The paper is well-written.  There are a few spacing issues with punctuation that an editor will catch.  However, \"data\" is used as a singular noun in three instances.

\"this data\" should be \"these data\" or \"this data set\".  This occurs in the text and in a caption.

\"data has been\" needs to be \"data have been\"

Top of the page, second column on page 4:  This is confusing.  The energy of the A-2 system (NN correlation) is
ptot^2/(2M_(A-2)), but then you talk about a 3N correlation with, presumably the energy of the residual A-3 system as
ptot^2/(2M_p).  Why isn\'t this ptot^2/(2M_(A-3))?   Don\'t you mean to say that ptpt^2/(2M_(A-2)) = ptot^2/(2M_p) for A=3,
therefore a large ptot NN correlation for A=3 is hard to distinguish from a 3N correlation with all nucleons sharing the momentum?
