Proposal on how to compare  exp (  /Z+b) with  th (  /Z+b) Cuts used in analysis: –Exp. cut: p T b > p T exp cut –Gen cut at LO ME+PS : p T b > p T gen cut –Th. cut for  th at NLO : p T b > p T th cut The way could be: –use Gen cut = Th.cuts (p T gen cut = p T th cut ) –use Exp.cut > Th. Cuts p T exp cut > p T th cut + ~ 2 x  jet resolution –go from p Texp to p Tth cuts using MC; correct difference in acceptance (p T,  ) between NLO and ME+PS using factor: R = [  th exp.cuts /  th th.cuts ] / [  LO+PS exp.cuts /  LO+PS th.cuts ], –for LO ME+PS apply p T /  cuts on parton b-jets
