Dear all,
Please send me your comments by Wednesday morning. (I attach already my comments, with Wouters coments on the J/psi constraints already added.).
My main points are below; let me know if you know the answers already...
Cheers, Niels
General ------- * Given the similarities with the Bc->KKpi analysis, was it considered to merge the two analysis in one paper?
Questions --------- 1) L.11 Is there a paper you can refer to concerning the sensitivity to the Beyond the Standard Model physics?
2) L.70/71 We do not understand what the different production fractions have to do with the fiducial cuts?
3) L.167 We tried to get a back-of-the-envelop limit: if you measure 0 events, then the upper limit is ~4 events? Then we get the limit : (eff_u/eff_c)*(4/1644)*BR(B+) = 6 x 10^-9, rather than 3.6 x 10^-8 ?
4) L.167 Did you use the J/psi mass constraint and/or known J/psi lineshape to achieve optimal sensitivity in the Rp^J/psi limit?
5) Fig.5 Why would you plot p-values for negative Rp values ?

Dear all,
We have a paper for Nikhef to comment on. Please volunteer to introduce it. We may discuss it after Vasileios' presentation on Friday 5 February.
Best regards, Tjeerd

Dear Colleagues,
A draft paper is available for your comments:
