Contributions from different categories of uncertainties relative to the expected background yields in the defined SRs, as obtained after performing the likelihood ratio test discussed in Section 9 in the paper. The uncertainties are shown for the combination of the individual channels of the $2\ell^{sc}$, $3\ell$ and $4\ell$ SRs. The SRs are indicated along the horizontal axis. In the HEPData entry, the x-axis is simplified for easier visualisation. The first number indicates the sub channel (2:$2\ell^{sc}$, 3:$3\ell$, 4:$4\ell$), while the second number indicates the mass point (2:200, 3:300, 4:400, 5:500).

The $E_{T}^{miss}$ distribution for the SRs of the $m_{H^{\pm\pm}} = 300~GeV$ signal mass hypothesis, where the selection requirement on $E_{T}^{miss}$ has been removed.

Observed and expected upper limits of the $H^{\pm\pm}$ pair production cross section times branching fraction at 95% CL obtained from the combination of 2$\ell^{sc}$, 3$\ell$ and 4$\ell$ channels. The region above the observed limit is excluded by the measurement. The bands represent the expected exclusion curves within one and two standard deviations.
