Tailored to various experimental analyses by PHENIX, STAR and ALICE.


The file 'XYZ_P.dat' contains the LO, NLO and NNLO spectra of particle P corresponding to the analysis of arXiv:XYZ.

All predictions use an FF set based on arXiv:2202.05060 and the NNPDF4.0 (N)NLO PDF & alpha_s set (arXiv:1706.00428). The renormalisation, factorisation and fragmentation scales are all fixed to the identified hadron's transverse momentum.

All files contain columns of numbers representing, in this order, (brackets indicate the order of the PDF set)

left bin edge     right bin edge     LO (NLO)     LO (NLO) MC error     LO (NNLO)     LO (NNLO) MC error     NLO (NLO)     NLO (NLO) MC error     NLO (NNLO)     NLO (NNLO) MC error     NNLO (NNLO)     NNLO (NNLO) MC error

All spectra are given in the units pb/GeV^A, where A = 1 for transverse momentum spectra, A = 2 for invariant yields, etc. The bin edges are given in the units GeV^B.
