We are happy that the main pre-approval comments have now been addressed, and we invite the ARC to begin their review.
We think it remains to conclude on the inclusion (or not) of the control region, given the concerns about whether the simulation is modelling the Δη(jj) distribution sufficiently well, and whether possible mismodelling is covered by systematic uncertainties.
We note that as the analysis is still blinded, the status in CADI will remain as GoingToPreApp. We ask the ARC to focus initially on any showstoppers for the unblinding, and only after this is completed we will set the status to PRE-APP.
thanks,
Andrew & Mario
