[Bfys-physics] Fwd: First circulation of publication draft for PAPER-2016-013, Measurement of the $C\!P$ asymmetry in $B^0_s-\overline{B}^0_s$ mixing
Hi all,
A paper for us, with the slight annoyance that some of us are involved (that was a mistake, but decided not to fix it).
Cheers,
Patrick

Hi all,
I write down a few comments while they are fresh.
Very well written paper. Congratulations! It's a bit longer than the limit and there may be suggestions to add more details during the circulation, so I also make suggestions on where to cut.
Analysis: L.129-133: I dislike this approach as the outcome is unrelated to the systematic it's supposed to measure. The uncertainties (with correlations) should be taken into account when doing this. To which line in Table 1 does this correspond to? L.183-186: I do not understand which magnet corrections you mean.
Text: Abstract: Write \Km\Kp\pipm L.14: predicted to be small ; asls = .... (I don't like as small as) L.23: Turn the sentence : The result in this letter uses ... and supersedes .... But you could completely cut it (or at least the part relating to [7]) and add in lines 28-30 that [7] is superseded L.36: "is reduced to asls/2" is very unclear. Reduced by whom? I suggest to put asls/2 in Eq. 2 and write "compared to ... Eq. 1, A_raw does not suffer from..." L.47: you have not defined associated and do not need it. Just say IP is the closest distance to any PV. L.52: remove "in the muon system" (where else?) L.59 and onwards: I would prefer calling these regions \phi\pip and \Kstarz\Km to make clear what they are. Or just phi and K*0 regions. L.64: "to which a muon" gives the impression the muon is part of the Ds. Not sure how to fix that. L.68 and 140: "the" calibration samples are undefined. You should say they are described later. Fig.1: Write \Dsm->\Km\Kp\pim to be consistent with the text and fix the axis labels accordingly. The plot is beautiful, but can be suppressed if space is needed. It does not add any physics relevant to the measurement. L.100: of b hadrons L.157: I would not use the word isoscalar here. L.160: Remove "Since ... [7]" No need to justify yourself. Table 1: Write each line as 0.11\pm0.09\pm0.02 and thus you can just have a single "value" label, without the two uncertainties. This will help getting it into a single column and makes it clearer what the three numbers are. [2] is a review. Is that the best source for the numbers you quote?
Cheers,
Patrick
