Fit input

Note: The photon energy moments listed are only use in the global fit with Xsgamma constraint.

Table 1. The list of the moment measurements that form the basis for the combined fit. The symbol 'n' indicates the order of the moment while 'c' indicates the value of the minimum lepton or photon energy (in GeV) with which the moments are measured.
