Resonance particles, such as the K*(892) meson, are reconstructed from the invariant mass (M i n v ) distribution of possible particle pairs. To extract the yield with the highest precision, the combinatorial background must be determined as precisely as possible. An event-mixed M i n v distribution is often used to describe the combinatorial background. However, this distribution will not contain the mini-jet-like structures present inside an event. This analysis introduces a new re-weighing scheme, where two M i n v distributions of like-sign particles in the same-event and in mixed-events are used to correct the mixed-event background estimate for the mini-jet-like structure. Using PYTHIA 8.2 generated proton-proton collisions at s NN = 5.02 TeV, it is shown that the new method can be used to more accurately describe the combinatorial background.
