Ordered list of the 30 systematic uncertainties with the largest impact on the measured signal normalisation in the fit to data in the parton-level measurement considered as nuisance parameters (NPs) in the profile-likelihood fit.

This table lists the kinematic requirements on particle-level objects used to define of the fiducial phase space for the particle-level measurement. The particle level objects are photons ($\gamma$) not from a hadron decay, neutrinos not from a hadron decay ($\nu$), prompt electrons and muons ($\ell$) "dressed" by adding close-by ($\Delta R < 0.1$) photons, and anti-$k_t$ $R = 0.4$ jets built from stable particles ($\tau > 30\,$ps) and tau leptons excluding neutrinos and prompt dressed muons. Jets are $b$-tagged ($b$-jet) using ghost-matched $b$-hadrons with $p_{\text{T}} > 5\,$GeV. Apart from the kinematic requirements, isolation and overlap removal criteria are applied. Jets within $\Delta R = 0.4$ of a photon are removed if the $p_{\text{T}}$ of charged particles within $\Delta R = 0.3$ of the photon is smaller than $10\,\%$ of its $p_{\text{T}}$. Jets within $\Delta R = 0.4$ of a lepton are removed. Events are removed where a photon is close ($\Delta R < 0.4$) to a lepton or a surviving jet. The measured fiducial particle-level cross section is $\sigma_{tq\gamma}\times\mathcal{B}(t\rightarrow l\nu b)+\sigma_{t(\rightarrow l\nu b\gamma)q} = 303\pm 9(\text{stat.})^{+33}_{-32}(\text{syst.})\,$fb.

Nuisance parameters ranked according to their post-fit impacts on the best-fit value of the ratio $\mu$ of the measured cross-section to the predicted cross-section. In the figure, only the 20 nuisance parameters with the largest post-fit impacts are shown. The empty (solid) blue rectangles illustrate the pre-fit (post-fit) impact on $\mu$, corresponding to the upper axis. The pre-fit (post-fit) impact of each nuisance parameter, $\Delta\mu$, is calculated as the difference in the fitted value of $\mu$ between the nominal fit and the fit when fixing the corresponding nuisance parameter to $\hat{\theta}\pm\Delta\theta$ ($\hat{\theta}\pm\Delta\hat{\theta}$), where $\hat{\theta}$ is the best-fit value of the nuisance parameter and $\Delta\theta$ ($\Delta\hat{\theta}$) is its pre-fit (post-fit) uncertainty. Several systematic uncertainties are split into different nuisance parameters, which are indicated by NP. JES (JER) indicates jet energy scale (resolution), and $\gamma$ indicates a nuisance parameter associated to the MC statistics in one of the 18 bins numbered from 0 to 17. The black points show the best-fit values of the nuisance parameters, with the error bars representing the post-fit uncertainties. Each nuisance parameter is shown wrt. its nominal value, $\theta_0$, and in units of its pre-fit uncertainty, except the free-floating normalisation factors of the $t\bar{t}$ and $W$+jets backgrounds, and the parameters associated to the MC statistics in each bin, for which the post-fit values and uncertainties are shown.
