\noindent {\color{red} In the 11 pb everything is very
|
| 5 |
simple because there are a few zeros. This text is written
|
| 6 |
for the full dataset under the assumption that some of these
|
| 7 |
numbers will not be zero anymore.}

The data, together with SM expectations is presented
|
| 20 |
in Figure~\ref{fig:abcdData}. We see $\color{red} 0$
|
| 21 |
events in the signal region (region $D$). The Standard Model
|
| 22 |
MC expectation is {\color{red} 0.4} events.

\subsection{Background estimate from the ABCD method}
|
| 25 |
\label{sec:abcdres}
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
The data yields in the
|
| 28 |
four regions are summarized in Table~\ref{tab:datayield}.
|
| 29 |
The prediction of the ABCD method is is given by $AC/B$ and
|
| 30 |
is 0.5 events.
|
| 31 |
(see Table~\ref{tab:datayield}.

|
| 36 |
regions of Figure~\ref{fig:abcdData}. We also show the
|

SM Monte Carlo expectations.}

Data &3 & 6 & 1 & 0 & $0.5^{+x}_{-y}$ \\

\end{table}
|

|

As a cross-check, we can subtract from the yields in
|
| 49 |
Table~\ref{tab:datayield} the expected DY contributions
|
| 50 |
from Table~\ref{tab:ABCD-DY} in order to get a ``purer''
|
| 51 |
estimate of the $t\bar{t}$ contribution. The result
|
| 52 |
of this exercise is {\color{red} xx} events.
|
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
\subsection{Background estimate from the $P_T(\ell\ell)$ method}
|
| 55 |
\label{sec:victoryres}
|
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
The number of data events in region $D'$, which is defined in
|
| 60 |
Section~\ref{sec:othBG} to be the same as region $D$ but with the
|
| 61 |
$\met/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ requirement
|
| 62 |
replaced by a $P_T(\ell\ell)/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ requirement
|
| 63 |
is $N_{D'}=0$. Thus the BG prediction is
|
| 64 |
$N_D = K^{MC} \cdot K_{\rm fudge} \cdot N_{D'} = xx$
|
| 65 |
where we used $K^{MC}=xx$ and $K_{\rm fudge}=xx \pm yy$.
|
| 66 |
Note that if we were to subtract off from region $D'$
|
| 67 |
the {\color{red} $xx$} DY events estimated from
|
| 68 |
Table~\ref{tab:ABCD-DYptll}, the background
|
| 69 |
prediction would change to $N_D=xx$.
|
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
As a cross-check, we use the $P_T(\ell \ell)$
|
| 72 |
method to also predict the number of events in the
|
| 73 |
control region $120<{\rm SumJetPt}<300$ GeV and
|
| 74 |
\met/$\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt} > 8.5$. We predict
|
| 75 |
$5.6^{+x}_{-y}$ events and we observe 4.
|
| 76 |
{\color{red} Note: when we do this more carefully
|
| 77 |
we will need to use a different $K$ and a different $K_{fudge}$>}
|
| 78 |
|
| 79 |
To summarize: we see no evidence for an anomalous
|
| 80 |
rate of opposite sign isolated dilepton events
|
| 81 |
at high \met and high SumJetPt. The extraction of
|
| 82 |
quantitative limits on new physics models is discussed
|
| 83 |
in Section~\ref{sec:limits}. |
