- 1.
All possible combinations of particles and antiparticles are included implicitly. The notation +jets indicates that the number of jets is not determined, while jj e.g. refers to exactly two jets. (Z→ττ) jj always includes the decay of the τ lepton into an electron or muon.
- 2.
Heavy-flavor quarks are not considered separately as the kinematics of these events is very similar and no bias is observed, see Fig. 6.12.
