Reply to "Direct comparison between the γ-ray fluxes from proton beam dumps at LAMPF and SIN"

A direct comparison is made between the limit on $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray flux obtained at LAMPF, and the rate of $2\ensuremath{\gamma}$ (and $1\ensuremath{\gamma}$) events found traveling along the beam-dump direction at SIN. The two experiments are not at variance with each other. The LAMPF result is shown to imply limits on axion properties. In turn a limit on muon-neutrino decay of $\frac{{\ensuremath{\tau}}_{\ensuremath{\nu}}}{{m}_{\ensuremath{\nu}}}g0.07$ sec/eV is derived from the SIN $1\ensuremath{\gamma}$ data.
