Hi Marcel,
I missed the meeting. Here's what I have noted
title: The CERN-PH number cannot be right L.17-20: why the parentheses (Bbar), (K*bar) ? I guess this is copied from the previous paper but not needed here. Table 1: why so early? L. 184: That should be a new paragraph. L. 200: This gets me suspicious. Why are the fit values not identical? "With Ref [8]." -> "With those of Ref [8]." References: check the all and use the template. [5]: backword? [13] and [15] : Augusto is not spelled the same way. [17]: Get that from the template to have Sjöstrand correct. Fig. 4: You seem to have an excess in the first 2 bins in all plots. Do you control your partially reconstructed backgrounds?
Cheers,
Patrick

Hi Marcel,
I would have the following suggestions:
- Remove 'Gaussian' from abstract. (What other standard deviation
could it be? )
- 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.
