Abstract
Having determined all components of the background, the observed data are compared to the background estimation. Figures 6.1, 6.1, 6.3 show the observed distributions of the E T γ, lepton p T (p T ℓ), E T miss, M T, H T, and the number of jets (N jet) in the eγ and μγ channels, together with the stacked background estimations. Two benchmark signal event distributions, one each from the TChiWg and T5Wg models, are also shown in the figures. The TChiWg point is for \(m_{\widetilde{\chi }} = 300\,\text{GeV}\), which has the nominal cross section of 0.146 pb, and the T5Wg point is for \(m_{\tilde{\mathrm{g}}} = 1000\,\text{GeV}\) and \(m_{\widetilde{\chi }} = 425\,\text{GeV}\), which has the nominal cross section of 0.0122 pb. In the figures and the remainder of this section, the displayed uncertainties are a combination of the systematic and statistical uncertainties, added in quadrature. Details on the determination of the systematic uncertainties are given in Sect. 6.3.
