comment: Covariance matrices among parameters of interest (POIs) and nuisance parameters
  (NPs). The lists of postfit values and uncertainties for POIs and NPs are also included
  for each matrix. The convention adopted to name POIs and NPs in the tables is reported
  in glossary_nuisAndPois.txt. Note that for each of the 3 fits detailed in the paper
  (double-differential cross section, helicity with floating POIs, and helicity with
  fixed POIs), the postfit values of NPs and their mutual correlations do not change
  across different tables. This material is also available in root format from the
  public page of the analysis (check link attached as additional resources).
