Signal vs background(s)<br />
• Signal: an event coming <strong>from</strong> the physical process under study<br />
– Example: H ZZe + e - e + e -<br />
• Background: any other event<br />
– ‘Dangerous’ background is any other process giving at least 4 electrons in the final state<br />
• But be careful: electrons seen by detector are reconstructed objects and in some cases<br />
when some other objects (f.g. jets) are miss-reconstructed as electrons<br />
– ‘Trivial’ backgrounds are all other backgrounds and are easily rejected by a simple<br />
requirement of having at least 4 electrons in the final state<br />
