3. Throughout this work we shall use units where (Formula presented) Although Eqs. (2) and (3) seem to fit the data rather well, one should keep in mind that the precise determination of the frequency dependence of the scattering rate is rather sensitive to the normalization and extrapolation of the data.
4. An upper limit for the crossover temperature is given by the hopping integral (Formula presented) between the chains: (Formula presented)

19. Note that Eqs. (15) and (16) are the leading behavior for small (Formula presented) so that it would be incorrect to perform a Kramers-Kronig analysis on these expressions. In contrast, the phenomenological Eqs. (2) and (3) interpolate from small to large frequencies.
