• A change in kB-value has inverse effect <strong>for</strong> <strong>TDCR</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>CIEMAT</strong>/<strong>NIST</strong><br />

• Unweighted mean is robust against changes in kB<br />

• Applying both <strong>method</strong>s <strong>the</strong> model dependence can be<br />

reduced<br />

• Our analyses seem to favour kB=0.0075 cm/MeV<br />
