Datasets and cuts
• Z candidate • Two jets, pT
1 > 45 GeV, pT2 > 35 GeV
• Jet veto: No jets in between the two leading jets with pT > 25 GeV
• ΔΦ(j,j) > π/2• ΔΦ(Z,jj) > 2.9• Fit the mjj distribution
• 5.6 fb-1 of 8 TeV Zμμ and Zee candidates• Background: Sherpa QCD Z + jets samples
– Blah– Blah
• Signal: Currently using 7 TeV Sherpa EWK samples

mjj background shape
Can we define control regions to test the Sherpa model of the background shape?
• Z candidate Keep these cuts• Two jets, pT
1 > 45 GeV, pT2 > 35 GeV
• Jet veto: No jets in between the two leading jets Remove, relax or reverse• ΔΦ(j,j) > π/2• ΔΦ(Z,jj) > 2.9

mjj in control regions
In events where the Z and di-jet system do not balance: MC overestimates mjj tails
These events generally either:• have additional jets, or • the di-jet system comes from DPI or pileup
Remove all cuts Remove all, reverse Φ(Z,jj)

Remove Φ(j,j), relax Φ(Z,jj) > 2.7, require extra jet Relax Φ(Z,jj) > 2.7, require extra jet OR reverse Φ(j,j)

Conclusion on control regions
Within the current limited stats the control regions are well described
We will have three (six) times the data and much more MC We could use the W+jets events to check mjj in control regions

JES systematic
Make mjj background templates with JES scaled up one sigma
Fit to a pol1
Within the current limited stats the JES systematic is small
We will have much more MC We could use the W+jets events to
check the JES effect on mjj

JER systematic
Make mjj background templates with JER scaled up one sigma
Fit to a pol1
Within the current limited stats the JER systematic is small
We will have much more MC We could use the W+jets events to
check the JER effect on mjj

How systematics effect mjj fits• So far not much sign of systematic shift within stats• Try weighting background mjj spectrum by a 1st order polynomial
• Do 1000 toy MC fits to shifted template
1 – (0.1/3000)×mjj
213 input events
1 – (0.2/3000)×mjj 1 – (0.3/3000)×mjj
