Abstract

[At this point all the predictions are finalized and the systematic errors estimated. The Far Detector data is ready to be analyzed, but before doing that it is useful to test the decomposition and the extrapolation processes in a sample that is devoid of a significant amount of signal events, in order to make one last check for weaknesses or failures in the analysis. Three particular samples are used as Far Detector sidebands.]
