read the original abstract
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.

The cross section of inverse beta decay
The inverse beta decay cross section can be predicted to 0.1% at low energies, but the uncertainty estimate relies on selective use of neutron lifetime data and ad hoc error inflation.
