3     \subsection{Monte Carlo generators}
4     The signal and background samples for the full detector simulation
5     were generated with the leading order event generator PYTHIA~\cite{Sjostrand:2003wg}. To
6     accomodate NLO effect constant k-factors were applied.
7     Additionally the cross section calculator MCFM~\cite{Campbell:2005} was used to determine
8     the next-to-leading order differential cross section for the WZ
9     production process. To estimate the PDF uncertainty for the signal
10     process at NLO the NLO event generator MC@NLO 3.1~\cite{Frixione:2002ik} together with PDF set
11     CTEQ6M was used.
