Barr and Christopher G. Lester Dear Dr. Lester, We are honored that you chose to submit your paper on heffalon production to Physical Review Letters. We have never seen a better heffalon paper. We are also intrigued that two individuals were able to sort through the data from not one but two large detectors to place such strong constraints on your quarry. Please find below the Report of Referee A, who has considered your manuscript as carefully as is warranted. It is thus with infinite regret that we inform you that your paper is not suited for publication in Physical Review Letters. In accordance with our nonstandard practice (see memo appended further below), this concludes our review of your manuscript. Yours sincerely, Robert Garisto Editor Physical Review Letters Email: prl@ridge.aps.org http://prl.aps.org/ twitter @RobertGaristo "Every 2 minutes someone cites a PRL" APS Partners with ORCID Link your identifier via https://authors.aps.org/Profile ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Report of Referee A -- LD14439/Barr ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It is not clear to me why the authors focus on the standard Hefalons that as they say would `generate significant structural deformations of the detector system'. It is well known that SUSY models predict Shefalons that would not lead to structural deformations of the detector. In many extra dimensional models the damage would be confined to the part of the detector confined to extra dimensions, and further exotic models involving technicolor and supersymmetry predict slowly walking techni-shefalons that one can simply chase down and capture using '97 toyota corollas. On a first read, I think this paper is too narrow for PRL.

Ok, who put the #Heffalon paper into #smCollider at @sciencemuseum? @jonmbutterworth? @ProfBrianCox? pic.twitter.com/S3ZI6TIF9v
