provides the list of parameters used in these simulations, together with the range of values explored.

Summary of the parameters included in our simulations. For each entry, we give the range of values explored and reference to the relevant publication.

Cluster redshift $z_{\rm c}$	0.1-0.8
Survey strategy	GTC/EMIR	FOV = $6\hbox {$^\prime $ }\times 6\hbox {$^\prime $ }$ ,	pix: $0.2\hbox{$^{\prime\prime}$ }/\rm pixel$ ,	depth: $\Delta z=1$	Garzón et al. (2007)
	JWST/NIRCam	FOV = $2.2\hbox {$^\prime $ }\times 2.2\hbox {$^\prime $ }$ ,	pix: $0.06\hbox{$^{\prime\prime}$ }/\rm pixel$ ,	depth: $\Delta z=1$	Rieke et al. (2005)
	HST/NICMOS	FOV = $0.85\hbox {$^\prime $ }\times 0.85\hbox {$^\prime $ }$ ,	pix: $0.2\hbox{$^{\prime\prime}$ }/\rm pixel$ ,	depth: $\Delta z=1$	Thompson (1998)

Notes. LF(a) is the same as in Steidel et al. (1999), but $\Phi^*$ is a factor of 3 smaller (see Sect. 2.1.1).
