Reply to “Comment on ‘Infrared fixed point structure in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with baryon and lepton number violation’ ”

Abstract

Infrared fixed points in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with baryon and lepton number violation were studied and their structure elucidated by us in Physical Review D 63 076008 (2001). Here we reply to a comment on this paper. We emphasize that our paper concentrates on the case of the only true infrared fixed point in the model, i.e. the stable nontrivial fixed point for the top- and bottom-quark Yukawa couplings and the baryon number violating coupling. For this case the comment does not affect in any manner the numerical results and conclusions derived in our paper.
