[Clascomment] [EXTERNAL] Re: OPT-IN: First Measurement of Lambda Electroproduction off Nuclei in the Current and Target Fragmentation Regions

[Lamiaa El Fassi]

Dear Axel and Adhoc Committee,

@ Axel: Thank you for reviewing our paper. Please see our answers to your
comments in the attached file tagged with your initials along with the
paper that was slightly modified to adopt some suggestions, which are
highlighted in bold for easy tracking. We hope you will be satisfied with
this reply.

@ Adhoc Committee: Daniel, Florian, and James,

I believe if Axel is satisfied, we will adopt the highlighted
changes assuming, of course, you are fine with them too.

Please let us know at your earliest convenience.
Best,

Lamiaa (for the Lead Authors)
