Dear Berndt and Peter,
After discussions with colleagues, I am sending you some comments on your
draft Summary of HIPS98.
1) We agree with Uli's comments, and assume that they will be incorporated.
2) The last sentence of the first paragraph is too negative and does not
mean very much. We should say something more positive, e.g.
"All the experimental data can be explained by QGP formation,
but are not described fully by alternative hypotheses"
3) Strangeness enhancement, in particular the increased enhancement
of multistrange baryons, is more important and relevant than is indicated
by it being left to the last, short item. "Omega enhancement"
should be called "Strangeness enhancement" and should be Item 2. Low
mass lepton pairs could then be Item 5 after Item 4 on Collective flow
suggested by Uli.
