"Signal region (top-pass) (prefit)" of "Search for dark matter production in association with a single top quark in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV"

Prefit distributions of the magnitude of the hadronic recoil $R_{\mathrm{T}}$ in the SR (t-pass) and SR (t-fail). The last bin of each distribution also contains events with $R_{\mathrm{T}}$ > 1000 GeV. The distributions of background processes stem from simulation and are stacked together. A representative mono-top signal (vector coupling scenario) with a mediator mass of 1 TeV, a DM candidate mass of 150 GeV, and a cross section of 1 pb is overlaid as an orange line. The gray band represents the statistical and unconstrained systematic uncertainties in the simulated event yields.
