29. We attribute the small feature which remains visible around 83 ms to atoms having bounced elastically in the EW and being transferred after the bounce to (Formula presented)=4 by the stray light scattered from the prism.
30. This value is in good agreement (within 10%) with the Rabi frequency expected from the laser intensity and waist measured experimentally.
