[Olympus] OLYMPUS target paper draft

[Michael Kohl]

Dear Jan, all,

very nice paper. I have a few comments below, and I am including an 
annotated version.


My main concern is regarding the author list.
A lot of people not listed have helped to install, operate, monitor, and 
diagnose the target. Not to mention the whole story of the leak and the 
concerted effort of several groups to come to the consistent conclusion 
that the low rates of run I were indeed due to lower luminosity and then 
tied to a leak problem with the target.

It took a collaboration to make it work.

Further, Figure 13 shows the density profile achieved with wire chamber 
reconstructed data. It took a lot of people and their contributions to get 
to this point. Not only to write the software but also to prepare 
the wire chamber, to install the experiment and to run the experiment.

Only then we have been enabled to see how the target performs (clean and 
triangular density profile).

My conclusion and suggestion is, you can keep all the main target people 
at the beginning of the author list to be recognized, but this target 
would not have been as successful without the steady work of a lot of 
unlisted authors. That is why we have a collaboration and a guideline 
policy. While it is possible to write papers on subcomponents with a 
reduced author list, this paper however deserves all of the OLYMPUS PhD 
scientists and graduate students listed as co-authors.

It is in particular the graduate students and postdocs who need 
publications arising from their contributions to OLYMPUS.

Best regards
   Michael
