Lee et al. Reply:The authors of the Comment claim to have found significant differences between the calculations by Lee et al. l and those by Price and co-workers 2 and Pannert, Ring, and Boguta. 3 The values of the quadrupole moment Q20 that they use for their comparison are not those published in the Erratum. 4 If these corrected values are inserted, all calculations agree within 10% and the systematics in the results are the same.Secondly, the authors of the Comment attack parameter set LI as unphysical. However, it was clearly stated in Ref. 1 that this is not a good parameter set. It was only used for exploratory studies.The third point concerns 12 C. It is shown by Fink et al. 5 that parameter set NL2 also produces an oblate 12 C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
