Table 1.

The relative uncertainties in σtt¯vis and σtt¯ and their sources, as obtained from the template fit. The uncertainty in the integrated luminosity and the MC statistical uncertainty are determined separately. The individual uncertainties are given without their correlations, which are however accounted for in the total uncertainties. Extrapolation uncertainties only affect σtt¯. For these uncertainties, the ± notation is used if a positive variation produces an increase in σtt¯, while the notation is used otherwise
