A slight difference may however appear with these authors' formulae, due to an opposite convention about the sense of the electric field. In order to keep the same orientation as in most Lo Surdo-Stark descriptions [7-10, 16, 17, 28], we shall suppose the electric field F to be oriented towards positive z-values. Keeping the same formal definition of parabolic coordinates, we thus logically obtain an inversion of ξ and η. The physical results, such as the radial distribution of photoelectron current, are of course unaffected.

48. In an actual experiment, the free electron under study is not the only thing subject to gravity. The free electrons flowing in the surrounding metallic electrodes also undergo their own weight. Because of the nearly total electrical influence between the one and the others, the detached electron, if the electric field was cancelled, would be more in a gravity-less situation than in free fall. Experiments that intended to measure the weight of electrons flying inside Faraday cages actually faced this curious zero-weight result. See T.W. Darling, F. Rossi, G.I. Opat, G.F. Moorhead, Rev. Mod. Phys. 64, 237 (1992) and references therein, especially F.C. Witteborn, W.M. Fairbank, Phys. Rev. Lett. 19, 1049 (1967).
