Title: "... the High Luminosity LHC" Abstract: line 22: "return to baseline": in line 99 you use hyphens. Please be consistent (appears also in line 118 and others) Section 1: Fig. 1, caption: spurious "in" in "shown in brown in will" line 57: TEPX stands for "Tracker Endcap Pixel Detector", as we had it, please roll back! line 77: add "signal": "after receipt of a Level-1 trigger signal" (Level-1 trigger can mean the whole system) Section 2: line 98: spurious "of" in "includes of a charge sensitive" Line 108: "Three different AFE designs have been proposed within the RD53 project, to compare and provide a choice" I liked the original "Three different AFE designs have been proposed within the RD53 project, to allow for comparison and to provide a choice" much better! Fig. 3: suggest to move to top of page Section 4: - might want to move Fig. 15 to the top of the page Section 5: - could advance Fig. 16 to the previous page (page 13), where it is discussed. Section 6: line 318 :roll back from characteristic --> consideration Section 7: lines 371-372: remove the 2 commas line 433: Try to avoid the lonely line... May go away due to other changes
