Purity of the isolated photon sample as a function of transverse momentum for pp (red) and p–Pb (blue) data. The error bars represent statistical uncertainties only. The red shaded area represents systematic uncertainties in pp, while the blue empty boxes represent systematic uncertainties in p–Pb. The smooth lines correspond to a three-parameter error function fit to the data.

Detail description

The photon purity is calculated using the template fit method which uses a linear combition of signal template and background template to fit the shower shape distribution in data.
