Abstract

In the preceding Comment [Phys. Rev. A 65, 036501 (2002)], Kumar et al. claim that f23 values obtained by Şimşek [Phys. Rev. A 62, 052517 (2000)] for Dy, W, and Bi must be associated with an enormously large error. For this reason, we have rechecked all the calculations used to obtain the f23 yield. As a result, we have found out that the error analysis was inaccurate as claimed by the writers of the Comment, but there is no typographical error in the Eq. (4) of our paper contrary to the claim of Kumar et al. In addition, the method of using equivalent Al target to estimate the additional excitation by 59.5-keV photons scattered from primary target is accurate.
