Absolute prediction using EW scaling and heavy flavor overlap removal

We want to compare the taggable/tagged populations obtained from absolute normalization to that obtained from the ratio scheme.  Below are the met fits used for absolute normalization.

We use the results of the fit to fix the QCD normalization as well as to scale the electroweak contribution.  The predicted and observed results obtained are as follows:

TCE:QCD=29885.7 W+b=5467.02 W+c=36451.4 t#bar{t}=1525.76 Diboson=2848.45 Z#rightarrow#tau#tau=3232.83 Drell Yan=24179.3 W+jets=2.44995e+06

nbg=2.55354e+06

Some kinematic plots are available here. There is good overall agreement, although it is clear in the mT plot that the QCD model has too many dijet events near threshold.
