systematic uncertainties and highlight the ability of our setup to correct for it.

We apply the smearing to the background sample such that two extra datasets are created for smearing in the upwards and downwards directions, as well as the unsmeared central sample. No smearing is applied to the signal sample. The three background samples are each generated from statistically independent generator samples, and after all cuts we select 100,000 events from each of the four samples, with 20% of these retained for testing.
