[Clascomment] OPT-IN: Beam-Target Helicity Asymmetry E in K0Lambda and K0Sigma0 Photoproduction on the Neutron

[Daniel Carman]

Dear Reinhard et al.,

I have read through your draft of the g13 paper on the E asymmetry in KY
photoproduction and include my comments below. Most of what I have provided
below will serve to improve the grammar and readability of the paper. If you
have any questions, let me know.

Regards,
Daniel

   - Line 6. Use "... isospin $I=0$ and $I=1$ photo-coupling ...".

 - Line 54. Use "($\Delta^*$ excitations)".

Page 2:
 - Line 56. Use "$I=1/2$".
 - Line 6 after labeled line 76. Given definition in Eq.(1), I suggest that you use
   "... difference in photoproduction yield between anti-parallel ($\sigma^A$)
    and parallel ($\sigma^P$ configurations, ...".

 - Line 110. Use "0.9~T".
 - Line 127. Use "$\gamma n \to \pi^- p$" to be consistent with listings elsewhere.
 - Line 132. Use "... larger yield of the signal events and ...".
 - Line 153. Use "... cooling wires and polychlorotrifluoroethylene (pCTFE) - dilute ...".
