77
-+
+\item Luminosity uncertainty = 11\%
-+
+\item The acceptance uncertainty is calculated at each point
-+
+as the quadrature sum of
-+
+\begin{itemize}
-+
+\item The uncertainty due to JES for that point, as calculated
-+
+using the method described in Section~\ref{sec:systematics}
-+
+\item A 5\% uncertainty due to lepton efficiencies
-+
+\item An uncertaity on the NLO cross-section obtained by varying the
-+
+factorization and renormalization scale by a factor of two\cite{ref:sanjay}.
-+
+\item The PDF uncertainty on the product of cross-section and acceptance
-+
+calculated using the method of Reference~\cite{ref:pdf}.
-+
+\end{itemize}
-+
+\item We use the ``log-normal'' model for the nuisance parameters
-+
+in cl95cms
-+
+\end{itemize}
-+
-+
+An mSUGRA point is excluded if the resulting $N_{UL}$ is smaller
-+
+than the expected number of events.  Because of the quantization
-+
+of the available MC points in the $m_0$ vs $m_{1/2}$ plane, the
-+
+boundaries of the excluded region are also quantized.  We smooth
-+
+the boundaries using the method recommended by the SUSY
-+
+group\cite{ref:smooth}.  In addition, we show a limit
-+
+curve based on the LO cross-section, as well as the
-+
+``expected'' limit curve.  The expected limit curve is
-+
+calculated using the CLA function also available in cl95cms.
-+
+Cross-section uncertainties due to variations of the factorization
-+
+and renormalization scale are not included for the LO curve.
-+
+The results are shown in Figure~\ref{fig:msugra}

-+
-+
-+
+\subsubsection{Check of the nuisance parameter models}
-+
+We repeat the procedure outlined above but changing the
-+
+lognormal nuisance parameter model to a gaussian or
-+
+gamma-function model.  The results are shown in
-+
+Figure~\ref{fig:nuisance}.  (In this case,
-+
+to avoid smoothing artifacts, we
-+
+show the raw results, without smoothing).

-+
+\end{center}

-+
-+
+We find that different assumptions on the PDFs for the nuisance
-+
+parameters make very small differences to the set of excluded
-+
+points.
-+
+Following the recommendation of Reference~\cite{ref:cousins},
-+
+we use the lognormal nuisance parameter model as the default.

+\subsubsection{Effect of signal contamination}
-+
+\label{sec:contlimit}
-+
-+
+Signal contamination could affect the limit by inflating the
-+
+background expectation.  In our case we see no evidence of signal
-+
+contamination, within statistics.
-+
+The yields in the control regions
-+
+$A$, $B$, and $C$ (Table~\ref{tab:datayield}) are just
-+
+as expected in the SM, and the check
-+
+of the $P_T(\ell \ell)$ method in the control region is
-+
+also consistent with expectations (Table~\ref{tab:victory}).
-+
+Since we have two data driven methods, with different
-+
+signal contamination issues, giving consistent
-+
+results that are in agreement with the SM, we
-+
+argue for not making any correction to our procedure
-+
+because of signal contamination.  In some sense this would
-+
+be equivalent to using the SM background prediction, and using
-+
+the data driven methods as confirmations of that prediction.
-+
-+
+Nevertheless, here we explore the possible effect of
-+
+signal contamination.  The procedure suggested to us
-+
+for the ABCD method is to modify the
-+
+ABCD background prediction from $A_D \cdot C_D/B_D$ to
-+
+$(A_D-A_S) \cdot (C_D-C_S) / (B_D - B_S)$, where the
-+
+subscripts $D$ and $S$ refer to the number of observed data
-+
+events and expected SUSY events, respectively, in a given region.
-+
+We then recalculate $N_{UL}$ at each point using this modified
-+
+ABCD background estimation.  For simplicity we ignore
-+
+information from the $P_T(\ell \ell)$
-+
+background estimation.  This is conservative, since
-+
+the $P_T(\ell\ell)$ background estimation happens to
-+
+be numerically larger than the one from ABCD.
-+
-+
+Note, however, that in some cases this procedure is
-+
+nonsensical.  For example, take LM0 as a SUSY
-+
+point.  In region $C$ we have a SM prediction of 5.1
-+
+events and $C_D = 4$ in agreement with the Standard Model,
-+
+see Table~\ref{tab:datayield}.  From the LM0 Monte Carlo,
-+
+we find $C_S = 8.6$ events.   Thus, including information
-+
+on $C_D$ and $C_S$ should {\bf strengthen} the limit, since there
-+
+is clearly a deficit of events in the $C$ region in the
-+
+LM0 hypothesis.  Instead, we now get a negative ABCD
-+
+BG prediction (which is nonsense, so we set it to zero),
-+
+and therefore a weaker limit.

-+
-+
+A comparison of the exclusion region with and without
-+
+signal contamination is shown in Figure~\ref{fig:sigcont}

-+
+small, of the same order as the quantization of the scan.
