Reply to Comment by P. C. E. Stamp on Vortex-Pair Excitation Near the Superconducting Transition of Bi sub 2 Sr sub 2 CaCu sub 2 O sub 8 Crystals.

The Comment on the authors' Physical Review Letter discusses the implications of the bare interlayer vortex interaction in a multilayered superconductor system. This Reply argues that the magnetic interaction being considered is intrinsically weak in a system of thin sheets and is effectively screened by the neutral plasma of thermally-excited vortex-antivortex pairs.
