Correspondence from user in RT 98213:
This is due to a different way of handling compound last names in SPIRES
vs. INSPIRE. On that paper your name has been listed in SPIRES with
"Foncesca Mota" as the surname and only David as the first/given name.
You other papers list only "Mota" as the last name. SPIRES makes no
distinction here, but INSPIRE does at the moment.
Thus to resolve this problem we will correct the name on the paper to be
consistent with your other papers, and it will show up in searches on
both SPIRES and INSPIRE. We will let you know when this is complete.
In the long term we may investigate this aspect of the name parsing on
INSPIRE, but for the moment, if we fix the Phys Rev paper you mention,
your searches will work.
Best Regards,
Travis
