10. All the recorded decay profiles were fitted with double exponential functions with the exception of those recorded in the temperature range of 11-17 K inclusively, for which a single exponential sufficed. The major decay component of the fit contributed over 97% of the intensity.
11. 0 correlated to the intensity of the 218.9 nm decay at the lowest temperature recorded because of the temperature-dependent behavior displayed by the intensities of the emission bands in the low-temperature range of 9 to 13 K.

14. Time-resolved measurements of the near-uv emissions could not be recorded as the repetition rate of the storage ring was too high, even for "single-bunch" mode operation with a repetition rate of 1.042 MHz. With a repetition rate of 1.042 MHz, the decay time of the near-uv emissions must therefore be longer than 10 μs.
