Table 1.

Expected and observed event yields at s=7 and 8TeV. The contributions from tt¯, Z+jets, and other processes with nonprompt leptons have been determined from data control samples, as described in the text. Backgrounds with at least three bosons in the decay chain comprised of WZZ, ZZZ, WWZ, WWW, tt¯W, tt¯Z, tt¯WW, tt¯γ and WWγ events, are referred to as VVV. Combined statistical and systematic uncertainties are shown, except for the WZ signal where only statistical uncertainties are shown
