Plots and Data¶
We provide data with a consistent choice of units in order to compare in the plots below. Our choice of units:
The first column of each
csv
text file is given as \(\log_{10}(m_N/\mathrm{GeV})\)The second column of each
csv
text file is given as \(\log_{10}(|U_{\alpha N}|^2)\)
We also give the png
