\section{Definition of the signal region}

\label{sec:sigregion}

We define a signal region to look for possible
|
| 5 |
|
|
new physics contributions in the opposite sign isolated
|
| 6 |
|
|
dilepton sample. The choice of signal region is driven by
|
| 7 |
|
|
three observations:
|
| 8 |
|
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
| 9 |
benhoob |
1.3 |
\item astrophysical evidence for dark matter suggests that
|
| 10 |
claudioc |
1.1 |
we concentrate on the region of high \met;
|
| 11 |
|
|
\item new physics signals should have high $\sqrt{\hat{s}}$;
|
| 12 |
|
|
\item observable high cross section new physics signals
|
| 13 |
|
|
are likely to be produced strongly; thus, we expect significant
|
| 14 |
|
|
hadronic activity in conjunction with the two leptons.
|
| 15 |
|
|
\end{enumerate}
|
| 16 |
|
|
|
| 17 |
|
|
Following these observations, we add the following two requirements
|
| 18 |
|
|
to the preselection of Section~\ref{sec:eventSel}:
|
| 19 |
|
|
\begin{center}
|
| 20 |
benhoob |
1.3 |
$\mathrm{SumJetPt}>300$~GeV and $\met/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt} > 8.5$~GeV$^{1/2}$.
|
| 21 |
claudioc |
1.1 |
\end{center}
|
| 22 |
|
|
|
| 23 |
|
|
\noindent This selection preserves about 1\% of the $t\bar{t}$
|
| 24 |
benhoob |
1.8 |
signal. As shown in Table~\ref{tab:sigyield}, the expected total SM yield in 34.0~pb$^{-1}$ is 1.3 events,
|
| 25 |
|
|
while the expectations from the LMO and LM1 SUSY benchmark points are 8.6 and
|
| 26 |
|
|
3.6 events, respectively, computed at NLO.
|
| 27 |
benhoob |
1.2 |
|
| 28 |
|
|
|
| 29 |
|
|
We cut on \met$/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ rather than \met
|
| 30 |
benhoob |
1.3 |
because the variables SumJetPt and \met$/\sqrt{\rm SumJetPt}$ are
|
| 31 |
claudioc |
1.1 |
largely uncorrelated for the dominant $t\bar{t}$ background.
|
| 32 |
|
|
This allows us to use a data driven ABCD method to estimate the
|
| 33 |
|
|
background (see Section~\ref{sec:abcd}).
