Cutflow event yields of the Intermediate stau SRs in models of the production of $\tilde{\chi}_1^{+}\tilde{\chi}_1^{-}$. All yields correspond to weighted events, so that effects from reconstruction efficiencies, trigger corrections, pileup reweighting, etc., are included. They are normalised to the integrated luminosity of the data sample, $\int L dt = 139$ fb$^{-1}$. The preliminary event reduction is a centralised stage requiring the event to: have at least two hadronically-decaying medium taus; be selected and matched by the asymmetric ditau trigger or ditau+MET trigger with offline cuts using HLT threshold values. The different yields of preliminary event reduction are caused by different trigger scale factor.

The experimental efficiency of the low-mass channel for the exclusion and discovery signal regions as a function of higgsino mass. The experimental efficiency is defined as the number of events passing the detector-level event selections divided by the number of events passing the event selections for a perfect detector.
