Unfolding of control regions in the search for lepto-quarks using the 2015 and 2016 datasets from ATLAS — •Alexander Sydorenko — Institut für Physik, Uni Mainz

Many Exotics and SUSY analyses use control regions in interesting regions of phase space to perform their searches. The information obtained from these control regions could have applications beyond the original search. For example, unfolded distributions of certain observables in these regions could be used for re-interpretations or tuning of Monte Carlo generators. This note is intended as a demonstration of the unfolding of search control regions. The unfolding is based on a search for leptoquarks performed using data collected by the ATLAS experiment during LHC pp collisions at 13 TeV in 2015 and 2016. A simple bin-by-bin unfolding is performed on a number of variables in eejj, μμjj and eμjj control regions of the search.
