6. The value of (Formula presented) depends on the nucleus in question. For example, for (Formula presented) the (Formula presented)-wave level spacing is (Formula presented) and averaging fifty (Formula presented) levels would require (Formula presented) to be 1 keV, whereas for (Formula presented) (Formula presented) (Formula presented) would be 10 keV.

22. In fitting the (Formula presented) 75 keV angular distribution data, the (Formula presented) uncertainty of (Formula presented) had an insignificant effect on (Formula presented) and (Formula presented)—the major effect was on the parameter (Formula presented) For example, for (Formula presented) the best fit value of (Formula presented) increased to (Formula presented)
23. For the sums in which (Formula presented) the positions of the energy levels were simulated by randomly generating sequences of energy levels which obeyed the Wigner distribution of adjacent levels spacings.
