Hi Marcel,
I would have the following suggestions:
1) Remove 'Gaussian' from abstract. (What other standard deviation could it be? )
2) Add a sentence to give a feeling what S5 is, and at the same time use the occassion to state that a simple counting experiment gives consistent results (as shown in Suppl. Mat. in Fig. 5). How about:
"The value of S5 quantifies the asymetry between events with positive and negative value of cos theta_k for -pi/2<phi<+pi/2, averaged with the opposite assymetry of events with |phi|>3pi/2. This asymmetry as determined from a counting experiment is consistent with the asymmetry S5 determined from the fit."
(And perhaps we should suggest to add Fig.48 of the ANA to the Suppl.Mat!)
Cheers, Niels

Dear bfys-physics friend,This is to let you know that I collect comments to the paper below. To stimulate you to read it: we claim that the probability that the measurement is consistent with the Standard Model is only 0.5%. A local discrepancy of 3.7 sigma is observed.
