5. The usual relation of Γ with the thermal wavelength of the molecules ensures the matching with quantum statistical mechanics and it gives a dependence of Γ with the molecular mass. However, in any system within the range of the classical statistics the factorization of positions and momenta in the phase space should make any structural property (like the density of micelles) independent of the molecular mass, so that it is not affected by an arbitrary choice of Γ.
