Notes

  1. 1.

    The parton distribution function is used to described the probability to find a parton carrying a fraction x of the total momentum. Different parton distribution functions are realised by several collaborations.

  2. 2.

    The \(E_{\text {T}}^{\text {miss}}\) values used for the different slices are defined using the truth level information.
