Estimated Backgrounds in Control Regions Main background is ZZ: estimated from MC simulation, scaled to theoretical xsection Reducible backgrounds: Zbb, Z+light jets, ttbar, using data-driven method Zbb ttbar Z+jets Estimates agree with data in control regions where isolated & d0 requirements are removed for subleading pairs. Estimated background using data-driven methods by extrapolating to signal region using extrapolation factors. 5

Analysis of Single Resonance Z 4l The Z 4l production was first observed at the LHC by ATLAS and CMS. It serves as a standard candle for 4l decay channel along the Higgs discovery. Cross section and BR measurement of the Z 4l production provides A SM test for a rare decay process, measurements of σ(4l) and BR(Z 4l) A complementary test of the detector response for H 4l detection BR(meas.)=3.20±0.25±0.13 10-6 BR(SM NLO)=3.33±0.01 10-6 Phys.
