[Hps] Second round of collaboration review of our first physics paper

[Field, R. Clive]

The work should be published. Congratulations on the fine effort.

There are a few things that I wondered about as I read it. Mostly they have been flagged by others, so here are some minor points.


Eq (1): I suppose people know what the symbol between the two sides of the equation means, but I don't, and I suspect a number of non-theorists won't.

At the end of para 2 in Event Selection, the timing cuts come out of the blue, and there's not a way to judge what they do to the signal as distinct from the background, as far as I can see. Similarly for other cuts.

At the end of the last para in Event Selection, "reasonable" is entirely subjective (except to reasonable people, of course!), and is a word I would avoid unless it's backed up by an illustrative plot or something else quantitative.

At the end of para 1 in Results, "power-constrained" is used. I'm not sure whether this might be considered too much like jargon, or might need a footnote.


Once again, good job.

-Clive

Dear all,

Apparently not everyone has an up-to-date account to access th econfluence page, so I am sending the draft in the attachment. Rules are the same you send your comments to the mailing list (hps at jlab.org<mailto:hps at jlab.org>) with your vote of approval.

Regards, Stepan

Dear HPS,

Draft of the 2015 resonance search paper is ready for the second round of review, see link below. All the comments received as of yesterday have been taken care. Please read and send additional comments you may have to the HPS mailing list (hps at jlab.org<mailto:hps at jlab.org>). This collaboration review period is for one week (according to our amended bylaws).

After one week, eob next Wednesday, July 25, a new, final version of the draft will be generated. According to our bylaws the final version must be approval by EC and PPC, and then collaboration will be asked to vote. But since we have been delayed enough and the draft has been around so long, I want to ask you to send your vote along with your comments, if any, or just a vote if no comments.

After all formalities are satisfied and collaboration voted in favor, paper will be posed on arxiv and will be sent to the target journal (PRD rapid communications).
