Cumulative efficiency for simulated signal events to pass each stage of the event selection in the hadhad category. The efficiencies are calculated with respect to HH to bbtautau decays in which both tau-leptons decay hadronically. The ‘Pre-selection’ consists of basic requirements, including that at least two tau-had-vis pass loose kinematic requirements, at least one of the tau-had-vis candidate passes identification requirement, and that events do not contain an electron or muon. The ‘Object selections’ require exactly two tau-had-vis candidates, and at least two jets with pT > 25 GeV and abs(eta) < 2.5. The ‘Loose tau ID’ requires that both tau-had-vis candidates pass identification requirements. The ‘DTT offline jet cuts’ are cuts placed on the pT of the reconstructed jet or tau-had-vis that are geometrically matched to the HLT objects, to ensure the efficiencies of the HLT objects reach the plateau region.

In the top row, left-to-right, are $\mathcal{S}(E_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}})$ in SR-High_8-EWK and $m_{bb}$ in SR-$\ell\ell bb$-EWK. In the middle row, left-to-right, are $\mathcal{S}(E_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}})$ in SR-Int-EWK and $\mathcal{S}(E_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}})$ in SR-Low-EWK. In the bottom row is $m_{\ell\ell}$ in SR-OffShell-EWK. Overlaid are example C1N2 and GMSB signal models, where the numbers in the brackets indicate the masses, in $\mathrm{GeV}$, of the $\tilde{\chi}_1^\pm$ and $\tilde{\chi}_2^0$ or the mass of the $\tilde{\chi}_1^0$ and branching ratio to the Higgs boson respectively.

Expected and observed exclusion contours from the EWK analysis for the C1N2 model (left) and GMSB model (right). The dashed line indicates the expected limits at 95$\%$ CL and the surrounding band shows the $1\sigma$ variation of the expected limit as a consequence of the uncertainties on the background prediction and experimental uncertainties on the signal ($\pm1\sigma_\mathrm{exp}$). The red dotted lines surrounding the observed limit contours indicate the variation resulting from changing the signal cross-section within its uncertainty ($\pm1\sigma_\mathrm{theory}^\mathrm{SUSY}$). The gray shaded areas indicate observed limits on these models from the two lepton channels of Ref.~[arXiv: 1803.02762] and Ref.~[arXiv: 1403.5294].

Cutflow of expected events in the four Strong search edge signal regions. `Leptons' refers to electrons and muons only. The gluino-$Z^{(*)}$ model with $m_{ ilde{g}}=800~GeV$ and $m_{ ilde{\chi}_1^0}=700~GeV$ is used for SRC-STR with 60000 Monte Carlo (MC) events generated. The slepton-$Z^{(*)}$ model with $m_{ ilde{\ell}}=1200~GeV$ and $m_{ ilde{\chi}_1^0}=700~GeV$ is used for SRMed-STR with 30000 (MC) events generated. The gluino-slepton model with $m_{ ilde{g}}=2~TeV$ and $m_{ ilde{\ell}}=1.3~TeV$ is used for SRLow-STR and SRHigh-STR with 30000 MC events generated. The Generator Filter requires two 5~GeV leptons and 100~GeV of \met. The SUSY2 kernel requires at least two leptons with $p_{\mathrm{T}}>9~GeV$ or at least one lepton with $p_{\mathrm{T}}>25~GeV$ and a photon with $p_{\mathrm{T}}>40~GeV$, with all objects within $|\eta|=2.6$.

For C1N2 models, the Generator Filter requires at least two $7~\mathrm{GeV}$ leptons and for C1N2 models with mass splittings below the Z boson mass it also requires $75~\mathrm{GeV}$ of $E_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}}$. For GMSB models, the Generator Filter requires at least two $3~\mathrm{GeV}$ leptons. For on-shell C1N2 models, the `Forced Decays' require each Z boson to decay to a charged lepton pair (electron, muon, or tau) and each W boson to decay hadronically. For off-shell C1N2 models, each neutralino is forced to produce a charged lepton pair in its decay, and each chargino can produce any fermion pair. The SUSY2 kernel requires at least two leptons with $p_{\mathrm{T}}>9~\mathrm{GeV}$ or at least one lepton with $p_{\mathrm{T}}>25~\mathrm{GeV}$ and a photon with $p_{\mathrm{T}}>40~\mathrm{GeV}$, with all objects within $|\eta|=2.6$.

This $\mathcal{S}(E_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}})$ tail overlaps other control and validation regions, but not signal regions. The arrows indicate the signal region SR-Low-EWK (left), and the $\mathcal{S}(E_{\mathrm{T}}^{\mathrm{miss}})$ phase space which is not included in CR-Z-EWK (right). All EWK search control and signal regions are included in the fit. All statistical and systematic uncertainties are included in the hatched bands. The theoretical uncertainties from CR-Z-EWK are applied to CR-Z-met-EWK. The last bins contain the overflow.

Signal yields following each cut in the analysis, for representative $R$-parity-violating supersymmetry and leptoquark signals. All yields are MC generator-weighted and normalised to $139~\text{fb}^{-1}$. The cut labelled `Preselection' includes trigger requirements, and requires exactly one Baseline electron and one Baseline muon.

Ranking of the 20 nuisance parameters with the largest post-fit impact on $\mu $ in the STXS fit for $0\le {\hat{p}_{{T}}^{H}}<120$ GeV. Nuisance parameters corresponding to statistical uncertainties in the simulated event samples are not included. The empty blue rectangles correspond to the pre-fit impact on $\mu $ and the filled blue ones to the post-fit impact on $\mu $, both referring to the upper scale. The impact of each nuisance parameter, $\Delta \mu $, is computed by comparing the nominal best-fit value of $\mu $ with the result of the fit when fixing the considered nuisance parameter to its best-fit value, $\hat{\theta }$, shifted by its pre-fit (post-fit) uncertainties $\pm \Delta \theta $ ($\pm \Delta \hat{\theta }$). The black points show the pulls of the nuisance parameters relative to their nominal values, $\theta _0$. These pulls and their relative post-fit errors, $\Delta \hat{\theta }/\Delta \theta $, refer to the lower scale. For experimental uncertainties that are decomposed into several independent sources, NP X corresponds to the X$^{th}$ nuisance parameter, ordered by their impact on $\mu $. The `ljets' (`dilep') label refers to the single-lepton (dilepton) channel.

95% confidence level upper limits on signal-strength measurements in the individual STXS ${\hat{p}_{{T}}^{H}}$ bins, as well as the inclusive signal-strength limit, after the fit used to extract multiple signal-strength parameters. The observed limits are shown (solid black lines), together with the expected limits both in the background-only hypothesis (dotted black lines) and in the SM hypothesis (dotted red lines). In the case of the expected limits in the background-only hypothesis, one- and two-standard-deviation uncertainty bands are also shown.

Breakdown of the contributions to the uncertainties in $\mu$. The contributions from the different sources of uncertainty are evaluated after the fit. The $\Delta \mu $ values are obtained by repeating the fit after having fixed a certain set of nuisance parameters corresponding to a group of systematic uncertainties, and then evaluating $(\Delta \mu)^2$ by subtracting the resulting squared uncertainty of $\mu $ from its squared uncertainty found in the full fit. The same procedure is followed when quoting the effect of the ${t\bar {t}+{\geq }1b}$ normalisation. The total uncertainty is different from the sum in quadrature of the different components due to correlations between nuisance parameters existing in the fit.
