33. 2, we use a Gaussian approximation with correlations, see Eq. (31.14) in K. Hagiwara, et al., Review of Particle Properties, Phys. Rev. D 66 (2002) 010001, the normalization uncertainty contributed fully correlated terms in the covariance matrix; the energy-dependent uncertainties contributed terms uncorrelated between different energy bins but fully correlated between radial bins having common energies.
