BackgroundEstimationforInclusiveSUSYSearches

Introduction

We discuss a new data-driven estimation technique, denoted {em Tiles Method}, for Standard Model (SM) background in inclusive SUSY searches. The Tiles Method translates prior knowledge on the SM distributions of discriminating variables in a two or higher dimensional grid into an estimate of the abundances of SM and beyond-SM events.
