Description
Any discovery of new physics relies on detailed understanding of the
Standard Model background. At the LHC, we expect to extract the
backgrounds from the data itself, with minimum reliance on Monte Carlo
simulations. We describe new developments in ATLAS and CMS on such
data-driven techniques, and prospects for their application on first data.
