50. We are using the method 1 SECVTX b-tag estimate. See Ref. [13].
51. T candidate event. In that case, for both photons above 12 GeV there are 2 diboson candidates, consistent with an expectation of 0.3±0.1 events, and for both photons above 25 GeV there are no diboson candidates, consistent with an expectation of 0.1 ±0.1 events.
52. For example, the event could be due to two pp̄ collisions occurring at the same time, each producing part of the event. Similarly, the event could be the overlap of a pp̄ collision and a cosmic ray interaction. Another possibility is that parts of the event are due to jets which faked the electron and/or photon identification criteria.
53. The efficiency for finding a track in the CTC falls rapidly for |η|>1.4. The η for the cluster is η=-1.63. In addition the inner layers of the CTC have high occupancy in the event, making finding any evidence of a track impossible.
54. T becomes 72, 83, and 85 GeV for the vertices at -8.9, -33.7, and -38.9 cm, respectively, making each far less likely.
55. T>1.0.
56. Since most electrons and photons do not deposit energy in the hadronic calorimeters this method is not efficient for finding timing information. It is thus not unusual that one of the three central clusters in the event does not have timing information.
57. 2, respectively.
58. This is not strictly true. The identification of electrons in the plug calorimeter in the top-quark dilepton analysis requires the presence of a track in the CTC. However, since the cluster in the event is in a region of the detector where the track finding efficiency is approximately zero, this requirement is removed.

60. T electron CTC track is a perfectly good 3-cluster stub with the appropriate Δφ. It is not selected because the algorithm selects 4-cluster stubs over 3-cluster stubs. There are no other such stubs found for the plug electromagnetic cluster.
61. The measurement of the shower in the electromagnetic calorimeter would also be unusual for an electron. However, a detailed study indicates that the problem is not significant and may be due to noise in the calorimeter.
62. The amount of energy deposited in each layer of the SVX is given by a Landau distribution. The probability of the amount of energy deposited to be below the requirement to create a cluster is less than 1%.
63. The photon sample was selected as "photons" having no nearby tracks (see Table I); the efficiency of these criteria is estimated to be 95.3%. Assuming all of the photons rejected from the sample have a VTX occupancy of greater than 50% and |Δφ|>0.03 rad, the true rate at which photons pass these cuts could be as large as 15% and 7% respectively.

67. We have considered here only standard model interpretations. There are exotic possibilities such as a new particle that decays to γ+τ that are consistent with all the data.
68. The list of electron requirements does not include the SVX Δφ cut since it is not part of the standard selection criteria. The CTC track requirement is removed since it restricts the η range in which electrons can be found. Removing these requirements is conservative as it only increases the rate at which standard model processes could produce the event.

Based on experience with Diboson production there is about a 30% uncertainty on the WWγγ cross section because of higher order corrections and structure function uncertainties.
