[Clas_cascades] Comments on the response to committee

[Elton Smith]

Hi Hovanes,

I have a few comments to your responses to the committee:

#22 next to last sentence

...increase. That RESULTS IN A VERY SMALL DECREASE in the experiment 
sensitivity.

#35, last sentence, addition

...Therefore, simulating events that do not contain a cascade, and whose 
distributions are unknown, would not be very useful.

#50 last two sentences. To clarify you could replace with these 
sentences, if accurate:


We integrate over the efficiency e, and use GSIM to estimate e_m. We set 
the uncertainty in e, sigma_e, to the systematic uncertainty 26% of our 
measurement.

#53. I assume the question is about the Xi-pi- event spectrum. The 
non-zero background is simply the rate of events that include a Xi- and 
a pi- in the same event, but are not the result of a resonance state.

That's all. Nice job. Elton.
