15 The data, together with SM expectations is presented
16 in Figure~\ref{fig:abcdData}. We see 1 event in the
17 signal region (region $D$). The Standard Model MC
18 expectation is 1.4 events.

23 The data yields in the
24 four regions are summarized in Table~\ref{tab:datayield}.
25 The prediction of the ABCD method is is given by $A\times C/B$ and
26 is 1.5 $\pm$ 0.9 events (statistical uncertainty only, assuming
27 Gaussian errors), as shown in Table~\ref{tab:datayield}.

58 %As a cross-check, we can subtract from the yields in
59 %Table~\ref{tab:datayield} the expected DY contributions
60 %from Table~\ref{tab:ABCD-DY} in order to get a ``purer''
61 %estimate of the $t\bar{t}$ contribution. The result
62 %of this exercise is {\color{red} xx} events.

66 \subsection{Background estimate from the $P_T(\ell\ell)$ method}
67 \label{sec:victoryres}
68
69 We first use the $P_T(\ell \ell)$ method to predict the number of events
70 in control region A, defined in Sec.~\ref{sec:abcd} as
71 $125<{\rm SumJetPt}>300$~GeV and $\met/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}>$8.5.
72 We count the number of events in region
73 $A'$, defined in Sec.~\ref{sec:othBG} by replacing the above $\met/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$
74 cut with the same cut on the quantity $P_T(\ell\ell)/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$,
75 and find $N_{A'}=6$. To predict the yield in region A we take
76 $N_A = K \cdot K_C \cdot N_{A'} = 10.4 \pm 4.2$
77 (statistical uncertainty only, assuming Gaussian errors),
78 where we have taken $K = 1.73$ and $K_C = 1$. This yield is in good
79 agreement with the observed yield of 11 events, as shown in
80 Table~\ref{tab:victory_control} and displayed in Fig.~\ref{fig:victory} (left).
81
82 Encouraged by the good agreement between predicted and observed yields
83 in the control region, we proceed to perform the $P_T(\ell \ell)$ method
84 in the signal region ${\rm SumJetPt}>300$~GeV.
85 The number of data events in region $D'$, which is defined in
86 Section~\ref{sec:othBG} to be the same as region $D$ but with the
87 $\met/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ requirement
88 replaced by a $P_T(\ell\ell)/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ requirement,
89 is $N_{D'}=2$.
90 We next subtract off the expected DY contribution of
91 $N_{DY}$ = $0.4 \pm 0.4$ events, as calculated
92 in Sec.~\ref{sec:othBG}. The BG prediction is
93 $N_D = K \cdot K_C \cdot (N_{D'}-N_{DY}) = 2.5 \pm 2.2$ (statistical
94 uncertainty only, assuming Gaussian errors), where $K=1.54 \pm xx$
95 as derived in Sec.~\ref{sec:victory} and $K_C = 1$.
96 This prediction is consistent with the observed yield of
97 1 event, as summarized in Table~\ref{tab:victory_signal} and Fig.~\ref{fig:victory}
98 (right).

152 \subsection{Summary of results}
153 To summarize: we see no evidence for an anomalous
154 rate of opposite sign isolated dilepton events
155 at high \met and high SumJetPt. The extraction of
156 quantitative limits on new physics models is discussed
157 in Section~\ref{sec:limit}.
