Table 2.

List of systematic uncertainties for the combined mass extraction. The signs of the shifts (δx=xvariation-xnominal) correspond to the +1 standard deviation variation of the systematic uncertainty source. For linear sums of the uncertainty groups, the relative signs have been considered. Shifts determined using dedicated samples for the systematic variation are displayed with the corresponding statistical uncertainty
