Acceptance Q&A

 Update on MC mistags Scale Factor
We are still using the K-factor from the Gen4 loose tagger analysis. Please update.
The K-Factor multiplies the mistag matrix prediction on Monte Carlo samples. This is estimated by looking at the mistag matrix prediction in JET50 data and Monte Carlo for Jet Et > 50 GeV. We obtain a value of 0.88 +- 0.26. The plot here shows the reason the K-factor is different from 1.0. The number of tracks is slightly different in the data and Monte Carlo.
