ttbar τ + jets: Update on QCD Estimation William Edson SUNY at Albany
Chi-squared minimization Equation: N(x): total number of events of type x for distribution n(x)i: number of events in bin of type x frac(Sig): fraction of N(Remain) expected to be Signal binfrac(x)i: fraction of events in bin of type x expected from MC or template σi: uncertainty in bin i
Chi-squared minimization cont. σi determined by adding in quadrature bin error: data signal, MC QCD template other backgrounds, MC statistical error: data: signal region (times 2) data: background region other backgrounds, MC (times 2) signal and other backgrounds combined, MC: background region
