----------------------------------------------------------- 1st reviewer: To answer the last question first. Yes it should be accepted as a Hall A collaboration. Yes, my concerns have been very well met. ----------------------------------------------------------- 2nd reviewer: On rereading the new proposals I find the authors attitudes towards the issues of higher twist and whether there is existing evidence of physics beyond the standard model puzzling. In the authors response, it is said that the PVDIS HT is connected to the NuTeV higher twist corrections through a model. Given recent results from two photon "imaginary" polarization proposals, one should probably guess this means the PAC will think there is no meaningful connection. Thus this argument is a waste of time. On evidence for physics beyond the standard model, there is already plenty of evidence, such as the cosmological constant, dark energy, and dark matter. (All of which I think are much more mysterious and beyond standard model than neutrino oscillations.) I don't understand why the authors continue to focus on a few of the outlier measurements in a large and, as near as I can tell, statistically distributed set of electroweak results. It seems irrational. The basic argument for this experiment as a standard model test appears to be that it is a much better measurement of 2C_2u - C_2d than previous ones, and that it is sensitive to new physics in a different way than other observables. This is a nice general argument, but the limits set on new physics discussed in section 1.6 appear to indicate limits that do not much improve upon existing ones, particularly since they are 1 sigma, not 3 sigma limits, so there appears to be no specific model in which the present measurement really makes a difference. This is hardly the compelling argument one would like to see given to the PAC, and indeed this makes me fear the likely judgement of the PAC. I do not see how the PAC can give this proposal better than B+ priority with the current unclear impact of this measurement. I also fail to see how it can be more than conditionally approved, given that it requires upgrades to the DAQ and beam polarimetry that are still in the development stages. Despite all this criticism, it does seem to me that the experiment is cheap, compared to other standard model tests around, and that indeed several such measurements will help to better set limits on beyond-standard-model physics, so it should be supported by Hall A. As a picky point, why is section 3.12 called "Error budget"? Are these misstakes the proposers are planning to make? -------------------------------------------------------------
