Twenty sets of simulated data. Each contains about 40 events of background that is flat in the horizontal variable (``putative Higgs particle mass'') and some contain a signal which is a peak comparable to the size of the expected Higgs particle signal. In each case the mass of the Higgs is chosen between 122 and 127 GeV/c-squared.
