Abstract

We correct an error in the implementation of the rapidity range for the ALICE data included in NNFF1.1h [1], which affects our determination of unidentified charged-hadron fragmentation functions. In [1] we presented NNFF1.1h, a new determination of unidentified charged-hadron fragmentation functions (FFs). To provide stringent constraints on the extractions of the FFs, we included various pp (and pp¯) measurements from Tevatron (CDF [2, 3]) and the LHC (CMS [4, 5] and ALICE [6]). The covered rapidity range for ALICE data is |η|<0.8, as reported in [1]. However, we found a mistake in our implementation which translated into an erroneous rapidity range of |η|<1. We have now corrected this error and we have repeated the analysis presented in [1]. Though the error affects all figures and tables shown in [1] (Tables 1, 2, 3 and Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), as reported below, we find that the impact of the wrong rapidity bound in the ALICE data is marginal and does not modify the conclusions of [1]. (Table presented.) (Table presented.) (Table presented.) The data set included in the NNFF1.1h analysis. For each hadron collider experiment, we indicate the publication reference, the centre-of-mass energy s, the number of data points included after (before) kinematic cuts Ndat, the χ2 per number of data points before (after) reweighting, χin2/Ndat(χrw2/Ndat), the number of effective replicas after reweighting, Neff, and the modal value of the P(α) distribution in the range α∈[0.5,4], argmaxP(α).
