Abstract
To investigate theories beyond the Standard Model, Monte Carlo simulations are utilized to model particle collisions and glean valuable information to inform searches for exotic particles. In our search for the doubly charged Higgs Boson, we seek to validate the accuracy of our Monte Carlo simulations with this study. Specifically, events with two leptons are analyzed in-depth, serving as a control region due to the minimal signal. The current plots demonstrate the robustness of the Monte Carlo simulations with a strong agreement in the background shapes overall. Additionally, the study reveals areas for improvement such as the event scaling and normalization and ensures the search for the doubly charged Higgs Boson proceeds successfully.
