[Clascomment] OPT-IN:Differential cross section of gamma n --> K+ Sigma- on bound neutron with incident photons from 1 to 3.6 GeV

[Brian Raue]

Dear Sergio et al.,
As you recall, I was on the analysis review committee for this work.  You did an excellent job of analyzing the data--a data set that now represents the best and most complete coverage in the world.  However, I am concerned by how little the paper covers due to limitations of submitting it to PRL.  First, this shortchanges the work that went into the analysis as well as the possible physics that can be extracted from it. Second, I highly doubt that this paper will ever be accepted in to PRL. It isn\'t the first measurement and the impact of the work to a broader audience is highly dubbious.  I predict there will be many rounds of back-and-fourth with the editors and you will ultimately have to submit it elsewhere.

Why not save some time with the publishers, expand it a bit to add some breadth, and send it to PRC?  

Brian
