[Clascomment] OPT-IN: Differential cross sections and spin density matrix elements for the reaction gamma p --> p omega

[Mike Williams]

Hi Marco,

I agree w/ you that it'd be nice to have the 2 papers 
back-to-back in the same journal.  So, I guess we need to pick which one 
and then email the editor once they're submitted to see if that's possible 
(I don't see why it wouldn't be). Thanks for the suggestion...we'll try 
and make it happen.

Cheers,

Mike

I don\'t know the PRC publication policy so much to judge whether they would accept the PWA paper as a separate paper, but wouldn\'t it be much better to have data and physics appearing back-to-back on the same journal ? What\'s the rationale behind sending the two papers to two different journals ? The journal policy, other reasons of opportunity ?
