Table 1 Observed data and expected event yields in 139 fb−1 of data in the jj and ννjj SRs. All the minor backgrounds are summed together as ‘Others’, and the WWjj and \(t\overline{t}\) processes are referred to as the non-resonant- backgrounds. Uncertainties in the predictions include both the statistical and systematic components on the predicted yields before fit
