11. Dijet Rejection – Best algorithm:isEM (refer to Saminder’s Work) - Using isEM rather than likelihood as the 3 rd level cut only reduces Electron Identification by 3.3%. - By using Harder ElecID cuts can reject 87% of background CutsHiggs # elec Dijets # elec isEM13,891301 Isolation13,40999 E/p11,163 (  =80.4%) 39 (  =13.0%)

15. Higgs Reconstruction Use Identified Electrons and Taujets and reconstruct the Invariant Mass of the Tau System Use Collinear Approximation Using the missing transverse momentum and assuming Tau decay products are collinear with original Tau, solve 2 linear equations for missing neutrinos, can reconstruct the Tau’s and hence the Invariant mass of the whole system(Higgs Mass)
