 == General comments: == == General comments: ==
 +
 +The paper is well organized, short and well focused. ​ We have two general comments: ​
 +
 +1)  We do not agree with the separation of this paper from  the similar public PAS EXO-10-19 ( for example Tab 1 is the same in both papers). ​ The two analyses combined would show a much more organic effort. We suggest the inclusion in this paper of the results of EXO-10-19. ​
 +
 +2) Quite often the explanations are so dense that they are difficult to follow.

 + 
 +l.15-25 (NC+NP): The reader might wonder why D0 has done the 2-jet and dielectron analyses and we did not. We should explain the status/​reason for not having done it.

 l.48-49: (EM) why the threshold of the double-photon trigger is larger than that of the single-photon trigger? ​ If the single-photon is prescaled, you should mention it. l.48-49: (EM) why the threshold of the double-photon trigger is larger than that of the single-photon trigger? ​ If the single-photon is prescaled, you should mention it.
 +
 +l.53 (NC): The eta-cut value of 1.4442 is peculiar. What is our resolution in eta? DO we really know eta to the 4th decimal point? ​
 +
 +(NP):Since this value is due to the exclusion of the 2 outermost ECAL barrel rings, has to be mentioned? ​
 +
 +l.60-73 (NC):  this list is hard to follow. Why not separate the points (i),​(ii),​(iii) using also new lines? ​
 +
 +(NP): ideally one would like to read that isolation criteria are applied both to charghed tracks and to e.m. and hadronic energy depositions within defined DeltaR acceptances around the photon directions

-l.74-82: (EM) difficult to follow what it was done. Also about the optimal choice for |eta|, we found the tone of the explanation too confidential. Perhaps just say that you choose the barrel/​endcap boundary and this was driving the M(gamma-gamma)>​500 GeV choice. Furthermore in the rest of the paper it is not clear how the intermediate region is used.+l.74-82: (EM+ NP) difficult to follow what it was done.

 + 
 +l.77-79 (NC): "We alternate between..."​ it does not sound very good. Just quote the result.

-l.84: (EM) the scale factor ​is compatible with onewhy is it needed?+l.83-84: (NC+EM) This explanation is really too short, and you end with a  ​scale factor compatible with onewhy is it needed? Just quote that you have checked with Z->ee the MC prediction 
 + 
 +l.83-84: (NP) Comparing to EGM-10-006 the efficiency was computed on the data Zee sample and than corrected by the same factor 
 +for the difference e/gamma. 
 + 
 +l.89-97 (NC):  The K-factor choice needs a longer explanation. It's difficult is a reader has to go to a reference to figure-out this choice. Flat in pt

 +Fig.1, top left and right (NC): The plot is dominated by statistical fluctuations. You need to reduce the binning by at least a factor of two. 
 +
 +l.133.135 (NC): Is the word "​relative"​ needed?
 +
 +Fig.2 (NC): the overflow bin  is very confusions. best would be to remove it, otherwise you need to explain it. The 2 Ms predictions are dominated by statistical fluctuations. Is it possible to have smoother curves?
 +The legend n_ED can be confused with the expression in line 141 "n_ED events"​.
 +
 +l.141(NC): change "​n_ED"​ with "​n_Signal"​
 +l.141 (NC): Dont' introduce a new symbol S, just called it "sigma x BR". Also this "​S"​ can be taken with something related to M_S.

 +Change sigma_ADD ==> sigma_total. Otherwise it seems the sigma due to the model ADD.
