Comments and “Systematics”
Note that for the 4-jets channel which suffers from large tails toward lower masses, we have taken the tails into account by using mass histograms.
To test the stability of the results we have degraded the b-tag performance by increasing the impurity by a factor 2 (Alt).
The effect on the exclusion sensitivity is less than 0.5 GeV.
There is a drop of ~1 GeV in the discovery sensitivity.
None of the above points change any conclusion regarding the running requirements.
