[Clascomment] OPT-IN: Data analysis techniques, differential cross sections and spin density matrix elements for the reaction gamma p -> phi p

[Daniel Carman]

Biplab et al.,

I have read through the draft of the phi paper. Quite a nice piece of work and
a nicely written paper. My comments below are referenced to the paper dated Feb. 6.  
Let me know if you have any questions.


				        Regards,
