论文摘要
S. W. Lovesey在他的评论[Arxiv：2209.03235]中指出，我们对CE上进行的中子散射实验的分析$ _2 $ _2 $ zr $ _2 $ o $ $ _7 $无效。洛维西（Lovesey）认为，我们尚未正确考虑对磁散射的高阶多极贡献，并且我们使用伪柔软的$ 1/2 $ operators来描述散射是不合适的。在此答复中，我们表明，Lovesey讨论的多极校正仅在超过我们实验中访问的波形的散射波形方面显着。这绝不矛盾或破坏我们的工作，这从未声称直接观察到高阶多物体的散射。我们进一步表明，Lovesey对我们使用伪替辛的反对是没有根据的，并且伪蛋白操作员能够在我们实验的能量尺度上描述所有磁散射过程，远低于晶体场间隙。最后，我们对Lovesey对散射幅度的计算中的某些假设进行评论，这与实验不一致。
In his comment [arXiv:2209.03235], S. W. Lovesey argues that our analysis of neutron scattering experiments performed on Ce$_2$Zr$_2$O$_7$ is invalid. Lovesey argues that we have not properly accounted for the higher-order multipolar contributions to the magnetic scattering and that our use of pseudospin-$1/2$ operators to describe the scattering is inappropriate. In this reply, we show that the multipolar corrections discussed by Lovesey only become significant at scattering wavevectors exceeding those accessed in our experiments. This in no way contradicts or undermines our work, which never claimed a direct observation of scattering from higher-order multipoles. We further show that Lovesey's objections to our use of pseudospins are unfounded, and that the pseudospin operators are able to describe all magnetic scattering processes at the energy scale of our experiments, far below the crystal field gap. Finally, we comment on certain assumptions in Lovesey's calculations of the scattering amplitude which are inconsistent with experiment.
