[Clascomment] OPT-IN:The center of mass motion of short-range correlated nucleon pairs studied via the A(e, e'pp) reaction

[Daniel Carman]

Dear SRC folks,

I have read through your draft of your short range correlation paper that is
now posted for review 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
