In our above-mentioned paper, we describe a model that results in the generation of low-energy neutrons. We find that Widom and Larsen have done a thorough mathematical treatment that describes one mechanism to create such low-energy neutrons. This mathematical treatment has been described in the following reference:

Widom A, Larsen L (2006) Ultra low momentum neutron catalyzed nuclear reactions on metallic hydride surfaces. Eur Phys J C46:107–111.

We regret the omission of this reference.
