Reply to "comment on 'anisotropic impurity scattering effects on Tc and Hc2 in YBa2Cu3Ox'"

We present discussions about the value of the transport coupling constant λ_tr, in YBa₂Cu₃O_y. We have also reanalyzed our previous impurity scattering data according to the recently suggested relation between the momentum-dependent anisotropic function f(k), the ratio of anisotropic to isotropic scattering g_t, and the normalized order parameter e(k). Using the appropriate values of the transport properties and the plasma frequency, it is found that λ_tr as low as 0.2 is still a plausible value. Furthermore, we have studied the case of 〈ef〉²=0.81, which corresponds to f(k)=±1. For λ_tr=0.2, g_l=0.67 for in-plane oxygen defects and g_l=0 for Zn impurities, respectively. If λ_tr=0.3, g_l=0.82 for in-plane oxygen defects and g_l=0.33 for Zn impurities, respectively.
