Nota bene: the numerical calculation underlying Version 1 of this reply and the original work Phys.Rev. C71:064903,2005 contains a basic numerical error (wrong factor in the self-energy formulas of Phys. Rev.C71:064903,2005). This renders…

Our results for the primordial abundance of a massive Majorana tau neutrino (hep-ph/9603201) published in PRL76, 2848 (1996) were incorrect due to a trivial (but annoying) error in the numerical code. In this ERRATUM we present the…
