Abstract

In Chap.10, no excess of the data is observed, and then the upper limits on the cross section for various signal models are set. The limits in both only 1-lepton channel and combined channel of 1- and 0-lepton are consistent with the data within three standard deviations of their expected uncertainty. However, the discrepancy by around $3\sigma$ on the limits in only 1-lepton channel may be caused by other potential issues than statistical fluctuations. In this chapter, to investigate potential issues, the systematic analyses for the $3\sigma$ discrepancies are carried out and summarised. The discrepancy on the limits can be caused by the fact that the data is observed less than the post-fit prediction at the last bins in the most sensitive categories as shown in Fig. 10.13. After the categories causing the discrepancy are identified, the detailed studies are performed.
