Abstract

We refute a recent claim by Nazaruk that the limits placed on the free--space neutron--antineutron oscillation time τn n can be improved by many orders of magnitude with respect to the estimate τn n>2(T0/Γ)1/2, where T0 is a measured limit on the annihilation lifetime of a nucleus and Γ 100 MeV is a typical antineutron-nucleus annihilation width.
