Rebuttal to: "Comment on Scaling properties of background- and chiral-magnetically-driven charge separation in heavy ion collisions at $\sqrt{s}_{\rm NN}=200$ GeV"

TL;DR

This paper refutes a comment claiming flaws in previous work on charge separation in heavy ion collisions, clarifying misconceptions about the $R_{ ext{Psi}_2}( ext{Delta S})$ correlator and defending the original findings.

Contribution

It provides a detailed rebuttal to misconceptions about the $R_{ ext{Psi}_2}( ext{Delta S})$ correlator, reaffirming the validity of prior results on charge separation.

Findings

Wang's claims are incorrect and based on misconceptions.

The original results on charge separation are defended and validated.

Clarifies the proper interpretation of the $R_{ ext{Psi}_2}( ext{Delta S})$ correlator.

Abstract

Recently, F. Wang commented on our work "Scaling properties of background- and chiral-magnetically-driven charge separation in heavy ion collisions at $\sqrt{s}_{\rm NN} = 200$ GeV" and made several claims to support his conclusion that our results are fallacious. His conclusion and claims are not only incorrect; they show a fundamental disconnect with the rudiments of the $R_{\Psi_2}(\Delta S)$ correlator. This rebuttal addresses the root misconception responsible for Wang's false claims.
