  1. Relevant parameters of the three decay functions as obtained from the global fitting procedure (see Supplementary B for formulas of the decay functions). Uncertainties represent a confidence level of 95%. In addition to the parameter and its value, the rightmost column indicates the DAS corresponding to the decay function.
