OPT-IN: Differential cross sections and polarization observables from the CLAS Kâ photoproduction and search for new Nâ states

[Igor Strakovsky]

Dear Ken, Alexey, Eberhard, Viktor, and Andrey,

Thank you very much for a good piece of physics.  It is difficult to write comments after Dan Carman.  

My main concern is not about physics.  I do not think that Alexey can be the first author of the CLAS experimental paper. He did nothing for analysis, did not take shifts and so 
on.   Sorry, Alexey, nothing personal.  My suggestion is that Ken (corresponding author) 
or his student must be the first.  

Then back to physics...

1) pg 1, left, 1st phrase: "The threshold...": I do not think that this phrase does make any sense - please rephrase it

2) pg 1, left 3rd phrase: This statement is wrong.  Then I disagreed with the Volker's position which is a misinterpretation of our GW SAID results (latest PWA of piN elastic scattering data).  Our position is solid - there is no evidence to support P11(1710).
You have to rephrase or skip it.

That is all by now,
Igor
