Abstract

We reply to a very recent Comment arxiv:1204.2349 by Bernhard, Friedrich, Schlueter, and Schoenning for the COMPASS Collaboration, in which it is stated that Monte-Carlo simulations of COMPASS data do not support any interpretation of a peaked structure in diphoton invariant-mass distributions below the neutral pion mass in terms of a new resonance. Here we show, by directly comparing the simulations to the COMPASS data themselves, that the authors' claim is not substantiated by the Monte-Carlo results presented in the Comment.
