Theory cross sections vs m($\widetilde{\chi}^0_1$) for SMS model TChiHH-G, $\widetilde{\chi}^0_1, \widetilde{\chi}^0_2$ NLSPs only.

The 95% CL observed and expected upper limits on the production cross sections of the TChiHH signal model as a function of the $\widetilde{\chi}^0_2$ and $\widetilde{\chi}^0_1$ masses. Relative to Fig. 13, the binning of the table is adjusted to align with the model points that were sampled. In addition, a small correction has been applied that affects the cross section upper limits for points with $m(\widetilde{\chi}^0_1) = 1$ GeV. For that row of points in the figure, the small region of model phase space reached by both the resolved and boosted selections was inadvertently double counted in computing the signal contribution to the predicted yield.

Numbers of events satisfying each selection criterion in turn for the DV+$E_T^{miss}$ channel, using the model listed in http://hepdata.cedar.ac.uk/view/ins1362183/d44. The ''Filter and trigger'' line includes the requirements placed on the primary vertex.

Numbers of events satisfying each selection criterion in turn for the dilepton $e^+e^-$ channel, using the model listed in http://hepdata.cedar.ac.uk/view/ins1362183/d44. The ''Trigger'' line includes the event-level cosmic-muon veto and the requirements placed on the primary vertex, but not the offline filter selection. This is included in the ''Lepton reconstruction and DV match'' line, along with all other requirements placed on offline-reconstructed leptons. About 20,000 events of the full sample are analyzed, which contain an equal mixture of $\tilde{\chi}_1^0 \to e^{\pm}\mu^{\mp}\nu$ and $\tilde{\chi}_1^0 \to e^+e^-\nu$ decays.

Numbers of events satisfying each selection criterion in turn for the dilepton $e^{\pm}\mu^{\mp}$ channel, using the model listed in http://hepdata.cedar.ac.uk/view/ins1362183/d44. The ''Trigger'' line includes the event-level cosmic-muon veto and the requirements placed on the primary vertex, but not the offline filter selection. This is included in the ''Lepton reconstruction and DV match'' line, along with all other requirements placed on offline-reconstructed leptons. The sample contains about 50% $\tilde{\chi}_1^0 \to e^{\pm}\mu^{\mp}\nu$ decays, 25% $\tilde{\chi}_1^0 \to e^+e^-\nu$ and 25% $\tilde{\chi}_1^0 \to \mu^+\mu^-\nu$ decays.
