Nice paper, thank you. Here are some comments:
- line 245, why single out pronouns and deuteron scatterings only? CLAS12 runs with a variety of polarized and unpolarized targets, and its performance is not target dependent.
- line 255, the forward detector coverage starts at 5 degrees, not 0 degrees.
- line 269, it is better to spell it out “proton” instead of “p”. The \ Lambda decay channel is introduced a few lines below.
- lines 281 and 282, statements “within 12.5 cm” and “excluding the beamline and target exit window,” unclear. The target is 5 cm, so any interval of 12.5 cm will include the target windows. Maybe it should be “excluding the scattering chamber exit window”?
- Fig.3 and Eq.(15), the plot in the figure represents D_{LL’sig}, before background correction, is not it? The Y-axis label says D_{LL’}^\Lambda.
