Abstract
We analyze signal and background for our doubly charged Higgs boson analysis using Monte Carlo simulations. The focus of this research is to model the uncertainties in our Monte Carlo simulations including rate systematics, which affect the overall normalization of the Monte Carlo, and shape systematics, which affect the shape of the distributions. The aim of the systematic framework is to combine all of the systematics and model the resulting distribution to understand the impact of the uncertainties on the measurement and improve the robustness of our statistical inferences. The data modeled is from the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
