Dear all, I received the reaction on our comments on LHCB-PAPER-2013-067 Tjeerd Without other remarks I propose to answer with ==========================================

Dear contact authors,

Thank you for your reactions and explanations.

From your answer it seems that our first general comment

was not clearly formulated. Let me try it again:

- In the abstract is stated "No significant polarisation is observed".

- In the conclusion is stated "For lambda_theta the phi(2S) meson does not show large transverse polarization".

- In the data (tables and figure 5) a significant negative value of lambda_theta is observed at large pT which is not the polarisation predicted by CSM (larger negative) and by NRQCD (same size positive). But in that pT bin the polarizaton is different from zero.

Therefore, the statement in the abstract does not seem to be correct. Maybe it is best to repeat the statement made in the conclusion.

Dear LHCb Colleague, The comment (LHCB-PAPER-2013-067-001-COMMENT-004) that you made on LHCB-PAPER-2013-067-001 (entitled: 'Measurement of $\psi(2S)$ polarisation in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7\mathrm{TeV}$') has itself been commented on by Yanxi Zhang [CERN] (yanxi.zhang@cern.ch).
