Hi Michael,

Thank you.

We'll go through it in more detail, but some things I can answer right now:

Author list. Axel and I are leading this, so we put us first, 
alphabetically. We can talk about the remainder of the list, maybe we 
should sort first the students who had a full analysis, and then 
everybody else? I think we kept just the old order.

Generating more plots is not easy. I'm not sure Axel or I have the time. 
We are also running out of space for the PRL.

Direct moeller/bhabha does not work. 7% is the estimated uncertainty of 
the absolute lumi from MIE, as calculated by Axel.

Since we cannot give a good error for the slow ctrl lumi, we cannot 
judge if the 1% is meaningful or not. It might indicate that the 7% is 
too defensive, or it might be coincidence.  If we take the beam 
measurement at face value, we estimated roughly 5% error from other 
sources. But they are very hard to quantify.

Since the SYMB with MIE is the only one were we can get a result and and 
error, it's the luminosity we used.

We already discuss the TPE corrections in the fits. We are limited in 
space here, it's a PRL after all. I do not think we should go into more 
interpretation and shift the fits to the same point etc.

I do not understand what you mean with the red blocks. Fig 3 is show the 
theoretical corrections applied. There is no normalization uncertainty 
there.

Best,

Jan
