Dear Xiaofeng and Hanna,

Thank you very much.

Please find my inline response below.
We would request to kindly consider these requests.

In this abstract, we try to keep the discussion focused on the particle 
production mechanism by doing a test of thermal models and coalescence 
models. We have seen from this measurement and thermal model 
calculations that deuteron cumulants are very sensitive to the different 
ensembles in the thermal models. This is one of our prime findings and 
would be very useful to mention it in the abstract. We would like to 
request to keep this line.

We can add your suggestion regarding the QCD phase transition. However, 
we think this addition to the text might divert a bit the context of the 
abstract from the production mechanism.

We present new measurements on centrality and energy dependence of 
deuteron cumulants as well as proton-deuteron correlations at nine 
collision energies from BES-I. These results include necessary 
corrections and the estimation of measurement associated uncertainties. 
To give justice to these new set of measurements, we feel it would be 
good to mention "first systematic measurement" instead of "first 
measurement". We would request to keep this part as before.

I think that it is always good to mention the detectors used for 
particle identification in the measurement. Also, as we are identifying 
Deuterons in the extended transverse momentum region of Pt=0.8GeV/c to 
4.0GeV/c, it is useful to mention TPC and ToF detectors to convey that 
we have good PID purity. To remove ambiguity on this aspect, it is 
helpful to keep this text.
I would like to request to keep the mention of detectors.

Since our prime motivation consists of studying production of deuterons 
via thermal/coalescence scheme, we think we should stress that both the 
model calculations have been compared to the measurements. Coalescence 
model calculation is an important result and mentioning this feature 
(phase-space coalescence of close-by nucleons) of the calculation is 
very relevant and will make the message clear.
