The distributions of m Ttot in (a) the τlepτhad channel W+jets control region, (b) the tanti-t validation region of the τlepτhad channel, (c) the τhadτhad channel b-veto same-sign validation region and (d) the τhadτhad channel b-tag same-sign validation region. The various control and validation regions are defined in Table 1. The data are compared to the background prediction and a hypothetical MSSM H/A→ττ signal (mA = 500GeV and tanβ = 20). The Monte Carlo statistics of the signal is limited in the background-dominated regions. The label "Others" in (c) and (d) refers to contributions due to diboson, Z(→ℓℓ)+jets and W(→ℓν)+jets production. The background uncertainty includes statistical and systematic uncertainties. The bins have a varying size and overflows are included in the last bin of the distributions.
