1 claudioc 1.1 \section{Acceptance systematics}
2     \label{sec:systematics}
3    
4     This is a search for new physics contributions to
5     events with high \met and lots of jet activity.
6     As seen in Section~\ref{sec:results}, there is no
7     evidence for a contribution beyond SM expectations.
8    
9     Strictly speaking it is impossible to talk about
10     ``acceptance systematics'' because these kinds of
11     systematics only apply to a well defined final state.
12 claudioc 1.2 Nevertheless, we can at least make some qualitative
13 claudioc 1.1 statements.
14    
15 benhoob 1.4 The systematic uncertainty on the lepton acceptance consists
16 claudioc 1.1 of two parts: the trigger efficiency uncertainty and the
17     ID and isolation of uncertainty. We discuss these in turn.
18    
19     The trigger efficiency
20     for two leptons of $P_T>10$ GeV, with one lepton of
21     $P_T>20$ GeV is very high, except in some corners
22     of phase space, see Section~\ref{sec:trgEff}.
23     We estimate the efficiency uncertainty to be a few percent,
24     mostly in the low $P_T$ region.
25

30     Identification and isolation efficiencies for
31     leptons from $t \to W \to \ell$ and
32     $t \to W \to \tau \to \ell$ in
33     $t\bar{t}$ events.}

37    
38     The ID efficiencies in MC are shown in
39     Figures~\ref{fig:effttbar}
40     for the leptons from $t \to W \to \ell$ and $t \to W \to \tau \to \ell$.
41 claudioc 1.1 Tag and probe studies show that these are correct to about
42     {\color{red} xx\%. (We need to do tag-and-probe on the full sample,
43     see what we get, and write text accordingly).}
44    
45     The isolation efficiency depends on the jet activity in
46     the final state. For example, in MC we find that the
47     lepton isolation efficiency differs by $\approx 4\%$
48     {\bf per lepton} between $Z$ events and $t\bar{t}$ events\cite{ref:top}.
49    
50     Another significant source of systematic uncertainty is
51     associated with the jet and $\met$ energy scale. The impact
52     of this uncertainty is very final-state dependent. Final
53     states characterized by lots of hadronic activity and \met are much
54     less sensitive than final states where the \met and SumJetPt
55     are typically close to the requirement. To be more quantitative,
56     we have used the method of Reference~\cite{ref:top} to evaluate
57     the systematic uncertainties on the acceptance for $t\bar{t}$
58     and two benchmark SUSY points. The uncertainties are calculated
59     assuming a 5\% uncertainty to the hadronic energy scale in CMS.
60    
61 claudioc 1.5 {\color{red} For $t\bar{t}$ we find uncertainties of 8\% (baseline
62     selection) and 30\% (signal region D); for LM0 and LM1 we find
63     14\% and 6\% respectively for signal region D.}
