[PRad] [EXTERNAL] Re: A new exclusion limit

[gasparan at jlab.org]

  Hi Rafo and All,

 There are several things that we have to take the NA64 results very
 carefully: (a) if I am not wrong, there exclusion plot does not have
 the epsilon parameter directly on the y-axis. One needs to recalculate
 it (needs to be checked). (b) they have an assumption that the A' is
 invisible in the first colorimeter (Rafo's point below). (c) another
 assumption that they are able to resolve two EM showers within a 1 mm
 distance needs a serious scrutiny.
