Table 4.

Detailed list of the contribution from each source of uncertainty to the total uncertainty in the measured values of σfid(tq) and σfid(t¯q). The estimation of the systematic uncertainties has a statistical uncertainty of 0.3%. Uncertainties contributing less than 0.5% are marked with ‘<0.5
