49. 0 = 10 atm. The calculated relaxation time is then estimated to be of the order of 0.1 μs. Scaling involves the dependence of the cooling rate on the number of collisions and hence on the pressure (from Ref. [42]). The relaxation time is in fact found to be inversely proportional to the pressure for not too high collision frequency.
