Figure 1-a

Distribution of the merged V candidate $\tau_{21}$, where the $\tau_{21}<$ 0.4 requirement has been removed, in data and simulation for events in the signal region of the low-mass analysis. The points show the data while the filled histograms show the background contributions. The gray band shows the statistical and systematic uncertainties in the background, while the dashed vertical region ("Higgs") shows the expected SM Higgs boson mass range, which is excluded from this analysis. A 600 GeV bulk graviton signal prediction is represented by the black dashed histogram; for visibility, the signal cross-section is increased by a factor of 5. The background normalization is derived from the final fit to the $m_{VZ}$ observable in data.

Figure 2-a

The m$_{j}$ distributions of the events in data, compared to the expected background shape, for the high-mass analysis in the electron channel, for the high-purity category. The expected background shape is extracted from a fit to the data sidebands (Z+jets) or derived from simulation ("top quark" and "VV"). The dashed region around the background sum represents the uncertainty in the Z+jets distribution, while the dashed vertical region ("Higgs") shows the expected SM Higgs boson mass range, excluded from the analysis.
