23. Rather than using a fixed cutoff distance in our parametrized scheme, which would cause artifacts in the energy due to a changing neighbor map during tube rotations, we obtained the potential energy surface by carefully integrating over energy differences due to small rotations, during which the neighbor map was kept fired.
