The Ne flux $\Phi$ as a function of rigidity at the top of AMS in units of $[{\rm m}^2 \cdot {\rm sr} \cdot {\rm s} \cdot {\rm GV}]^{-1}$ including errors due to statistics (stat.); contributions to the systematic error from the trigger and acceptance (acc.); the rigidity resolution function and unfolding (unf.); the absolute rigidity scale (scale); and the total systematic error (syst.).

The neon to magnesium flux ratio Ne/Mg as a function of rigidity including errors due to statistics (stat.); contributions to the systematic error from the trigger, acceptance, and background (acc.); the rigidity resolution function and unfolding (unf.); the absolute rigidity scale (scale); and the total systematic error (syst.). The statistical errors are the sum in quadrature of the ratios of neon and magnesium flux statistical errors to the corresponding flux values, multiplied by the Ne/Mg flux ratio. The systematic errors from the background subtraction, the trigger, and the event reconstruction and selection are likewise added in quadrature. The correlations in the systematic errors from the uncertainty in nuclear interaction cross sections, the unfolding and the absolute rigidity scale between the neon and magnesium fluxes have been taken into account in calculating the corresponding systematic errors of the Ne/Mg flux ratio. The contribution of individual sources to the systematic error are added in quadrature to arrive at the total systematic uncertainty.
