## Total Selection (*not*  identification)

| -------- | -------- | -------- |

## Main Background Contribution
* $\tau^{\pm} \rightarrow \mu^{\pm} \nu_{\mu} \nu_{\tau}$
### $\pi$ misidentified + beam Bg photon or initail state radiation
* $\tau^{\pm} \rightarrow \pi^{\pm} \mu_{\tau}$

* $e^+e^- \rightarrow \mu^+\mu^-$

* $e^+e^- \rightarrow \gamma \gamma$

### fitting variables $\quad \Delta E \quad M_{inv}$
#### 1. PDF: Signal Monte Carlo Assymetric Gaussian $\sigma^{high/low} = 14.49\pm0.10/24.24\pm0.13 MeV/c^2$ $\\ \Delta E = 35.29\pm0.49/28.14\pm0.94 MeV$
#### 2. Use Binned Likelihood Fitting Background: Landau + Gaussian 

#### 3. Fitting Region: Assymetric Gaussian $5\sigma$ region $\rightarrow$ ****blind test****: Data $3\sigma$ region is not examined .  Only examiing sideband(ex:3~5$\sigma$) to modify background fitting size owing to simulation and real data discrepancy. 

#### 4. Final Data Sideband fitting(almost Background) is also using Binned Likelihood Fitting 


## Signal Region
#### 1.Fitting Method: Unbinned Extended Maximum Likelihood 
$$\cal{L} = \frac{e^{-(s+b)}}{N!} \prod_{i}^{N}(sS_i + bB_i)$$ 
N: total Events s: the number of signal $S_i$: ith value from Signal MC PDF 
b: the number of BG  $B_i$:  ith value from Bg MC PDF

#### Concentrate on 2$\sigma$ fit
