+=== Herwig (Graeme, Christian) ===
+Preliminary results for Zbb production in the 5FS can be found on http://www.hep.man.ac.uk/u/graeme/public/LH_Vbb/preliminary/Zbb/
+  * Shown are the four matching-shower combinations of Herwig7, i.e.
+    - NLO $\oplus$ QTilde aka MCatNLO-based matching with the angular-ordered shower,
+    - NLO $\oplus$ Dipole aka MCatNLO-based matching with the dipole shower,
+    - NLO $\otimes$ QTilde aka Powheg-based matching with the angular-ordered shower,
+    - NLO $\otimes$ Dipole aka Powheg-based matching with the dipole shower.
+  * The uncertainty bands are purely from scale variations with respect to all scales in the hard sub-processes and in the shower, i.e. muR, muF (and the corresponding scales of  $\alpha_s$  and PDF arguments in the shower) and muQ (shower start scale).
+  * The central scale choice is a fixed scale (Z mass) at the moment for muR=muF=muQ.
+  * The PDF sets being used are the default PDF sets to which the showers are tuned, i.e. MMHT2014lo68cl and MMHT2014nlo68cl.
+  * The underlying hard process is  $p p \to e^+ e^- b \bar{b}$ , with  $b,​\bar{b}\in p$  and we cut on the final state b quarks by requiring at least two jets, with a min. pT of 18 GeV and 15 GeV for the first and second jet respectively.
+  * Statistics: 40k, unweighted.
+Preliminary results for Zb production in the 5FS can be found on http://www.hep.man.ac.uk/u/graeme/public/LH_Vbb/preliminary/Zb/
+  * Description: see the first four main bullet points above.
+  * The underlying hard process is  $p p \to e^+ e^- {b,​\bar{b}}$ , with  $b,​\bar{b}\in p$  and we cut on the final state b quark by requiring at least one jet, with a min. pT of 18 GeV for the first jet.
+  * We cut on the invariant mass of the charged-lepton pair, with a min. inv. mass of 60 GeV and a max. inv. mass of 120 GeV.
+  * Statistics: 100k, unweighted.
+Preliminary results for Zbb production in the 4FS can be found on http://www.hep.fsu.edu/~creuschle/public/.Plots_2016_LHVbb_Preliminary/plots_Zbb_4FS_MMHTnf5_BnotinJ_0Jet_NoBCut_WeightedOff_FixedScale/
+  * Shown is NLO $\oplus$ QTilde (MCatNLO-DefaultShower) and NLO $\otimes$ QTilde (Powheg-DefaultShower).
+  * Scale choices, scale variations and choice of PDF sets as described above.
+  * The underlying hard process is  $p p \to e^+ e^- b \bar{b}$ , with  $b,​\bar{b}\notin p$ . There are no cuts on the b quarks.
+  * We cut on the invariant mass of the charged-lepton pair, with a min. inv. mass of 60 GeV and a max. inv. mass of 120 GeV.
+  * We cut slightly on the charged leptons, with a min. pT of 5 GeV and a rapidity range between -4 and 4.
+  * Statistics: 100k, unweighted.
+Preliminary results for Wbb production in the 4FS can be found on http://www.hep.fsu.edu/~creuschle/public/.Plots_2016_LHVbb_Preliminary/plots_Wbb_4FS_MMHTnf5_BnotinJ_0Jet_NoBCut_WeightedOff_FixedScale/
+  * Shown is NLO $\oplus$ QTilde (MCatNLO-DefaultShower) and NLO $\otimes$ QTilde (Powheg-DefaultShower).
+  * The central scale choice is a fixed scale (W mass) at the moment for muR=muF=muQ.
+  * Scale variations and choice of PDF sets as described above.
+  * The underlying hard process is  $p p \to l \nu b \bar{b}$ , considering  $e^{\pm},​\mu^{\pm}\in l$ . There are no cuts on the b quarks.
+  * We cut on the transverse mass of the W, with a min. trans. mass of 20 GeV.
+  * We cut slightly on the charged lepton, with a min. pT of 5 GeV and a rapidity range between -4 and 4.
+  * Statistics: 100k, unweighted.
+Further studies on Zbb production in the 4FS, for a different PDF choice, can be found on https://www.itp.kit.edu/~reuschle/.Plots_2016_LHVbb_Preliminary/Zbb4FS/plots_NNPDFnf4_BnotinJ_0Jet_MCatNLO-DefaultShower_WeightedOn_Central/
+  * Shown is the NLO $\oplus$ QTilde aka MCatNLO-based matching with the angular ordered shower.
+  * No scale variations.
+  * The central scale choice is a fixed scale (Z mass) at the moment for muR=muF=muQ.
+  * The PDF set being used is NNPDF30_nlo_as_0118_nf_4.
+  * Statistics: 1M, weighted.
+Further studies on Wbb production in the 4FS, for varying PDF choices, can be found on https://www.itp.kit.edu/~reuschle/.Plots_2016_LHVbb_Preliminary/Wbb4FS/plots_AllPDFs_BinJ_1Jet_MCatNLO-DefaultShower_WeightedOff_Central/ or similarly for on https://www.itp.kit.edu/~reuschle/.Plots_2016_LHVbb_Preliminary/Wbb4FS/plots_AllPDFs_BnotinJ_0Jet_MCatNLO-DefaultShower_WeightedOff_Central/
+  * The difference between the two is that for one we require one jet (which may contain a b quark) with a certain min pT (first link), for the other we don't cut on the b quarks at all (second link).
+  * Shown is the NLO $\oplus$ QTilde aka MCatNLO-based matching with the angular ordered shower.
+  * No scale variations.
+  * The central scale choice is a fixed scale (W mass) at the moment for muR=muF=muQ.
+  * There is a choice of different PDF sets being used, i.e.
+    - MMHTnf5: MMHT2014lo68cl and MMHT2014nlo68cl,
+    - MMHTnf4: MMHT2014nlo68cl_nf4,
+    - NNPDFnf5: NNPDF30_lo_as_0118 and NNPDF30_nlo_as_0118,
+    - NNPDFnf4: NNPDF30_lo_as_0118_nf_4 and NNPDF30_nlo_as_0118_nf_4.
+  * Statistics: 100k, unweighted.
