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

[Curtis A. Meyer]

You just need to add a note to the editor that you would like them to be 
published
back-to-back. The original thinking was that the PWA was more typical 
for a PRD
paper, while the cross section is more typical for PRC. However, I have 
no strong
preference for which Journal we choose.
