(i) physics/content/clarity

- p 3, Table 1. These numbers are so small, do they affect anything?
- p 3-4. I am not sure why we switch from pseudo-rapidity to rapidity. Maybe this is logical, I have no experience with this type of analysis.
- line 202-203. Seems strange that the correction is applied then the whole of it is taken as systematic uncertainty.
- line 222-223. Does the fine-grained binning help to determine better center of mass, or what is otherwise its advantage?
- p 11, Figure 3. Is there need for any discussion of the similarity of the pT dependence in the different rapidity ranges?
- p 15. Table 7. Why are all systematic errors symmetric?
- line 349, conclusions. 'reasonable agreement between the data and the theory curves'. It depends on what the criterium is, but I would have said that none of the theoretical curves describes the measured cross sections.

(ii) editorial

- line 3 and elsewhere in the text. "J/Psi's" should not be used for the plural since it can be confused with the possessive form. Simply J/Psis would be better.
- line 100-101. Use ~ between 'fit' and reference 27 such that it is not broken in a new line.
- p 4, Figure 1. Labels too small, especially the rapidity ranges.
- line 144. '; for' -> '. For'
- line 176-177. Repetition of the word 'also' within the sentence. Remove the first occurrence at the beginning of the sentence
- line 225. 2*s: 'bremstrahlung' -> 'Bremsstrahlung' or 'bremsstrahlung'
- line 241. remove comma after 'section'.
- p 10, Table 4, caption, 1st line. Remove comma after 'bin'
- p 10, Table 4, caption, 4th line. 'Only for' -> 'For'
- p 13, Figure 4. write the pT ranges inside the plots to make clear the difference between left and right plot. add y-labels to the plots below with the pull. add a key in the legend to explain that the points are the data.
- line 293, remove comma after 'modules'
- line 326. CEM is a model and a theory? I would have left just model and removed the word 'theory'.
- p 16, Table 8, caption, line 3. 'Only for' -> 'For'

- in some places the 'T' in pT is not roman. please do a global search of 'p_' and fix this

 
Artur:

1) l14: "historical discrepancy": please rephrase, sounds funny.
2) l51: remove rapidity coverage of muon detector: already descried on line 38
3) l56-57: while interesting piece of information, I don't see how relevant it is that there were 1.6 collisions per crossing.
4) l58: "good quality data" is not immediately clear, would suggest to replace with something like "Tracker, the Muon and the luminosity measurement detectors were fully operational".
5) l61: "without any further processing" sounds unclear as to what processing you are referring to. Add a statement about HLT passthrough.
6) line 67: remove "also".
7) l68-74: as a non-expert, it is not clear to me if the MC generators listed here have all the improvements listed on lines 15-19. It would be nice to clarify.
8) l84: define "central" and "forward" in terms of (pseudo)rapidity.
9) l91: would recommend changing "cuts are applied…" to e.g.: "To reduce backgrounds from fake muons …, muon tracks are required to pass the following requirements".
10) l92: I guess it is at least two tracks in the pixel layer, not exactly two?
11) l101: Which mass distributions were used in the fit? I imagine the inclusion of J/Psi into this fit could bias the cross-section measurement? Please clarify how the correction is made, and why/how it does not cause a bias.
12) l144-147: not clear the choice of polarization for non-prompt. Could you please clarify a bit why usage of babar measurement is directly transferable here, and how the comparison of that with EvtGen is a proper evaluation of systematic? What are the settings used in EvtGen?
13) l150, 175 and 181: What values do you assign to these uncertainties?
14) l153: You need to rephrase this sentence: different implies a comparison with something, while there is none here. Would suggest dropping the first sentence, and rephrase the second sentence a little bit.
15) l161: can you motivate the choice of 20%? Maybe a reference?
16) l185: I guess it needs to be "eff_off_track is the muon identification efficiency".
