[Clascomment] OPT-IN: A comparison of forward and backward pp pair knockout in 3He(e, e'pp)n

[Luciano Pappalardo]

Dear Authors, 

thanks for this interesting paper.

Below some minor comments/suggestions:


ABSTARCT: end of line 5: "measured" -> "investigated the process"

93: "p_thresh=0.275": Is this threshold really so sharp? 
     What is the uncertainty on this value?

109: "Measurements of" -> "Measurements of the process"
 
109: "studied" -> "allowed to study"

110: "was absorbed on" -> "is absorbed by"

111: "belonged" -> "belong"

112: "disintegrateS"

114: "of the other two nucleons" -> "of the nucleon pair"

115: skip "quantities"

138: "Compared to A nucleon"

172: "measured" -> "studied the process"

172: "The" -> "the"

187: "eliminated THE EFFECTS OF interactions"

190: Begin the new sentence with: "The cross section of H(..."

199: "using missing mass" -> "using a missing mass cut" 
      or "using the missing mass technique"

Caption of Fig.2: last  line: "show THE quasielastic"

207: "1.5 GeV2. w is" -> "1.5 GeV2 while w is"

208: "close to THE quasielastic"

Fig. 4:  figure is a bit too small. 
         Caption (3rd line): avoid repetition of "mechanism"

248: "as the experiment" -> "as for the experimental data"

FIG. 5: try to postpone after its mention on the text (line 293).
        Caption: for a better logic flow, move the whole sentence 
        "The theoretical calculations ...isotropic" 
        right before point b), after "[20-23]".

FIG. 6: too small -> enlarge figure

FIG. 7: too small -> enlarge figures and put one on top of the other

406: "unsurprising" -> "not surprising"
