Hi Jeroen,
I just had a quick look at the paper. Below are my comments.
Cheers, Niels
Abstract -------- * [I strongly suggest to also mention the 5840 and 5960 resonances in the abstract, as they are discussed so prominently in the paper.] * "prominent in the high transverse momentum region" [of what? The bachelor pion I suppose? Would it need specification?]
1 Intro ------- L.7 "the total angular momentum of the light quark" [Isn't that the same as the spin of the light quark? How could a single quark have any other angular momentum?]
L.25 "Since the B* decays " -> "Since the B* meson decays "
L.33 [I appreciate the explanation of the nomenclature in L.11-14, but here you introduce a primed B'. Could you add that in the explanation?]
Fig.1 [I'd make the y-axis title smaller.]
3 Selection ------------ L.123 [Is the background from Bc decay negligible? If so, you could consider a sentence like:] "The background from $B_c^+$ mesons is negligible, due to the small production rate of $B_c^+$ mesons, and the fact that the decay $B_c^+\to B^0 \pi^+$ is Cabibbo suppressed \cite{LHCb-PAPER-2013-044}."
4 Fit model ------------ L.200 [What is l ? Perhaps it could be defined in L.6-L.12 ?]
5 Results --------- L.233 [What is ment with "alternative hyopotheses" ? Perhaps the explanation could be repeated then in the caption of Tab.3]
Tab.3 [The caption does not match the Table: the top quadruplet does not only contain 5840.]
Tab.3 [Do you understand why the width of the 5840 is incompatible between the B+pi- and B0pi+ final states?]
7 Interpretation ------------------ L.305+ [The ratio should be formatted bigger.]

Dear all,
As a reminder, the deadline is tomorrow. Did anyone read the paper already?
Cheers Jeroen

Dear all,
We have a paper to be reviewed by Nikhef. Unless somebody volunteers for this Friday morning, I propose to collect comments until Wednesday 7 January, combine them and circulate them before submission on Friday 9 January.
Best regards, Tjeerd
