Table 4.

Observed event counts and predicted numbers of events for each SM background process in the SRs used in the analysis. For two-lepton SRs, background fit results and nominal MC expectations are given for comparison. The “non-prompt” category includes tt¯, single top and Z+jets processes for the three-lepton SRs SR3A and SR3B. The p-value of the observed events for the background only hypothesis (p0) is also shown. The value of p0 is capped at 0.5 if the number of observed events is below the number of expected events
