  1. The minimum and maximum values of the relative systematic uncertainties from individual sources for π±, K±, p+\(\overline{{{{\rm{p}}}}}\), \({{{{\rm{K}}}}}_{{{{\rm{S}}}}}^{0}\), and Λ +\(\overline{\Lambda }\) in pp collisions. Percentage ranges are given to account for variations with pT. The fields marked as “negl." (negligible) denotes that the uncertainties have been tested but are not statistically significant.
