Comment on "Erratum: Negative-parity high-spin states and a possible magnetic rotation band in $^{135}_{59}$Pr$_{76}$ [Phys. Rev. C 92, 054325 (2015)]"

TL;DR

This paper critiques a previous study's revised polarization asymmetry results, emphasizing that the changes cannot be justified solely by geometric adjustments without re-analysis, suggesting potential underestimation of errors.

Contribution

It highlights the importance of proper data re-analysis and error estimation in polarization asymmetry experiments, challenging prior claims of revised results.

Findings

Revised results cannot be reproduced by simple geometric adjustments.

Original errors may have been significantly underestimated.

Proper re-extraction of polarization asymmetry is necessary.

Abstract

In [Ritika Garg et al., Phys. Rev. C 100, 069901(E) (2019)] the experimental results on the polarization asysmetry were revised due to a claimed change of the geometry asymmetry. However, the revised results can not be reproduced as claimed in the erratum by simply changing the geometry asymmetry in extracting the polarization asymmetry, without re-extracting the polarization asymmetry from the original experimental data. It is possible that the quoted errors were significantly underestimated.
