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:

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.

  LHCb PAPER-2013-037:
      "Measurement of form factor independent observables
       in the decay $B^0\to K^{*0}\mu^+\mu^-$"
      Link            : https://cds.cern.ch/record/1557918

best regards,
