Understand

Undisputedly, derivation of theoretical systematic uncertainties is an inseparable ingredient of any robust analysis dealing with experimental data.

However, it is not uncommon, even for those analyses that use state of the art methods and tools to suffer from insufficient statistics when it comes to the simulated datasets used to estimate systematic uncertainties.
This practically limits the power, and sometimes the robustness of the analysis.
In this paper, we present SysCalc, a code which is able to derive weights for various important theoretical systematic uncertainties, including those related to the choice of the Parton Distribution Function sets and the various scale choices.
