First estimation of tt~jj background for WWtj with two same-sign leptons

(Philippe)

• sample used for estimatation: tt~+0,1,2j @NLO with PS with FxFx merging
• used cross section from MG5_aMC (→ NLO for ttjj)
• selection:
  • At least one (anti)top with pt > 250 (500) GeV
  • two leptons with pt > 20GeV, |eta| < 2.5
  • At least one forward jet with 2.5 < |eta| < 4.7, E > 300GeV, pt > 30 GeV
  • No requirement on lepton charge, neither for a third W yet
