Reply to arXiv:1002.4366, "Comment on `Motion of an impurity in an ultracold quasi-one-dimensional gas of hard-core bosons`", by S. Giraud and R. Combescot
Abstract
In their Comment [1] Giraud and Combescot point out that the contribution to the impurity-boson distribution function bi(x-y) of a term we dropped is not negligible, rather than being negligible in the thermodynamic limit as we had conjectured. We now agree with them, but nevertheless our results for bi are highly accurate for large impurity-boson mass ratio mi/m and remain qualitatively correct for all values of mi/m and all values of the boson-impurity coupling constant.
