generator level cuts applied in the production of VV scattering events

general comments

• For the Phantom case, not active selections are not reported.
• The installation of Phantom at CERN is described here: /afs/cern.ch/work/b/ballest/public/phantom_at_cern.tar.gz
• The new version of Phantom with the DR(jj) cut can be downloaded from here: /afs/cern.ch/work/b/ballest/public/
• some code to handle LHE files can be found here
• config files for the production can be found here
