Table 4.
Summary of contributions to the relative systematic uncertainty in (in %) at in 2015 and 2016. The systematic uncertainty is divided into groups affecting the description of the vdM profile and the bunch population product measurement (normalization), and the measurement of the rate in physics running conditions (integration). The fourth column indicates whether the sources of uncertainty are correlated between the two calibrations at
