First three comments may be more appropriate for the paper rather than the MICE note

* Should defend choice of Xenon

* Should define symbols in emittance formula

* Should define equilibrium emittance

# "Thus, despite the limited angular range it is extremely attractive as a direct measure of the

scattering of muons" Need to add some more quantitative discussion of angular acceptance.

# Table 1: Row for Al numbers are suspect - correct

# Table 1: General comment that some description of the material budget is required; how much material and where?

# Table 1: In similar vein, some description of absorber is necessary

# Scattering angle definitions eqn (3) and (4) are not correct - see supplementary note from JHC attachment:Projected-angles.pdf

# Correction @theta = \sqrt(<theta_scatt>)@ should be @theta = \sqrt(<theta^2>)@

# There was some discussion over the use of a Gaussian fit, as mentioned in final sentence of 1.1. Comment that the description would be better in the "analysis" section where the relevant measurements and plots are listed.

# 0.0038 should be 0.038

# Comment that section 1.2 needs a lot of work; it was not reviewed in detail.
