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

|
in the signal region, defined as SumJetPt$>$300 GeV and |
| 31 |
|
LM0 and LM1 events from Table~\ref{tab:sigcont}: $6.5 \pm 1.3$ |
| 32 |
|
events and $2.6 \pm 0.4$ respectively, where the uncertainties |
| 33 |
|
are from energy scale (Section~\ref{sec:systematics}), luminosity, |
| 34 |

and lepton efficiency. |

generator-level studies that |

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

the electron identification efficiency varies from $\approx$ 63\% at |

$P_T = 10$ GeV to 91\% for $P_T > 30$ GeV. The isolation |

and $\approx 89\%$ (electrons) at $P_T=10$ GeV to |

$\approx 95\%$ for $P_T>60$ GeV. The average detector |

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

$1.00 \pm 0.05$ and $0.94 \pm 0.05$ respectively, where |
| 58 |

the uncertainties are from the jet energy scale uncertainty. |

14\% respectively. |

in Figure~\ref{fig:response} the average response for |

SumJetPt and \met/$\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ in MC, as well as the |

efficiency for the cuts on these quantities used in defining the |

We find that the average SumJetPt response |

is very close to one, with an RMS of order 10\% while |

the |
