Event generation refers to the computer-based simulation of events, usually using the Monte Carlo method and an event generator.
Choice of event weight normalisation
There are basically four different choices to normalise event weights ($\langle \cdots \rangle$ denotes the average):
1. meaning that 2. meaning that 3. meaning that 3. meaning that
