The systematic correlation matrix of the fit parameters is shown <strong>in</strong> Table 5-5.<br />

In order to test the goodness of fit, we ran 1000 toy Monte Carlo pseudo-experiments tak<strong>in</strong>g the result of<br />

the fit as the mean number of signal and background events produced: we plot ÐÓ� Ä from the fit of each<br />

pseudo-experiment <strong>in</strong> Fig. 5-13. The arrow <strong>in</strong>dicates the value obta<strong>in</strong>ed from the fit to the Run1 data-set:<br />

from this, we estimate the probability to f<strong>in</strong>d a greater value for ÐÓ� Ä to be � . This value can be<br />

considered a measurement of the goodness of fit.<br />
