Biplab and Curtis,
  Looks great.  A few grammatical comments tagged by [page:column:paragraph:sentence]. 

Abstract:
- \"High statistics measurements\" --> \"High-statistics measurements\"
- \"300 MeV increase\" --> \"300-MeV increase\" if you want. 
- I don\'t think that \"forward- and backward-angles\" should be hyphenated.

[1:l:3:1] I think that \"high statistics\" should be hyphenated.

[1:r:1:2] \"forward-angles\" shouldn\'t be hyphenated.

[1:r:2:1] You might want to force the reaction to be all on one line with with {} inside of the math mode.

[1:r:2:3] You use \"c.m.\" before this instance.  Perhaps define it earlier?

[1:r:2:4] \"forward- and backward-angles\" shouldn\'t be hyphenated.

[2:l:2:1] \"... cross section data\" should be hyphenated.

[2:l:3:2&3] \"backward-angles\" should not be hyphenated.

[2:r:3:4] \", first, \" is awkward here.  There is no second, third, etc.  Only first and last.

[4:l:1:1] should there be commas around $t_{meas}$?

[4:l:2] I don\'t think that \"Cut-boundary\" should be hyphenated.

[5:l:3:2] \"$M(p\\pi^{-})$ invariant mass\" is redundant?  Doesn\'t M(p pi) mean the invariant mass of these two?  DO you need to explain the M() and MM() notation first?

[6:l:1:last] This isn\'t a complete sentence.  Could be \"Thus, the need for a more sophisticated background separation technique is obvious.\"

[6:r:1:penultimate] \"... the fits seemed stable.\"  Were the fits stable?  If so,  I\'d just say that they were stable.  \"Seemed stable\" calls into question the definition of \'stable.\"

[7:l:3:next to last] \"should have been there\" --> \"should have been present\"?

[8:l:2:2] \"between 4 to 6%\" --> \"between 4 and 6%\" or \"in the range of 4 to 6%\"

[8:l:2:last] Don\'t need quotes on \" \\\"run\\\"-wise\".  You\'ve already defined what a run is.

[10:r:3:last] \"backward-angles\" shouldn\'t be hyphenated.

[16:l:2] I don\'t think that \"Traditional\" should be capitalized.

[16:r:3:3] \"positive parity P13 state\" --> \"positive-parity P13 state\"

[18] Why is the caption so far from the image?

[19:Fig.15] \"forward-angles\" shouldn\'t be hyphenated.

[19:l:3] \"forward-angles\" and \"forward-scattering\" shouldn\'t be hyphenated.

[19:r:2:2] \"backward-angles\" shouldn\'t be hyphenated.

[19:l:3] \"forward-angles\" and \"backward-angles\" shouldn\'t be hyphenated.

[20:Fig.17] \"forward-angles\" shouldn\'t be hyphenated.

Thanks.
-Mike
