Table 4.

Top row observed and expected model-independent upper limits on event yields for new physics processes for the inclusive signal region. Also shown are the efficiencies for the fiducial kinematic region defined in the text for some example mass points for the signal scenarios explicitly considered here, and the corresponding observed and expected (±1σ) upper limits on the fiducial cross section within the acceptance. Total statistical uncertainties are quoted for the fiducial efficiencies, and the uncertainties for the upper limits correspond to the uncertainties arising from the ±1σ upper limits calculated via hypothesis testing using the combination of statistical and systematic uncertainties
