Hello Peter,


--> http://www-f9.ijs.si/~krizan/herab/open_charm/paper/paper-v5.1.ps.
--> Let us know within a week if you have any further comments to this final 
--> version.


Many congratulations on finishing this analysis and finally getting the
paper publication-ready!  I have a few minor comments which you might
want to take into account:

-  page 6, 1st paragraph, 7th line from bottom:

   Something is missing after "... and x_b was assumed to be" 

--> A % sign sneeked in and commented the rest of the line...


-  page 6, eq. (7)
   "p" is used for "proton" or "momentum" in other parts of the paper.
   Why don't you call the weights "w_i" or something like that?

--> done

-  page 9, left column, first complete paragraph:

   You write down the equation for P_V with two division signs, like
   A/B/C ;  this is ambiguous and should be avoided:  do you mean 
   A / (B/C), i.e effectively (A*C) / B,  or (A/B)/C, i.e. A / (B*C)?

--> done


-  page 9, left column, second complete paragraph, and page 10, 3rd
   paragraph of the Summary:

   Would you expect this ratio to be the same in e+e- and pA collisions?
   Your text suggests that you expect agreement.  If you don't have any
   expectation, I would just quote the e+e- value for comparison and let
   the reader draw their own conclusion.

--> Very far from threshold the hadronisation should not depend on how the 
--> quark was produced, but then we should see no leading-to-non-leading
--> particle differences. Indeed, you are right, so I have corrected as 
--> you suggested.


-  Tables 6 and 7:
   Be consistent in typesetting the "b" for barns in upright font also
   in "\mu b"

--> done

-  Typo in section title of "Acknowlegdments".

--> done

-  References:
   [almost all] you are missing a full stop after "al", and a comma
   between the authors and the journal titles

   [11] - [14]  The author should be 
       I. Abt et al. (HERA-B Collaboration)

   [14] has two dates:  2007 and (2006)

--> There was a mess with the references because we have been using a 
--> wrong style file along with the wrong example, and some remnants of the old
--> style remained on several places.
