[Jef] [EXTERNAL] Re: Abstract for CAP Congress 2021

[Susan Schadmand]

Dear Jon,

I have some suggestions/comments:

The motivation sounds a bit unfamiliar and readers might not get some of 
the statements, like

  *   'unique combination of additive quantum numbers' and 'relative
    ease of production'
      o My point is that to a more general audience it is not clear what
        you mean here, why is that and what does it do for the cause.

  *   Also, I think it should be 'light quark mass ratio' instead of
    'strange-to-light-quark mass ratio Q'
      o   the strange quark is considered light.

  * In general, the abbreviations BSM, CVPC, and Q are unnecessary here,
    as the text does not use them further.

  * 'The GlueX spectrometer at Je
fferson Lab off
ers a high-statistics
    sample of photoproduced  mesons and a unique degree of forward
    boosting in the lab frame (p ... 8 GeV) to suppress backgrounds.'
      o   You should say a number for the produced/expected eta decays
        when talking about the 'offered' statistics. By offered you mean
        with the present setup?
      o You need to explain: What is unique about the forward boosting?
        Why that suppresses background (btw, a word to be used as a
        singular noun).
      o Again, this sentence does not make it clear what your message is.

  * 'improve the granularity and resolution of the inner forward
    calorimeter to improve sensitivity in key decay channels.'
      o Better to say that this requires the planned upgrade ... Details
        of that do not belong in the abstract.

  * 'the current status of eta detection with the GlueX spectrometer'
      o eta _detection_ cannot be an issue for the GlueX detector. What
        is your message here, what are you actually going to present?

Best,
Su.
