Tables listing the measured kaon fraction in ranges of pT

Measured kaon fraction around prompt Ds± and prompt D± in ranges of transverse momentum (pT) of the track found in the cone, 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 transverse momentum (pT) of the track found in the cone, 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 transverse momentum (pT) of the track found in the cone, 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).
