We will work on spin-2 resonance first

H bb
2 b-jets from the Higgs bb
Analysis updates
Solved the issue of orthogonality with bbWW, inverting Zll cut and keeping only
the upper side-band
Need to update many parts of the analysis to the most recent POG
recommendations/corrections available:
- regressed jet quantities to shrink the resolution and decrease scale bias
- most recent lepton SFs
- maybe CMVAv2 for b-tagging
Will have to train new MVA discriminants (perhaps again BDT) using new big
statistics samples
Obtain limits_v2 and start working on the combination with the other channels

Cut on BDT value Cut on BDT value
After cut at 0.5, limit growths for 260 GeV case with BDT cut value
For simplicity, for both low mass region samples we pick cut at 0.5
Of course, when new samples arrive, will optimize BDT cut for
each mass point separately
