The change induced in the average Bias-Left z position (δ‹z›L), the average Bias-Right z position (δ‹z›R), the difference in these positions (δ‹z›Δ), the sensitivity for the Bias-Left data (δsL), the sensitivity for the Bias-Right data (δsR) and the resulting charge (δQ) for systematic errors that produce errors in z of size εz and errors in the relative sensitivity εs. Temporal changes in εz and εs are assumed to occur between 2010 and 2011; N2011/NR is the fraction of Bias-Right events that occurred in 2011. Unaffected quantities are blank; the zeros in the Category D row emphasize that these errors have no effect on Q.
