Systematic uncertainties in the measurement of charged-particle spectra, RpPb, and Yasym

Source Uncertainty (%)
Trigger efficiency 1.0
Momentum resolution 1.0
Particle species composition 1–10.0 (0.5–5)
Track misreconstruction rate 1.0
Track selection 1.2–4.0
Spectra relative normalization 0.0–1.0
Trigger bias 0.0–4.0
Total (spectra) 2.2–10.9
pp interpolation 12.0
Total (RpPb) 12.2–16.2
TpPb average nuclear thickness 4.8
Total (Yasym0.3<|ηCM|<0.8) 2.0–3.0
Total (Yasym0.8<|ηCM|<1.3) 2.0–5.0
Total (Yasym1.3<|ηCM|<1.8) 2.0–5.0

The ranges quoted refer to the variations of the uncertainties as a function of pT. Values in parentheses denote the negative part of the asymmetric uncertainty where applicable. The total uncertainties of the measured pPb and the interpolated pp spectra, as a function of pT, are shown in the lower panel of Fig. 3
