Author response to RC2: 'Review of amt-2019-149, Erdmann et al.' by Anonymous Referee #1

Abstract

The authors thank the referee #1 for his constructive comments. We included the general and specific comments in the updated paper manuscript. Based on the general comments, the results section is revised in total. Two Figures (former 14 and 15) are removed and we introduced two tables summarizing the statistics of investigated flash characteristics. The specific comments are addressed in the following.

Test of CP Violation in b ̄ b pairs from top quark decay

“…Separation of the data into ST-and DT-like SMT muons is performed using the kinematic likelihood fitter (KLFitter) [6]. The KLFitter places Breit-Wigner mass constraints on the top-quark and W -boson masses, and permutes reconstructed jets into each possible position in the leading-order parton representation of the tt system.…”

“…If a reconstructed b-tagged jet is mapped to the KLFitter leptonic (hadronic) b-jet position then the SMT muon is considered to be ST(DT)-like. The KLFitter performs with a misassignment probability of 21% [6] 3 Unfolding…”
