Strategies of data-driven estimations of ttbar backgrounds in ATLAS

An overview of data-driven methods developed in ATLAS to evaluate main sources of backgrounds for the estimation of the ttbar cross section is presented. The techniques have been designed for both the single lepton and for the dilepton channels to establish confidence in background estimates without...

Sumario:An overview of data-driven methods developed in ATLAS to evaluate main sources of backgrounds for the estimation of the ttbar cross section is presented. The techniques have been designed for both the single lepton and for the dilepton channels to establish confidence in background estimates without relying on the simulation.
