Response to the comment by N. Severijns, O. Zimmer, H.-F. Wirth and D. Rich regarding article "Observation of the neutron radiative decay" in JETP Letters 83(1) p.5

We wouldn't like to bring up discrimination, but the tone of the commentary, which does not contain any science-based criticism or any alternative suggestions, does make one think of an unduly disrespectful attitude both towards the Russian participants and the project on radiative neutron decay itself. Here we cite our response to the commentary of our Western collaborants to the article printed in JETP Letters 83(1) p.5. We remain firm in the positions published in this article. In our last experiment we measured the relative intensity of radiative neutron decay (B.R.=(3.2+-1.6) 10-3 with C.L.=99.7% and lower energy limit of radiative gamma-quanta measured equal to 35 KeV) .
