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.}

19 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.

24 \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}.

35 \caption{\label{tab:datayield} Data yields in the four
36 regions of Figure~\ref{fig:abcdData}. The quoted uncertainty
37 on the prediction in data is statistical only, assuming Gaussian errors.

40 \hline
41 &A & B & C & D & AC/B \\ \hline
42 Data &3 & 6 & 1 & 0 & $0.5^{+0.6}_{-0.5}$ \\
43 SM MC &2.5 &11.2 & 1.5 & 0.4 & 0.4 \\

49 %As a cross-check, we can subtract from the yields in
50 %Table~\ref{tab:datayield} the expected DY contributions
51 %from Table~\ref{tab:ABCD-DY} in order to get a ``purer''
52 %estimate of the $t\bar{t}$ contribution. The result
53 %of this exercise is {\color{red} xx} events.

55 \subsection{Background estimate from the $P_T(\ell\ell)$ method}
56 \label{sec:victoryres}
57
58 The number of data events in region $D'$, which is defined in
59 Section~\ref{sec:othBG} to be the same as region $D$ but with the
60 $\met/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ requirement
61 replaced by a $P_T(\ell\ell)/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ requirement
62 is $N_{D'}=1$. Thus the BG prediction is
63 $N_D = K \cdot N_{D'} = 1.5$
64 where $K=1.5 \pm xx$ as derived in Sec.~\ref{sec:victory}.
65 Note that if we were to subtract off from region $D'$
66 the {\color{red} 0.4 $\pm$ 0.4} DY events estimated from
67 Section~\ref{sec:othBG}, the background
68 prediction would change to $N_D=0.9 \pm xx$ events.
69
70 %%%TO BE REPLACED
71 %{\color{red}As mentioned previously, for the 11/pb analysis
72 %we use the $K$ factor from data and take $K=1$.
73 %This will change for the full dataset. We will also pay
74 %more attention to the statistical errors.}
75
76 %The number of data events in region $D'$, which is defined in
77 %Section~\ref{sec:othBG} to be the same as region $D$ but with the
78 %$\met/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ requirement
79 %replaced by a $P_T(\ell\ell)/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ requirement
80 %is $N_{D'}=1$. Thus the BG prediction is
81 %$N_D = K \cdot K_{\rm fudge} \cdot N_{D'} = 1.5$
82 %where we used $K=1.5 \pm xx$ and $K_{\rm fudge}=1.0 \pm 0.0$.
83 %Note that if we were to subtract off from region $D'$
84 %the {\color{red} 0.4 $\pm$ 0.4} DY events estimated from
85 %Section~\ref{sec:othBG}, the background
86 %prediction would change to $N_D=0.9 \pm xx$ events.
87 %{\color{red} When we do this with a real
88 %$K_{\rm fudge}$, the fudge factor will be different
89 %after the DY subtraction.}
90
91 As a cross-check, we use the $P_T(\ell \ell)$
92 method to also predict the number of events in the
93 control region $120<{\rm SumJetPt}<300$ GeV and
94 \met/$\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt} > 8.5$. We predict
95 $5.6^{+x}_{-y}$ events and we observe 4.
96 The results of the $P_T(\ell\ell)$ method are
97 summarized in Figure~\ref{fig:victory}.

107 ${P_T(\ell\ell)}/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ in both MC and data.}

112 \subsection{Summary of results}
113 To summarize: we see no evidence for an anomalous
114 rate of opposite sign isolated dilepton events
115 at high \met and high SumJetPt. The extraction of
116 quantitative limits on new physics models is discussed
117 in Section~\ref{sec:limits}.
