The systematic uncertainty on the lepton acceptance consists |
| 18 |
|
of two parts: the trigger efficiency uncertainty and the |
| 64 |
|
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 |

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

states characterized by lots of hadronic activity and \met are |
| 74 |
|
less sensitive than final states where the \met and SumJetPt |
| 75 |

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

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