Although the value obtained in the validation plot is somewhat smaller, the difference is due to the fact that the official CMS value includes an optimization of the mass cut (signal regions). When compared to the fast simulation curve from https://arxiv.org/pdf/1502.02522.pdf the efficiencies/upper limits agree within 8%."
