25. Because of fluctuations ((Formula presented)) in the number of atoms in the different experiments, we scaled the measured radii to the average number of atoms using the relation (Formula presented) valid in the Thomas-Fermi limit. Each data point in Fig.� 3 corresponds to an average of ten repeated measurements.
