Tom,
	I think decay rates is the right thing for a capture experiment.
It's us MuLaner's who need to retool, not you.

Hey all,

one thing I forgot to mention during today's teleconference: is there
any
preference between "lifetime" and "decay rate" when it comes to
presenting
muon decay fit results?  The reason I ask is that it's a nontrivial
procedure to switch between the two modes when fitting, and I thought it
might make things easier for us all if we agreed on a convention.
Unless
there are any objections, I'll continue to present results in terms of
decay rates.

Tom
