22. When comparing the number of atoms before and after the collapse event, we measured only atoms that remained in a central component. In other words, we were not including the atoms in the burst described in Ref. [1].

26. A precise independent determination of the scattering length would provide a calibration of number through the rethermalization measurements and therefore lead to a corresponding improvement in the determination of k.
