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.

|
Strictly speaking it is impossible to talk about
|
| 10 |
claudioc |
1.8 |
``acceptance and efficiency systematics'' because these kinds of
|
| 11 |
claudioc |
1.1 |
systematics only apply to a well defined final state.
|
| 12 |
claudioc |
1.8 |
Nevertheless, we can make general statements about the
|
| 13 |
|
|
systematic uncertainties, including quantitative
|
| 14 |
|
|
estimates of the systematic uncertainties associated with
|
| 15 |
|
|
a few specific processes.

The systematic uncertainty on the lepton acceptance consists
|
| 18 |
claudioc |
1.1 |
of two parts: the trigger efficiency uncertainty and the
|
| 19 |
|
|
ID and isolation of uncertainty. We discuss these in turn.
|
| 20 |
|
|
|
| 21 |
|
|
The trigger efficiency
|
| 22 |
|
|
for two leptons of $P_T>10$ GeV, with one lepton of
|
| 23 |
|
|
$P_T>20$ GeV is very high, except in some corners
|
| 24 |
|
|
of phase space, see Section~\ref{sec:trgEff}.
|
| 25 |
|
|
We estimate the efficiency uncertainty to be a few percent,
|
| 26 |
|
|
mostly in the low $P_T$ region.

The ID efficiencies in MC are shown in
|
| 59 |
|
|
Figures~\ref{fig:effttbar}
|
| 60 |
|
|
for the leptons from $t \to W \to \ell$ and $t \to W \to \tau \to \ell$.

Tag and probe studies show that these are correct to about 2\%,
|
| 62 |
|
|
see Table~\ref{tab:tagandprobe}.
|
| 63 |
|
|
Note that the isolation efficiency depends on the jet activity in
|
| 64 |
claudioc |
1.1 |
the final state. For example, in MC we find that the
|
| 65 |
|
|
lepton isolation efficiency differs by $\approx 4\%$
|
| 66 |
|
|
{\bf per lepton} between $Z$ events and $t\bar{t}$ events\cite{ref:top}.

Another significant source of systematic uncertainty is
|
| 71 |
|
|
associated with the jet and $\met$ energy scale. The impact
|
| 72 |
claudioc |
1.8 |
of this uncertainty is final-state dependent. Final
|
| 73 |
|
|
states characterized by lots of hadronic activity and \met are
|
| 74 |
claudioc |
1.1 |
less sensitive than final states where the \met and SumJetPt
|
| 75 |
|
|
are typically close to the requirement. To be more quantitative,
|
| 76 |
|
|
we have used the method of Reference~\cite{ref:top} to evaluate
|
| 77 |
|
|
the systematic uncertainties on the acceptance for $t\bar{t}$
|
| 78 |
|
|
and two benchmark SUSY points. The uncertainties are calculated
|
| 79 |
|
|
assuming a 5\% uncertainty to the hadronic energy scale in CMS.
|
| 80 |
|
|
|
| 81 |
claudioc |
1.6 |
For $t\bar{t}$ we find uncertainties of 8\% (baseline
|
| 82 |
claudioc |
1.5 |
selection) and 30\% (signal region D); for LM0 and LM1 we find
|
| 83 |
claudioc |
1.6 |
14\% and 6\% respectively for signal region D. |
