description: CERN-LHC. Measurement of the ratio of cross sections for inclusive isolated-photon production in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV over 8 TeV. Measurement is also presented of the double ratio of the ratio above to the ratio of the fiducial cross sections for Z boson production at 13 TeV and 8 TeV using the decay channels Z into an electron-positron pair and Z into a muon-antimuon pair. The ratio of cross sections for inclusive isolated-photon production is denoted by Rgamma13/8. The ratio of fiducial cross sections for Z boson production is denoted by RZ13/8. The double ratio (Rgamma13/8)/(RZ13/8) is denoted by Dgamma/Z13/8. The photon is required to have a transverse energy above 125 GeV and absolute value of pseudorapity |etaGamma|&lt;2.37, excluding the region 1.37 25 GeV, the lepton pseudorapidity |eta|&lt;2.5 and the dilepton invariant mass 66 &lt; mll &lt; 116 GeV. Measurements of the fiducial cross sections were made using the decay channels Z into e+e- and Z into mu+mu-, and combined for the final result. The measured RZ13/8 is 1.537 +- 0.001 (stat.) +- 0.010 (syst.) +- 0.044 (lumi.). Predictions for Rgamma13/8 are given at NLO QCD from the program Jetphox using the MMHT2014 NLO PDF set. Predictions for Dgamma/Z13/8 are obtained from the predictions of Rgamma13/8 at NLO QCD from Jepthox using the MMHT2014 NNLO PDF set and the predictions of RZ13/8 at NNLO QCD from Dyturbo using the MMHT2014 NNLO PDF set. Information about the bin-to-bin correlation of the systematic uncertainties of Rgamma13/8. The following uncertainties are to be treated as uncorrelated bin-to-bin: sysEnergyResolution13, sysEnergyResolution8, sysPhotonID13, sysPhotonID8, sysBackgroundIsolation13, sysBackgroundIsolation8, sysBackgroundIsolationUpperLimit13, sysBackgroundID13, sysBackgroundID8, sysIsolationMC13 and sysMCstats13. The systematic uncertainty due to the photon energy scale (sysEnergyScale) is partially correlated bin-to-bin; the table shows just the total systematic uncertainty due to the photon energy scale (separately for the up and down contributions). In order to take into account properly the correlations due to the photon energy scale, see the information provided below. The systematic uncertainty due to the photon energy scale (GES) is decomposed into 25 independent components. Each file (see below) contains 50 lines since for each independent component there are two variations (up and down). Each variation is to be treated as fully correlated bin-to-bin. The relative changes in the ratio Rgamma13/8 of the differential cross sections due to each variation are given in the following files. For the ratio Rgamma13/8 as a function of ETGamma for the range |etaGamma|&lt;0.6 is in the file decompositionsystematicuncertaintygesratio1stetabin.txt For the ratio Rgamma13/8 as a function of ETGamma for the range 0.6
