Hi All,

Replies to our comments on the Kshh paper are given here:

https://cds.cern.ch/record/1561698

I think they were all-in-all very accommodating of what we requested, they essentially agreed with everything. I'd still like to follow up on the systematics for the signal significance, because I don't think adding systematics into the signal significance is such a good idea.

Let me know if you'd like to add anything more than that, and I'll reply on CDS today.

Thanks,

Rob

Hi Again,

Thanks Patrick, our comments appear here: http://cds.cern.ch/record/1560892

We're the only comment so far... which seems highly unusual... their EB meeting must be in only a few days time!

Thanks,

Rob

Hi Rob,

I had to leave in the middle of the meeting (towards the end of your slides) and fully agree with your comments on LL and DD BFs. They should go.

Here's a few more details: Abstract: define h L.3: Footnote 1 could go to a parenthesis avoiding the K^{- 1} "exponent". L.89: "It is therefore necessary to divide" -> we divide (it's not because there are 2/3 that one must divide). L.91: Down-Down -> Downstream, Long-Long -> Long. See the Bs->J/psiKs papers. L.188-193: Here is sounds you base everything on MC. You could check what happens when you revert PID cuts. L.221, 323: systematics -> systematic uncertainties L.236: use the new fd/fs. L.323-4: It may be only wording, but that does sound very scientific (I don't like inflating). Table 2: How can 3, 13, 1 and 1 add up to 19 in quadrature? The ana note says 1.6% instead of 3%. Please check all numbers. 350: remove all DD and LL BFs. Fig.2: these plots would look better in log scale. Fig.4: Merge the LL and DD plots, make them colour and move to suppl. material.

Cheers,

Patrick

I'm compiling the comments from the meeting and will submit comments on CDS at 17:00 today.

Thanks,
