Generate samples using different MC's and merge 0- and 1- jet bin.

• Make gg⇒ZZ and gg⇒ZZ+jet inclusive samples which contain off-shell Higgs Effects
• Make gg⇒WW and gg⇒WW+jet inclusive samples which contain off-shell Higgs Effects

• Merge VBFNLO results using Pythia 8,
• Generate 4l, 2mu 2e samples (ZZ) and 2l+MET and 2l + 2q (WW) samples

• Check the merged sample through a kinematic discriminant based on LO matrix element and see the impact/effect of higher multiplicities.
