Reply to Comment on 'Differential cross sections of low-energy electron-hydrogen scattering in a CO2-laser field'

The long-range asymptotic behaviour of the interaction potential is of crucial significance for low-energy laser-assisted electron-atom scattering for emission/absorption of one or more photons, especially for the small scattering angles; this is not satisfied by the ansatz of the comment by Rabadan and co-workers, equation (9).
