4 In this note we describe a first study of isolated same sign (SS)
5 and opposite sign (OS) low $P_T$ ($P_T > 10$ GeV)
6 dileptons (e or $\mu$)
7 in 7 TeV collision data. Our goal is to understand this
8 data sample as a first step towards a top cross-section
9 analysis~\cite{ref:topdil2009}, a $WW$ cross-section
10 analysis~\cite{ref:WW}, as well as SS and OS SUSY
11 searches\cite{ref:OSSusy}\cite{ref:SSSusy}.

13 With a 10 GeV $P_T$ threshold, the data sample is dominated by QCD
14 backgrounds and Drell-Yan events. We compare the observed yields
15 with predictions from Monte Carlo. In the case of QCD, we use
16 the Fake Rate method to predict its rate in a data driven way.
17 With the present luminosity, there is not enough statistics to
18 study kinematical distributions.

20 This note is organized as follows. In Section~\ref{sec:datasets}
21 we list the datasets used; the lepton identification criteria
22 and the general event selection requirements
23 are given in Section~\ref{sec:selection}; the event data yields are
24 compared with Monte Carlo expectations in Section~\ref{sec:yields};
25 the FR method is reviewed in Section~\ref{sec:FR}; the FR is tested
26 in an enriched Heavy Flavor sample in Section~\ref{sec:btag};
27 finally, the application
28 of the FR method to the dilepton sample
29 is summarized in Section~\ref{sec:FRapply}.

31 {\color{blue} This document was originally based on $\approx$ 10
32 nb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. It has now been partially
33 updated to higher luminosity for ICHEP. We only update the
34 SS sign results becuse these are the ones that are relevant
35 for the SUSY ICHEP PAS (SUS-10-001). Furthermore the OS results are
36 less relevant for the ``Fake Rate'' studies because of the
37 large Drell-Yan contribution. A more complete study of the
38 OS sample is documented in our top-dilepton analysis note (AN 2010-193)
39 and the top ICHEP PAS (TOP-10-04).

41 Following instructions
42 from the SUSY convenors, we leave the old results in the
43 document. To facilitate reading, the document is color coded:
44 \begin{itemize}
45 \item everything in blue is new
46 \item everything in {\color{red}red} is old information that has been updated
47 \item everything in {\color{black}black} is old information that has not
48 been updated. In the case of plots and results, these would still be
49 with the $\approx$ 10 nb$^{-1}$.
50 \end{itemize}
