Hi all,

We have a new paper assigned to us. An important analysis with two methods by groups who for a long period wouldn't talk to each other. After two CONFs, they finally converged to a joint PRL. Care must be given that this history does not reflect too much in the paper. Any volunteer for collecting comments? It's a good occasion to learn about charm physics.

Cheers,

Patrick

Please send any comments via the CDS system. It is the responsibility of the contact authors to provide replies to all comments made. Subsequent modifications to the draft will be made in consultation with the reviewers and during the EB reading. Following this, there will be a final meeting of the editorial board, with contact authors and reviewers present, when final decisions will be made. As the last step, the collaboration will be given a final opportunity to comment during a “silent approval” period.
