The experimental parameters, together with the number of antihydrogen events detected during the microwave irradiation, the laser irradiation and the release of the remaining atoms, are tabulated for each series. The machine-learning analysis identifies annihilation events with an estimated efficiency of 0.849 for the microwave irradiation, 0.807 for the laser irradiation and 0.851 for the release of the remaining atoms. The number of counts is corrected for the detection efficiencies. The number of trapped atoms is derived from the sum of the other counts.
