[Olympus] [EXTERNAL] Fwd: Acceptance LV16638 Bernauer

Wed Mar 24 10:16:51 EDT 2021

Thank you! And thank you and congratulations to the whole team! I was thinking today about how many different crucial studies and calibrations went into this result that I never touched: the BPM alignment, the beam energy calibration, the trigger efficiency, the SYMB simulation... many many others. I'm still amazed how it all came together and I'm grateful for all of your hard work that made this possible. 

Yes, let's (get vaccinated and then) party! Here's hoping for similar successes with TPEX,
Axel

>> 
>> I am glad that Referee A compared the modified numbers in Table II in
>> the second version to the ones from the first version of the
>> manuscript after my first report led the authors to discover a bug in
>> their uncertainty calculations. While the magnitude of the changes is
>> concerning, I am satisfied by the authors' explanation for why they
>> are now confident that the quoted uncertainties in Table II are
>> reliable. In any case the changes are not order-of-magnitude level and
>> the changes do not appear to meaningfully affect the physics
>> conclusions of the paper or the likely impact of these results on form
>> factor extractions. Having said that, it is important that the
>> published uncertainties be correct, because these results will likely
>> be re-used many times in future global analyses.
>> 
>> I thank the authors for adding the curve of Ye et al. to Figure 2. It
>> seems to be in very good agreement with the data, which maybe suggests
>> that Ye et al. are on the right track with their method for applying
>> two-photon-exchange corrections to the data. It would have also been
>> nice to see the uncertainty band of the Ye et al. analysis
>> superimposed together with the central curve, but I realize this might
>> have required more substantial work, might be more difficult to
>> implement correctly without introducing mistakes or misinterpretations
>> for this observable, and also might have made the plot too "busy", so
>> I can certainly see the advantage of showing only the central curve.
>> 
>> So in summary, the plot is fine as-is. I do not believe that the paper
>> needs further revision, assuming that the uncertainties given in Table
>> II are now the correct ones.
