24. Note that virial expansion methods fail for ionic fluids, as shown in MCQUARRIE D. A., Statistical Mechanics (Harper & Row, New York) 1976, Chapt. 15.
25. It is easily seen that a small-distance cutoff a is needed in order to make the correlation function normalizable. We interpret this cutoff as an effective hard-core radius (or particle diameter).
26. 4 + ⋯. The DH interaction thus is the renormalized interaction which results from all possible combinations of indirect interaction terms mediated by salt ions.
27. An effective attractive interaction does not necessarily mean coagulation of particles, since the centrifugal potential (which is logarithmic) has to be overcome.

29. MC estimates of critical parameters for Z/z = 1 range from c̃ ≃ 0.07, ∈ ≃ 14.3 [5] to c̃ ≃ 0.03, ∈ ≃ 17.5 [2]; we attribute the discrepancy to our results, especially in ∈, to our approximate way of including the hardcore repulsion. The improved DH theory yields c̃ ≃ 0.028 and ∈ ≃ 17.5 [2].
