论文摘要
我们讨论了Serebrov等人提出的问题。在最近关于在NIST上进行的束中子寿命实验的系统效应的论文中。我们表明,在原始分析中考虑了这些影响,并且我们的校正和系统的不确定性是适当的。我们指出了Serebrov等人分析中的一些误解和错误的假设。 Serebrov等人提出的任何问题都没有导致我们改变了先前报道的中子寿命的价值。
We discuss issues raised by Serebrov, et al. in a recent paper regarding systematic effects in the beam neutron lifetime experiment performed at NIST. We show that these effects were considered in the original analyses and that our corrections and systematic uncertainties were appropriate. We point out some misconceptions and erroneous assumptions in the analysis of Serebrov, et al. None of the issues raised in Serebrov, et al lead us to alter the value of the neutron lifetime reported previously.
