The systematic uncertainty on the lepton acceptance consists |
| 18 |
|
of two parts: the trigger efficiency uncertainty and the |

Identification and isolation efficiencies for |

leptons from $t \to W \to \ell$ and |

the final state. For example, in MC we find that the |

lepton isolation efficiency differs by $\approx 4\%$ |
| 67 |

{\bf per lepton} between $Z$ events and $t\bar{t}$ events\cite{ref:top}. |

Another significant source of systematic uncertainty is |
| 72 |
|
associated with the jet and $\met$ energy scale. The impact |
| 73 |

of this uncertainty is very final-state dependent. Final |

states characterized by lots of hadronic activity and \met are much |

states characterized by lots of hadronic activity and \met are |

less sensitive than final states where the \met and SumJetPt |

are typically close to the requirement. To be more quantitative, |

we have used the method of Reference~\cite{ref:top} to evaluate |
