Summary of the selection applied to different-flavor V H2j categories

Subcategory	Selection
Global selection
—	$p_{\text{T}}{}_1>25\text{Ge}\text{V}$, $p_{\text{T}}{}_2>10\text{Ge}\text{V}$ (2016) or 13$\text{Ge}\text{V}$
	$p_{\text{T}}^{\text{miss}}>20\text{Ge}\text{V}$, $p_{\text{T}}^{\ell \ell }>30\text{Ge}\text{V}$, $m_{\ell \ell }>12\text{Ge}\text{V}$
	e$\mathrm{\mu }$ pair with opposite charge
Signal region
—	At least 2 jets with $p_{\text{T}}>30\text{Ge}\text{V}$, $|{\eta }_{j1}|,|{\eta }_{j2}|<2.5$
	$\Delta {\eta }_{\text{jj}}<3.5$, $65<m_{\text{jj}}<105\text{Ge}\text{V}$
	$60\text{Ge}\text{V}<m_{\text{T}}^{\text{H}}<125\text{Ge}\text{V}$, $\Delta R_{\ell \ell }<2$
	No b-tagged jet with $p_{\text{T}}>20\text{Ge}\text{V}$
Control region
Top quark CR	As SR but with no $m_{\text{T}}^{\text{H}}$ requirement, $m_{\ell \ell }>50\text{Ge}\text{V}$
	At least 1 b-tagged jet with $p_{\text{T}}>30\text{Ge}\text{V}$
$\mathrm{\tau }\mathrm{\tau }$ CR	As signal region but with $m_{\text{T}}^{\text{H}}<60\text{Ge}\text{V}$
	$40<m_{\ell \ell }<80\text{Ge}\text{V}$
