Hi Wouter,
See below my comments on the paper.
Groeten, Jeroen
Abstract 5th line: Remove “W ->” in “reconstructed in the W->munu final state” L8: Define the abbreviation QCD. This is the first occurrence. L9: Suggest to write “parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton” to make more clear what PDF abbreviates. L9-10: Suggest to rephrase to “The measured ratio of the W+jet to Z+jet production is a test of perturbative QCD methods” L15: It would be helpful to show the Feynman diagrams here. L32 (more places): remove hyphens in b jets and c jets. Just as you did already for PAPER-2015-016. L49-68: You are using the old template. In particular the references to the LHCb detector (L49) and the momentum resolution (L56) have changed. But please check for other changes as well. L66: add hyphen in high-occupancy events L109: Spell out sqrt(s): center-of-mass energy L124: The | symbol in BDT(bc|udsg) is slightly confusing. Maybe another symbol would be better? E.g. a / or a - ? L132: This is confusing for the outside reader. This section is called “Signal yields”, you define 6 processes, including the top quark to W+jet process. This is in full contradiction with your earlier claim in L26 that the top-quark decay is not included in the signal definition. Please clarify in the text what you mean. L142: Start new sentence after “reconstructed”: “This efficiency is obtained from simulation.” L151 and many more places (L156, L164, L174, L177, L196, L243 etc): change “extract” into e.g. “determine” (see EB guidelines). L151: you can easily remove “final state” without losing information. L166: add comma after mass. L175: remove hyphen in mistag. L182: Suggest to change “missed-muon probability” (sounds a bit awkward) into “muon reconstruction efficiency”. L193: “obtained” can be removed without loss of information. L196: add comma after Ref. [12], L197: add “the relative top-quark content.” L202: make "final states” plural. Table 1: Add uncertainty to the Zj line. Or explain in the caption why these yields have no uncertainties. Table 1: Suggest to replace “mode” by “final state” L240: Add “are obtained from data” L241: “The data are re-fit” is slang. Suggest “The fit is repeated…” L283-293: This summary section is not needed. Strongly suggest to remove most of this section and merge it with the previous section. Suggest to add the fiducial range to the caption of Table 3. Ref.2: Remove “LHCb-PAPER-2014-033” and remove the 2nd arXiv link. Ref.3: Suppose you mean LHCb-PAPER-2015-016? All figures could be improved:
- No bold fonts.
- Thinner lines
- Larger fonts.
- Italics where needed for the symbols
