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.<br>
Best wishes for a speedy trip through peer review,<br>
Axel<br>
<br>
- First paragraph, right column p1:<br>
I didn't find the description of the production time and formation time very clear.<br>
- It sounds like production is the time scale to go from colored to colorless.<br>
- Formation time is the time scale to go from colorless to fully dressed hadron<br>
<br>
Do I have that correct?<br>
<br>
Currently, you describe various actions as occuring "within the formation time"<br>
or "during the production time," implying that these tau's denote the maximum<br>
time by which these processes will finish. I think it might be better to say<br>
that these are the characteristic time scales over which the processes occur.<br>
Maybe that's too small a distinction to matter. But it would have helped me<br>
read the paragraph.<br>
<br>
- Line 63:<br>
"The hadronization studies..."<br>
Which studies? Do you mean studies in general? Would be fine to say:<br>
"Hadronization studies are thus performed..."<br>
<br>
<br>
- Line 87:<br>
"The variables nu, Q^2, z, and pT are defined in Fig. 1"<br>
That's not really fair. They are labelled in Fig. 1, but not defined.<br>
In my opinion, some additional definitions would be helpful.<br>
For example, Feynman xF is not really ever defined.<br>
<br>
- Line 141:<br>
"This inverted effect...in HERMES results, ..."<br>
This could be made easier to read, for example:<br>
"This inverted effect... observed at HERMES, ..."<br>
<br>
- Line 172:<br>
It would be helpful to clarify if this is per-nucleon or per-nucleus luminosity.<br>
<br>
<br>
- Line 176:<br>
You spell "Cherenkov" with a \u{C} character.<br>
If you want to use a Russian Romanization system with a caron-C instead of<br>
good old regular 'Ch', that's none of my business, but the correct LaTeX<br>
for that is \v{C}, not \u{C}.<br>
