16. Note, however, that in time-averaged orbiting potential traps the bias field often exceeds 10 G, and hindered cooling may play a role, specially when the atomic ground-state hyperfine splitting is relatively small, as in sodium, for example.

18. The m = 0 state is a trapping state in this manifold because of the nonlinearity of the Zeeman effect.
