Reply to the comment by K.M. Aggarwal on “Collision strength and effective collision strength for Ba XLVIII”

Abstract

We show that the comment of K.M. Aggarwal (2018, Can. J. Phys. 96(10), doi: https://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/pdf/10.1139/cjp-2017-0842 ), although being only marginally relevant to the content of the original paper (2017, Can. J. Phys. 95(2), doi: https://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/pdf/10.1139/cjp-2016-0513 ), misinterprets our results and leads to an incorrect conclusion.
