Comment to the article "Possible Systematic Effects in Fomblin Coated Storage Cell Neutron Lifetime Measurements", Steve K. Lamoreaux [1]

TL;DR

This paper refutes claims of systematic effects in neutron lifetime measurements, clarifying that the cited assumptions contradict experimental data and emphasizing the robustness of their original results.

Contribution

The authors clarify misconceptions and demonstrate that the alleged systematic effects are inconsistent with their experimental findings.

Findings

The publication cited does not exist.

The assumption of lower energy upscattering contradicts experimental limits.

Quasi-stable orbits hypothesis is contradicted by data.

Abstract

The author of article discusses the possible systematic effects in our experiment using reference and picture from allegedly our publication. First of all this publication does not exist. The assumption of author about the probability of lower energy upscattering is in a rough contradiction (300 times) with our experimental limit which is extremely lower, about 6x10-9 per neutron collision. The second assumption of author concerning quasi-stable orbits of UCN with higher energy due to specular neutron reflection from trap wall is also in a rough contradiction with our experimental data clear demonstrated in our previous articles as well in the last very detailed article recently presented in the arXiv. We are very surprised that author discusses well known questions studied in our experiment in details.
