Data-driven Estimations of Z, W and Top Backgrounds

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2019-08-13 v2

Abstract

The Standard Model processes of W, Z and top quark production in association with jets constitute a major background to searches for Supersymmetry at the LHC. We describe recent work performed in the ATLAS Collaboration to estimate these backgrounds for a basic SUSY selection, and we discuss methods to derive them from the first ATLAS data.
