Hi Jackson,
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I share the concern that the interpretation of J/psi photoproduction is currently under intense theoretical debate. Should we somehow acknowledge this?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am also concerned that we might overplay the excesses. The statistical significance of an excess in the sub-threshold region seems about 2 sigma. So "suggest an excess” in the abstract is maybe okay. However the conclusion, "and note an excess production
relative to theoretical predictions” seems too strong.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the discussion surrounding Fig. 3 the argument is that above threshold agrees and sub-threshold does not. My eyes see approximately the same level of disagreement, especially at larger α_miss. Did you look quantitatively at the agreement in Fig. 3?
Later it is mentioned that "is preferred by the data over the plane-wave”, is this a quantitative statement? Would we consider providing numbers for the level of agreement?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Minor</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>“utilizing”: I would prefer “using" here.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>"proton proton”: proton is repeated.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div>Mark</div>

Hello SRC-CT group members.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As discussed in this morning’s meeting, given the wrap-up of the internal J/ψ analysis review, I am emailing to distribute the draft of the manuscript “First Measurement of Near- and Sub-Threshold J/ψ Photoproduction off Nuclei” (along with the supplemental
material for the paper). Comments and questions regarding the analysis and the manuscript are appreciated and should be sent to me at (<a href="mailto:jrpybus@mit.edu">jrpybus@mit.edu</a>).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In addition, here is the google-form signup link for authorship to the paper, so please sign up now to be included as an author on the final paper:</div>
<div><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScx4u2554oJ7Go6Qgg9_gWqivcNkVfMhSAE2AGeUp-T_O7xVw/viewform?usp=sf_link">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScx4u2554oJ7Go6Qgg9_gWqivcNkVfMhSAE2AGeUp-T_O7xVw/viewform?usp=sf_link</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Comments on this draft would be appreciated by the end of this week, Friday, June 29.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards,</div>
