21. Since langle (Formula presented)-R rangle= langle T-(Formula presented) rangle by unitarity, this defintion for the WL correction conforms to (and generalizes) those given in Ref. 1 and H. U. Baranger and P. A. Mello, Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 142 (1994). This definition differs from the commonly used experimental definition of WL as the change in langle (Formula presented)-R rangle when time reveral symmetry is broken by an applied magnetic field.
