In the last YETI school we illustrated this in the practical sessions by 
running a Z mass analysis with or without taking the extra QED radiation 
into account, and looked at the difference this made when we simulated 
with or without adding QED radiation. So if this would be what you are 
looking for, I can dig out these plots.
