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

[Daniel Carman]

Jim,

Thanks for looking at the updates. Note that the work to address the comments from the Collaboration
review period is not done. The lead authors are still working on comments received. There will be another
updated draft coming shortly.

Regards,
Daniel

Dear all,

personally I agree to the changes. However, Daniel will of course give the overall review committee position.

Best regards,
   Jim

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)

Dear authors,
Congratulations on this result. I enjoyed reading your manuscript. I have some very minor comments, which I hope are helpful, and which you may ignore if they are not.
Best wishes for a speedy trip through peer review,
Axel

- First paragraph, right column p1:
  I didn't find the description of the production time and formation time very clear.
        - It sounds like production is the time scale to go from colored to colorless.
        - Formation time is the time scale to go from colorless to fully dressed hadron

        Do I have that correct?

        Currently, you describe various actions as occuring "within the formation time"
        or "during the production time," implying that these tau's denote the maximum
        time by which these processes will finish. I think it might be better to say
        that these are the characteristic time scales over which the processes occur.
        Maybe that's too small a distinction to matter. But it would have helped me
        read the paragraph.

- Line 63:
        "The hadronization studies..."
        Which studies? Do you mean studies in general? Would be fine to say:
        "Hadronization studies are thus performed..."


- Line 87:
        "The variables nu, Q^2, z, and pT are defined in Fig. 1"
        That's not really fair. They are labelled in Fig. 1, but not defined.
        In my opinion, some additional definitions would be helpful.
        For example, Feynman xF is not really ever defined.

- Line 141:
        "This inverted effect...in HERMES results, ..."
        This could be made easier to    read, for example:
        "This inverted effect... observed at HERMES, ..."

- Line 172:
        It would be helpful to clarify if this is per-nucleon or per-nucleus luminosity.


- Line 176:
        You spell "Cherenkov" with a \u{C} character.
        If you want to use a Russian Romanization system with a caron-C instead of
        good old regular 'Ch', that's none of my business, but the correct LaTeX
        for that is \v{C}, not \u{C}.
