Values of $N^{EXP}_{coll}$ versus $p_{T}$ as defined in Eq. 2 for three d+Au event classes, (a) $0\%–100\%$, (b) $0\%–5\%$ and (c) $60\%–88\%$. Also shown are fits to the data (solid lines) and the corresponding value $N^{GL}_{coll}$ (dashed lines).

Panels (d) to (f) show the nuclear modification factors $R^{\pi^{0}}_{dAu,EXP}$, calculated with Eq. 3, for the same event selections as in (a) to (c) together with fits to the data, (d) $0\%–100\%$, (e) $0\%–5\%$ and (f) $60\%–88\%$.

The Ratio $N^{EXP}_{coll}/N^{GL}_{coll}$ as a function of $N^{EXP}_{coll}$. Horizontal and vertical bars are the statistical uncertainties. The values for $0\%–100\%$ d+Au collisions are represented by a solid blue line, with the statistical uncertainty given as band. The scale uncertainties that are common to all data points are shown for the $0\%–100\%$ value.

Average $R^{\pi^{0}}_{dAu,EXP}$ as a function of $N^{EXP}_{coll}$. Horizontal and vertical bars are the statistical uncertainties. The values for $0\%–100\%$ d+Au collisions are represented by a solid blue line, with the statistical uncertainty given as band. The scale uncertainties(16.5%) that are common to all data points are shown for the $0\%–100\%$ value.

Average $R^{\pi^{0}}_{dAu,EXP}$ as a function of $N^{EXP}_{coll}$. Horizontal and vertical bars are the statistical uncertainties. The values for $0\%–100\%$ d+Au collisions are represented by a solid blue line, with the statistical uncertainty given as band. The scale uncertainties($16.5\%$) that are common to all data points are shown for the $0\%–100\%$ value. The systematic uncertainties on $N^{EXP}_{coll}$, $\approx16\%$, are dominated by uncertainties on the p+p data set and thus are a common scale uncertainty for all d+Au event classes.

The performance of jet energy resolution (JER) for jets with |y| < 2.1 evaluated as a function of pT_truth in different centrality bins. Simulated hard scatter events were overlaid onto events from a dedicated sample of minimum-bias Xe+Xe data. The fit parameters are listed in a sperate table (Extras 1)
