(B2) To simplify the discussion, I rewrite the Eq. (B2) in a smpler form as $$ I(q) = \int f(k)e^{ikq} \exp(-k^2\Delta^2) dk. $$ I think that the conclusion written after Eq. (B2) in the paper : *"For $\Delta^{-1}$ larger than the width of f(k) (which means that the width of $P(q)$ should be much smaller than the the one of $\tilde{f}(q)$, the noise can be deconvoluted (of course, if one assumes its Gaussian form)"* it is not enough to ensure that I(q) is equal to $\int f(k)e^{ikq} dk$ In my opinion, $\Delta^{-1}$ must be larger than the highest value of $k$ in the support of $f(k)$ Let's see an example: suppose that $f(k)$ is not zero in the interval $[k_0,k_c]$. Then the condition for the integral $I(q)$ to be not modified by the gaussian kernel $\exp(-k^2\Delta^2)$ is $\Delta^{-1} \gg k_c$, which is different than $\Delta^{-1} \gg k_c-k_0$, as I understand the meaning of *"$\Delta$ larger than the width of f(k) "* written in the paper. Therefore we end with the conclusion that $\Delta$ must be much smaller than 1/k_c. (or $1/\omega_c$ if $q$ is the time).
