7. The cross sections for collisions between low-energy cesium ions and cesium atoms have not been measured, and we based our analysis on the cross sections for other ions;

12. The present investigation allowed us to check the validity of Eq. (7). By performing measurements of (Formula presented) at different values of (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) we verified that consistent values of (Formula presented) were derived by using for (Formula presented) the dependence of Eq. (7) on the trapping laser parameters. Our data have not explored the region of intermediate Rabi frequencies, where the (Formula presented) value is not well known.
