Hi Maarten,
I agree, but they defer most comments t the paper (which is fine). We'll need to be careful. I am slightly worried that they think that this
refers to phrasing. I understand they assess a systematic by comparing weighted and unweighted events. This method as undefined coverage. What they should do is vary the weights within uncertainties.Section 9 is poorly written and hard to understand. You give a name to systematic uncertainties an explain how you got them but not not say which effect you try to catch. That's very critical for this analysis to be understood. For instance the first sentence of the simulation correction item is totally mysterious. Relative efficiency to what? Why would unweighted events take into account simulation statistics?
>>> We will work on that for the PAPER
Do we want to nudge back?
Cheers,
Patrick
Dear all,
We have received a reply to our comments on the Rk* conf note (http://cds.cern.ch/record/2256336).
In my opinion they gave satisfactory replies. Feel free to take a look and see if they are satisfactory for you as well.Cheers,
