Kinematic distributions for "extended SR selections" of the 2-tau channel, for mTsum in the Compressed SR selection without the mTsum>1400 GeV requirement. The last bin includes overflow events. Cited uncertainties are statistical uncertainties only. Signal predictions are overlaid for several benchmark models, normalised to their predicted cross sections. For the simplified model, "MM" refers to a medium mass splitting, with m(gluino)=1145 GeV and m(neutralino)=265 GeV; "HM" denotes a high mass splitting scenario, with m(gluino)=1305 GeV and m(neutralino)=105 GeV. The GMSB benchmark model corresponds to Lambda = 90 TeV and tanbeta = 40.

Summary of the relative uncertainties in the measured fiducial cross section $\sigma^{\mathrm{fid}}_{W^\pm Z j j-EW}$ . The uncertainties are reported as percentages.

Numbers of observed and expected events in the $W^{\pm}Zjj$ signal region and in the three control regions, after the fit. The expected number of $WZjj-EW$ events from $SHERPA$ and the estimated number of background events from the other processes are shown. The sum of the background containing misidentified leptons is labelled "Misid. leptons". The total correlated post-fit uncertainties are quoted.

Measured $W^{pm}Zjj$ differential cross-section in the VBS fiducial phase space. The relative uncertainties are reported as percentages. The systematic uncertainties are in order of appearance: total uncorrelated systematic and correlated systematics related respectively to unfolding, electrons, muons, jets, reducible and irreducible backgrounds, pileup and luminosity. The last bin is a cross section for all events above the lower end of the bin.
