59   \subsection{Signal and Background Monte Carlo samples}
60 + The signal monte carlo sample has been produced using PYTHIA
61 + generator. The decay for the \W has been forced to be in $e\nu_e or
62 + \mu\nu_{mu} or \tau\nu_{\tau}$ while the \Z is decaying into electrons
63 + or muons only.
64 +
65 + The main background that we have to consider are all final states
66 + having at least two isolated leptons from the same flavor and with
67 + opposite charge. The third one can be a real isolated lepton or a misidentified
68 + lepton. The probability to misidentify one isolated lepton is rather low, so
69 + this is why we can considere safely starting from two
70 + leptons. Moreover we will apply a cut on the invariant mass of the two
71 + leptons so most of the background remaining are:\\
72 + \begin{itemize}
73 + \item $W+jets$: $W$ boson will give us one isolated leptons. The probability that 2 additional jets will be misidentified as isolated lepton is very low and the criteria on the lepton invariant mass will definitely reduce such background. This channel is nevertheless useful to study other background for which data sample are not available such as $Wb\bar{b}$. The sample studied for this analysis, has been produced using ALPGEN generator per jet bin.
74 + \item $Z + jets$: $Z$ boson is commun between signal and background. The thrid isolated lepton can come from a misidentified lepton. The cross section of production of this channel is around 600 time the signal studied.The sample studied for this analysis, has been produced using ALPGEN generator per jet bin.
75 + \item $t\bar{t}$: top quark will decay to \W$b$ pair where each of the $W$ can decay via an isolated leptons. This leptons will have opposite charged. Even though combining the two leptons, we will not obtain a peak around the \Z mass, the cross section of this process is around 60 time the cross section of the signal studied. The sample studied for this analysis, has been produced using ALPGEN generator per jet bin. The third lepton will come from a semi leptonic decay of a $b$ quark which will be isolated.
76 + \item $Z + b\bar{b}$: the presence of $Z$ boson will select such events. Moreover due to the semi leptonic decay of a $b$ quark, a thrid lepton can be easily identified and consider as isolated. The sample used has been produced by COMPHEP generator.
77 + \item $ZZ$: the inclusive
