[Clascomment] OPT-IN: Shrunken particles pass freely through nuclear matter

[Mikhail Osipenko]

Dear Authors of CT paper,

I have just one curiosity about the intriguing results of the presented paper:

was the rho meson produced inside the nucleus on the transverse plane? I could not find any plot of rho transverse momentum in your analysis note, so I tried to make an estimate myself (likely wrong) and from the indetermination principle I got an impact parameter~1/p_T something like 1 fm for the lowest Q2 point, rapidly increasing to 4.3 fm already at Q2=1.4 GeV2. I guess I am totally wrong (also because of lack of information), but a few words about this could strengthen the paper (now you have the discussion of the longitudinal dynamics only).

Best Regards,
                 Mikhail.
