Indeed, for each A value, the corresponding yield is the sum over all the
isobars (i.e., the sum over Z for fixed A). Thus, this first distribution
is gotten from the third table adding up the elements belonging to the
same line.

No fixed A, but for each Z sum over all the produced isotopes (i.e., sum
over A for fixed Z). In this case the distribution is gotten from the
third table adding up the elements belonging to the same column (for H,
you have only 1H, 2H, and 3H).

Actually not the index, but the header.

Ciao!
