Tables listing the measured kaon fraction in ranges of Δy

Measured kaon fraction around prompt Ds± and prompt D± in ranges of the rapidity difference (Δy) between the D candidate and the track found in the cone along the direction of the D momentum axis, for the opposite sign charge combination. The kaon fraction is quoted as fK ± statistical error ± systematic error.

Measured kaon fraction around prompt Ds± and prompt D± in ranges of the rapidity difference (Δy) between the D candidate and the track found in the cone along the direction of the D momentum axis, for the same sign charge combination. The kaon fraction is quoted as fK ± statistical error ± systematic error.

Tables showing systematic uncertainties from various sources separately:

Measured kaon fraction around prompt Ds± and prompt D± mesons in ranges of the rapidity difference (Δy) between the D candidate and the track found in the cone along the direction of the D momentum axis, for the opposite sign charge combination. The first uncertainty is the statistical error (stat) followed by the systematic uncertainties due to sources such as: Effect of kaons decaying in flight (DIF), probability density functions used to separate prompt and secondary D components (PDF), calibration of Time-of-Flight and dE/dx distributions for particle identification (calib) and mis-identification of particle species (mis-ID).
