1. WS=Whizard StdHep, MH=MG5_aMC@NLO HepMC, DR=Delphes Root, DRi=lepton isolation, DRij=multijet, GL=Geant4 LCIO
2. WS: Whizard 1.95/2.6.4 for DBD/MC20. DR: Delphes 3.4.2 with DSiD card. GL: ILCSoft v02-00-02 with SiD o2_v3.
3. With DBD files, you must use Event.Weight. Background processes are identified by Event.ProcessID.
4. As of March 2022, samples are no longer available by FTP or wget, but can be obtained through other means.
