Phonons in magnon superfluid and symmetry breaking field
Recent experiments [1],[2] which measured the spectrum of the Goldstone
collective mode of coherently precessing state in 3He-B are discussed using the
presentation of the coherent spin precession in terms of the Bose-Einstein
condensation of magnons. The mass in the spectrum of the Goldstone boson --
phonon in the superfluid magnon liquid -- is induced by the symmetry breaking
field, which is played by the RF magnetic fieldComment: 2 pages, JETP Letters style, no figures, version accepted in JETP

A New World Average Value for the Neutron Lifetime
The analysis of the data on measurements of the neutron lifetime is
presented. A new most accurate result of the measurement of neutron lifetime
[Phys. Lett. B 605 (2005) 72] 878.5 +/- 0.8 s differs from the world average
value [Phys. Lett. B 667 (2008) 1] 885.7 +/- 0.8 s by 6.5 standard deviations.
In this connection the analysis and Monte Carlo simulation of experiments
[Phys. Lett. B 483 (2000) 15] and [Phys. Rev. Lett. 63 (1989) 593] is carried
out. Systematic errors of about -6 s are found in each of the experiments. The
summary table for the neutron lifetime measurements after corrections and
additions is given. A new world average value for the neutron lifetime 879.9
+/- 0.9 s is presented.Comment: 27 pages, 13 figures; Fig.13 update
