        !            25: turn-on curves to 4-jet data events was measured. We then used the ratio between the predicted and the

        !            27: were re-weighted by this ratio as a function of $H_T$, which was

1.1       uid12904   57: 
                     58: \noindent Here we include systematics associated to the NN cut (NN $>$ 0.90 for taus types 1 and 2 and NN $>$ 0.95 for taus type 3) 
                     59: applied to select hadronic taus. As recommended by the $\tau $-ID group
                     60: these systematics are 9.5\%, 3.5\% and 5.0\% for taus type 1, 2 and 3 respectively. However in this analysis we chose 
1.2     ! uid12904   61: to treat taus types 1 and 2 together. This led us to combine their uncertainties in the following way
1.1       uid12904   62: 
                     63: \begin{center}

                     69: \noindent where $\epsilon_{1}$ and $\epsilon_{2}$ are the $\tau$ ID efficiencies for taus types 1 and 2 respectively and 
                     70: $f_{1}$ and $f_{2}$ are the fractions of taus types 1 (0.16) and 2 (0.84) respectively.
                     71: 
                     72: 
1.2     ! uid12904   73: \subsection{\label{sub:qcd_syst}QCD modeling}
        !            74: As explained in the section \ref{sub:Variables} we use the control (b-veto) sample to 
1.1       uid12904   75: validate our method of modeling the multijet background. Therefore we have to 
1.2     ! uid12904   76: use the same sample to evaluate the associated uncertainties. We did this
        !            77: by reweighting topological event NN for QCD template 
1.1       uid12904   78: (``loose-tight'' $\tau$), so that it matches the one for ``tight'' $\tau$ data exactly 
1.2     ! uid12904   79: (electroweak backgrounds were subtracted). 
1.1       uid12904   80: %Figure \ref{fig:qcd_reweight} shows that this scaling is close to 1, as it should be, since QCD template 
                     81: %models the QCD-dominated data very well. 
                     82: 
1.2     ! uid12904   83: \subsection{$W$ and $Z$ scale factors}
        !            84: We apply a scale factor of 1.47 to both $Wbb$ and $Wcc$ events with an uncertainty of 15\%. At the same time a scales factors
        !            85: of 1.52 and 1.67 are applied to $Zbb$ and $Zcc$ events, both with an uncertainty of 20\%.

                     87: 
                     88: \subsection{Template statistics}
                     89: When we performed the template fit to data (Section \ref{sub:NN}) the QCD template had limited statistics 
                     90: (1132 events for taus types 1 and 2 and 4487 events for taus type 3). We have to take the 
                     91: statistical uncertainty in this histogram as one of the cross section systematics. It was calculated by 
                     92: varying the content of each bin of the QCD template NN distribution within its uncertainty and observing 
                     93: how the cross section result changed.
                     94: 
                     95: \subsection{$t\bar{t}$ contamination in the loose-tight sample}
1.2     ! uid12904   96: When measuring the cross section we had to take into account the signal contamination in the loose-tight
1.1       uid12904   97: sample we use to model QCD in the high NN region. The systematic uncertainty in this case
                     98: is calculated by varying the final assumed cross section by $\pm 1 \sigma$, re-estimating the signal contamination
                     99: and finally measuring the up and down values of the cross section.
                    100: 
                    101: \subsection{PDF}
                    102: Systematics on Parton Distribution Functions (PDF) are estimated by reweighting signal $t\bar{t}$ MC from
                    103: CTEQ6L1 to CTEQ6.1m and its twenty error PDF's. The reweighting of the PDF's is done by using {\tt caf\_pdfreweight}
1.2     ! uid12904  104: package tool on {\sc PYTHIA} $t\bar{t}$ MC. We then assigned the relative PDF uncertainty obtained with {\sc PYTHIA}
        !           105: on the {\sc ALPGEN} $t\bar{t}$ MC.

1.2     ! uid12904  108: Here we take the D0 standard measured uncertainty on luminosity of 6.1$\%$ .
