Dear Authors, 

thanks for this interesting and very well written paper.
Below only a few minor suggestions.

Best regards, 
Luciano

Pag. 1

line 51: "(vertical axis in Fig. 1)," 
          -> ", i.e. along the vertical axis in Fig. 1,"

Pag. 2

line 53: attach semicolon to "[5, 17]"

Fig. 3: use the same symbols for the angles (theta and phi) used in the text.
        The same comment applies also to figures 9 and 16.

Pag. 6
******
Fig. 5: what is the origin of the other (lower) concentration in the top figure?
        Is this due to kaons or protons? Please specify at least in the caption.

lines 13-14: I would skip "the complexity of the geometry and to"
             What that means?

line 35: "criterion uses" -> "criterion useD"

Fig. 14 is motivated as a zoom of Fig. 13 in the low -t region "for a better visualization" . However, the zoom is too "strong" to be useful to compare the 
results of the two experiments (CLAS & HALL-C), as the CLAS data are out of the 
plot in most of the bins and only one CLAS point appears in the remaining bins. 
I propose to relax a bit the zoom (at least up to -t=1.0, or better 1.5).
