Response to ''Comment on 'New phase for one-component hard spheres'''

The nature of the phases observed in a hard-sphere system is considered. Simulation data, obtained via both Monte Carlo simulation and molecular dynamics support the existence of a new phase for hard spheres. The data include configurational snapshots, compressibility factors, radial distribution functions, order parameters, and self-intermediate scattering functions. To facilitate further investigation of the new phase, the relevant configuration files are available on the internet.
