[Albert Knutsson]

Dear Hendrik,

thanks for the fast response. I will forward your feedback and
questions to respectively author. Let us come back to you with
updated files.

If you have any other feedback or comments please let us know.

These two I can answer directly.

The analyses have been validated (and approved by CMS working group 
conveners).
We will do the update to .info that you propose.

No, the numbers refer to the center of the eta intervals. Better
would be x<=|eta|<y. I agree, these titles are confusing, but as
it is now, the titles are exactly as in the paper.


Cheers and thanks for the feedback,
Albert, on behalf of CMS
