Request TypeSimulated background embedding (generator with real data as background for noise / pile-up studies)
DescriptionThis request will be used to estimate reconstruction efficiencies and background yields from electroweak processes for the Run 12 W analyses.  MC events from Pythia will be embedding in zerobias data from Run 12. 

Target lumi = 1000 pb-1 (roughly 10x Run 12 integrated luminosity)

Channels:
110K  :  W+ ->e+neutrino
110K  :  W+ -> tau+neutrino
35K    :  W- -> e+neutrino
35K    :  W- -> tau+neutrino
25K    :  Z/gamma*-> e+ e-
