Abstract
Many analyses at ATLAS deal with backgrounds due to “fake leptons”. These, fundamentally, are any objects which the detector mistakenly thinks are leptons. Various methods have been used throughout Run 1 to estimate the impact of these backgrounds, and I shall present an overview of the “matrix method”, the issues that have arisen with this method, and present an alternative.
