Acceptance and efficiency for a representative set of pair-produced gluino signal samples. The mass of the gluino ($m(\tilde{g})$), its lifetime ($\tau(\tilde{g})$) and the mass of the neutralino ($m(\tilde{\chi}^{0})$) are given in the first three columns. The Pythia 6.4.27 signal samples shown in this table are not reweighted to match the transverse momentum of the gluino-gluino system as simulated by MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. The acceptance is defined as the fraction of events passing a loose set of fiducial requirements. The full simulation efficiency (Full sim. $\epsilon$) is defined as the ratio of the number of reconstructed events, as expected by the full ATLAS simulation, and the number of events passing the fiducial requirements. The parameterised simulation efficiency (Param. sim. $\epsilon$) is defined as the ratio of the number of events estimated using a set of parametrised efficiencies (see auxiliary Figures 9,10,11,12) and the number of events passing the fiducial requirements alone.

The relationship between generated and reconstructed mass for gluino $R$-hadrons. Above 1500 GeV, the reconstructed mass falls below the generated mass due to bias in the reconstructed momentum.

Comparison of data with estimated backgrounds in the $\tilde{E}_\text{T}^\text{miss}$ distribution with the TZCR1 event selection except for the requirement on $\tilde{E}_\text{T}^\text{miss}$. The variables $\tilde{E}_\text{T}^\text{miss}$ and $\tilde{m}_\text{T}$ are constructed in the same way as $E_\text{T}^\text{miss}$ and $m_\text{T}$ but treating the leading photon transverse momentum as invisible.

Degree of multijet closure for signal and vaidation regions with at no b-jet requirement. The solid lines are the pre-fit predicted numbers of events and the points are the observed numbers. The blue hatched band shows only the statistical (MC and data) uncertainty on the background estimate. The bins labelled in bold are signal regions, while the others are validation regions. The template closure uncertainty for each SR bin is given by the maximal deviation of data from prediction in any non-SR bin to its left on this plot (although those for 80 GeV regions are independent of deviations in 50 GeV regions).
