Simulated events

 The total number of events simulated in different event classes can be found in table 8.2. To avoid any bias of the simulated events from unaccounted leptons in cascade decays, all decay channels have been left open for the t$\bar{t}$, jW, QCD-jet (jj) and continuum VV simulations. The cut on the transverse momentum of the hard scattering was 300 GeV for the background simulation and 100 GeV for the VV $\rightarrow$ VV scattering simulations.

 
Table: The number of simulated events for signal and background studies in the detection of a heavy Higgs signal. The Higgs signal processes are only simulated in the vector boson fusion channel. The cut in transverse momentum on the hard scattering process was 300 GeV for the background processes and 100 GeV for the VV $\rightarrow$ VV processes.
