CX of the five production modes, the effect of the underlying event (U.E.) and pileup.
The statistical analysis of the data uses unbinned
maximum likelihood fits. The DY and H shapes and
normalizations are allowed to float within the uncertainties.
In the low-mass analysis, a simultaneous fit to the three
conversion categories is performed. Only two excesses with
2.1 and 2.2 local significances above the background
are observed over the full mass range 65600 GeV, for
mX 201 GeV and mX 530 GeV, respectively. This
corresponds to a deviation of less than 0.5 from the
background-only hypothesis. Consequently, a 95% limit on
fid BRX is computed using the procedure of
Ref. [1]. The systematic uncertainties listed in Table II
are accounted for by nuisance parameters in the likelihood
function. In the low-mass analysis, the dominant uncertainties are the DY normalization and the residual topology
dependence of CX . In the high-mass analysis, the largest
uncertainties arise from the energy resolution and the

FIG. 4 (color online). Observed and expected 95% C.L. limit on the fiducial cross section times branching ratio BRX as a
function of mX in the range 65 < mX < 600 GeV. The discontinuity in the limit at mX 110 GeV (vertical dashed line) is due to the
transition between the low-mass and high-mass analyses. The green and yellow bands show the 1 and 2 uncertainties on the
expected limit. The inset shows a zoom around the transition point.
