SCENE Collaboration, Note that in Column 2 of our Table 2, we need Leff,Kr83m for 200V/cm, that is, the nuclear recoil light yield at 200V/cm divided by the Kr83m at zero field. This is not tabulated in the SCENE paper. (Table II of this reference gives Leff,Kr83m at zero field.) For our Table 2, we use the 200V/cm data plotted in Fig. 8 of this reference. arxiv:1406.4825.
