General comments: none

Specific comments: Abstract: maybe the first 3 sentences can be merged somehow…

L 2-4:

L 23: Because → Since

L 25: Also, → Also

L 25-26: Why these kind of decays are not considered in the analysis? Maybe it's worth explaining

L 28-29: I would dropp “for the heavy and light leptons”

L 32: From “The production”, I would change into “The strength of the coupling between Sigma and the lepton alpha is proportional to:”

L 44-45: I would drop at least “measured” since the muon tracks are mostly “measured” in the tracker…

L 61-62: I would change into: “A smaller contribution to the background comes from the diboson ZZ channel…”

L 64: three EW-bosons → three EW-boson production

L 68: here you introduce the “internal” and “external” convertions, but you don't explain what they mean, you do it in par. 4-5. I suggest to re-organize the thing and make sure that immediately after any “non-trivial” term the corresponding definition is present (the same stand for asymmetric conversion in L 106).

L 77: I would drop all the (i) (ii) etc. since they are not used as references

L 84: I don't understand the (iii): if the rejection is not applied simply don't mention it

L 85: About (iv), if it's the electric charge is checked to be consistent from the 3 algorithms I would not stress the curvature more than the charge (as you do) otherwise it's ok like this

L 87: I would drop PF everywhere

L 99-100: “one or two entries…” → one or two opposite-sign/same-flavour dilepton pairs

Figure 2: expand the y-axis range of left figure since there is one error bar which is not completely included in the plot. I would use different colors instead of different fill styles, much clearer

L 114: here you describe once again the sources of background, maybe you can prune the background-related sentences in the other paragraphs.

L 132: since, as far as I understand, there is no 4-lepton veto the last part of the sentence sounds incorrect, because it's not necessary that the “soft” lepton from the conversion is undetected in order to make this final state a background.

L 209: “defined Eq.” → “defined in Eq.”

L 246-248: I would drop the last sentence
