The contour for the excluded mass--lifetime region for stau pair production obtained with the di-track search. All masses and lifetimes shown that are below the curve and above 200 GeV are excluded by the observed data (while the expected exclusion is between the upper curve down to 210 GeV for lifetimes above 3000 ns).

Invariant mass of the lepton pair plus jet system, for data, background (pre- and post-reweighting) and three $H\rightarrow Za$ signal hypotheses (for $a\rightarrow q\bar{q}/gg$ inclusively). Events are required to pass the complete event selection but not the classification NN requirement. The background normalization is set equal to that of the data for events passing the preselection and being in the $m_{\ell\ell j}$ 100-180 GeV region. The signal normalization assumes the SM Higgs boson inclusive production cross-section, $\mathcal{B}(H\to Za)=100\%$, and it is scaled up by a factor of 100. The error bars (hatched regions) represent the data (MC) sample's statistical uncertainty in the histograms and the ratio plots. Vertical arrows indicate data points that fall outside the displayed $y$-axis range.

Invariant mass of the lepton pair plus jet system for data, reweighted background, and various signal hypotheses. Events are required to pass the complete event selection (preselection and classification NN requirement). The pre-fit background distribution is shown along with three $H\rightarrow Za$ signal hypotheses coming from the pure MC sample ($a\rightarrow q\bar{q}/gg$ inclusively). The background normalization is set equal to that of the data for events passing the preselection and being in the region 100-180 GeV. The error bars represent the data sample's statistical uncertainty and the grey bands represent the full background model uncertainty before the fit (assuming all the uncertainties are uncorrelated). The lower panel shows the ratio of the data to the pre-fit background prediction.

Invariant mass of the lepton pair plus jet system for data, reweighted background, and 2.0 GeV signal hypotheses. Events are required to pass the complete event selection (preselection and classification NN requirement). The background shape and normalization come from the fit to the data. The signal includes only $gg$ decays, its shape comes from the fit, and it is normalized to $\mathcal{B}(H\rightarrow Za)=100\%$. The error bars represent the data sample's statistical uncertainty and the grey bands represent the full background model uncertainty after the fit. The lower panel shows the per-bin signal significance, $(N_\text{data}-N_\text{MC})\,\text{\Large{/}}\sqrt{\sigma_\text{data}^2+\sigma_\text{MC}^2}$. The post-fit background uncertainty is calculated from a fit under the background-only hypothesis. Vertical arrows indicate data points that fall outside the displayed $y$-axis range.
