[Clascomment] OPT-IN:Measurement of Nuclear Transparency Ratios for Protons and Neutrons

[Daniel Carman]

Dear SRC folks,

I have read through your draft of your latest short range correlation paper 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

General:
 - You are not consistent with your verb tenses throughout. In general, you should be
   writing in the past tense when describing your analysis. I have tried to capture this
   below.

Page 1:
 - Left column:
   - Paragraph 1.
     - Line 19. Use "... calculations of nuclear reactions.".
   - Paragraph 3.
     - Line 34. Use "Here $A$ represents ...".
     - Line 35. You do not mention the tin target here but mention it on the next page as one of your
       solid targets. The reader might wonder why this important point between iron and lead was
       apparently available but the results not quoted.
 - Right column:
   - Paragraph 1.
     - Line 43. Here is the only place in the paper where you are not consistent with speed of light
        units.

   - Paragraph 3.
     - Line 70. Spurious space between "project" and "[3]".

   - Paragraph 4.
     - Second line. Use "... with $A$ nucleons ...".
