        !             2: Up to this point we have presented the data sample used in this analysis (Section \ref{sub:datasample})
        !             3: the Monte Carlo samples and corrections applied to them (Sections \ref{sub:mcsample} and \ref{sub:mcsample_xseccorr}),
        !             4: the trigger used and its simulation (Section \ref{sec:trig_param}) and the object ID
        !             5: method (Section \ref{sec:objects}). Now we describe the next steps of the analysis
        !             6: towards the final crosse section measurement:
        !             7: 
        !             8: \begin{itemize}
        !             9: \item Preselection (section \ref{sub:Preselection}): at least 4 jets, at least one $\tau$ with NN$>$0.3 and $p_{T}>10$ GeV/$c$,
        !            10: 15 GeV $\leq$ $\not\!\! E_{T}$ $\leq$ 500 GeV and $\not\!\! E_{T}$ significance $>$4.0. 
        !            11: \item $\tau$- and b-ID cuts (section \ref{sub:Results-of-the}): at least one good $\tau$ lepton 
        !            12: candidate and at least one tight NN b-tag are required.  
        !            13: \item Topological NN (section \ref{sub:NN-variables}): a
        !            14: feed-forward NN's is trained in order to provide signal-background separation. The NN
        !            15: was optimized by testing different sets of topological variables as its inputs and by applying
        !            16: different $\not\!\! E_{T}$ significance cuts.
        !            17: \item Topological Variables (section \ref{sub:Topo}): section showing final analysis plots of topological
        !            18: variables of interest.
        !            19: \item Cross Section (section \ref{sub:xsect}) The signal fraction determination is 
        !            20: combined with integrated luminosity measurement to calculate the cross section.  
        !            21: Systematic uncertainties are determined by fluctuating the significant components 
        !            22: up and down by one standard deviation one at a time, propagating it through the entire procedure. 
        !            23: \end{itemize}

        !            26: 
        !            27: The preselection is the first step of the analysis. The cuts presented here were chosen in order to provide the best
        !            28: background reduction and enhance the $t\bar{t}$  content at this point. The cuts are the similar to those used in the 
        !            29: p17 analysis \cite{p17_note} except that for this time we opted to optimize the value of $\not\!\! E_{T}$ 
        !            30: significance along with the sets of variables we used as inputs to NN training (Section \ref{sub:NN}). 
        !            31: Cuts shown below were applied to samples shown in Table \ref{used_mc} as well as to data as shown in Section \ref{sub:datasample}.

        !            45: \item No isolated electron or muon. This is done in order to ensure orthogonality with other \dzero \hspace{1pt} 
        !            46: measurements (\cite{l+jets} and \cite{dilepton}) - events that pass the lepton preselection cuts from these measurements 
        !            47: were vetoed. Also events that pass the all-jets analysis preselection cuts (described in the alljet analysis note \cite{alljet}) 
        !            48: are rejected here.
        !            49: \end{itemize}

        !            60: Among all preselection cuts one of them requires a more detailed description at this point since it represents
        !            61: an improvement upon the old p17 analysis: $\not\!\! E_{T}$ significance.
        !            62: Missing transverse energy significance is a measure of the likelihood of $\not\!\! E_{T}$
        !            63: arising from physical sources. It is computed from calculated resolutions of physical objects (jets, electrons,
        !            64: muons and unclustered energy) \cite{p17_note,METsig}. Initially no $\not\!\! E_{T}$ significance
        !            65: was applied neither on MC nor on data. In this analysis we decided
        !            66: to optimize the $\not\!\! E_{T}$ significance cut along with the NN optimization itself. 
        !            67: After finishing the $\not\!\! E_{T}$ significance optimization 
        !            68: part we went back and applied the optimized cut along with the non-optimized NNelec cut only to MC. 
        !            69: The entire optimization procedure is described in Section \ref{sub:NN-optimization}.
        !            70: 
        !            71: 
        !            72: In data, initially the sample contained approximately 650 million events and the number of preselected events
        !            73: (once again, without $\not\!\! E_{T}$ significance applied) is approximately 2.8 million events.
        !            74: 
        !            75: 
        !            76: Another relevant aspect of the preselection is the usage of Particle Selector (only applied to MC samples). 
        !            77: In this step we aimed to select a particular $\ttbar$ final state, namely, we split $W$ decay 
        !            78: into $W \rightarrow e/\mu /\tau $ and 
        !            79: tracked separate efficiencies for each of these processes. In this step we selected hadronic decays of tau,
        !            80: and at the same events where tau decays into electrons and muons were put into $e + jets$ and $\mu + jets$ samples.
        !            81: As in p17, we decided to do not split the dilepton sample in different lepton flavors.
        !            82: 
        !            83: Before proceeding to the next step, it is important to describe the result of the preselection
        !            84: in terms of its efficiencies since all the rest of analysis strongly depends on the cuts applied at this level. 
        !            85: As previously described, $t\bar{t}$ were generated by ALPGEN. In ALPGEN, different process with different
        !            86: numbers of partons have different cross-sections and number of events. This fact must be taken into account when calculating the 
        !            87: efficiencies, namely, efficiencies must be properly scaled to the luminosity (4951.85 pb$^{-1}$) of the sample. Tables
