Dear Moritz, Matt and Dennis, This is a very interesting combination of a wealth of physics results! We realize this is a CONF note and not a paper, but given the interest this result might attract, a few things could need a word of explanation perhaps? Cheers, Niels on behalf of Nikhef/VU General/Questions ------------------ 1) We would like to keep the mentioning of the "robust result" consistent throughout. Now, "B(s)->D(s)K(*)" and "B->DK-like" are used. We would prefer the latter. 2) L.77/78 Q: Is there anything different from using the 3 fb-1 result as compared to using the 1+2 fb-1 results separately? Perhaps an extra sentence on the changes is interesting? 3) L.84 Q: It is not clear from the sentence whether the previous combination did _not_ include GLS, or only 1 fb-1 ? L.104 Same question for the GLW/ADS with K*0. L.110 Same question for TD DsK. Perhaps it is enough to put "using 3 fb-1" between brackets: "(using 3 fb-1)". 4) L.91-93 Q: "For the robust combination ... to cancel any information from the B->Dpi system." Could you maybe add in one sentence how the B->Dpi decays enter in the robust combination? 5) Ordering of Tables / Figures on pages 11-13: * Would Tab.3 and Tab.5 fit on the same page, to make the comparison easier? * Tab. 4 could fit on same page as Tab.2 ? * Would Fig.2 and Fig.3 fit on the same page? Abstract -------- L.2 "from time integrated" -> "from the time integrated" L.5 "K+pi-pi+pi-" has moved to the end of the line somehow. 1 Intro -------- L.35 "a low value of the ratio r_Dpi that is not away from zero at large enough significance, is" -> "a small value of the ratio r_Dpi that is not significantly different from zero, is" Tab.1 caption: "Ref. [1], they are" -> "Ref. [1]. They are" Tab.1 [Move to bottom of the page] 2 LHCb input ------------ L.63 "The full set of _measured_ observables is" L.65, L.72 [Sentence is unclear. How about:] " .... in the Appendix. The systematic correlations were not used before." L.70 "Equations 1-3" -> "Eqs. (1-3)" L.87 + 107 + 123 "statistical, the second is systematic." -> "statistical and the second is systematic." Eq.(34) "(syst),. " -> "(syst). " L.106 "for the observables" -> "for the measured observables" 3 Aux input ------------ L.134 "is very non-Gaussian" -> "is non-Gaussian" "It is used in a " -> "It is therefore used in a " L.144 "The ratio is calculated to be" 4 Results --------- Tab.2 [How about adding a title-row, like "Analysis" or "Decay", and "Obervables". Also for the lower half you could insert a title-row with "Experiments" and "Auxiliary input" or so.] L.186 "gamma=72.8 " -> "gamma=72.9" L.189 "At the 95% confidence level, both combinations agree very well." -> "The 95% confidence level intervals agree between both combinations." 5 Validation ------------ L.195 ", and a toy-based approach." -> ", and secondly, using a toy-based approach." L.200 "point to overly conservative systematic" -> "point to an overestimate of systematic"
