Event topology e Background reduction most important factor
Lepton + jets: Background mainly QCD and W + jets Hadronic channel: Background mainly QCD All tt channels: 2 b-jets! B-tagging of vital importance jet e+jets:4 jets + e + νe b-jet jet b-jet e jet jet b-jet Hadronic: 6 jets jet b-jet jet NIKHEF Annual Scientific Meeting Amsterdam, December 19th, 2002 Freya Blekman NIKHEF/ Universiteit van Amsterdam

Triggers Hadronic channel: Electron + jets channel:
focus on jet multiplicity, high total transverse energy (= HT) Electron + jets channel: focus on electron identification + jet multiplicity tt e+jets tt hadronic Signal Efficiency Background Trigger Rate Background Trigger Rate Simulated BG Trigger Rate L1 99 % 88 Hz 100 % 36 Hz 47.8 Hz (only pT > 20 QCD MC) L2 95 % 52 Hz 99.0 % 8 Hz 4.1 Hz L3 75 % 6 Hz 97.8 % 1.4 Hz NIKHEF Annual Scientific Meeting Amsterdam, December 19th, 2002 Freya Blekman NIKHEF/ Universiteit van Amsterdam
