A question on publication process in Physical Review D

[Sunny Singh]

Dear All,

A few days ago, my first paper in Physical Review D got accepted, but today, I found out that there is a minor mistake in the paper that changes the value of a quantity in a table. It doesn't change the final results, the physics or the paper's main point. It's just a calculation error. I need to make three changes-- change the value in the table for one of the 7 coefficients, one equation for the expression for that particular coefficient, and I need to strike out 3 lines that discuss that coefficient's earlier value.

What should I do now? Should I contact the editor or should i request these changes in the proofreading phase? And will these changes be published as an erratum or since I caught this before it actually gets published, it won't be shown as an erratum?

PS. I can see that it has gone into production phase now.

Thanks!

Thanks. I'll send an email to the editor today itself.
