Table 2.

Systematic uncertainties in both the searches for ZJ/ψγ and HJ/ψγ. In the ZJ/ψγ search, the uncertainties are averaged over all categories. The numbers for uncertainties in the integrated luminosity, theoretical uncertainties, detector simulation and reconstruction correspond to the changes in the expected number of signal and resonant background events. The numbers for the uncertainties in the signal model correspond to the effect on the mean and width of the Gaussian component of the signal models resulting from the object momentum resolutions
