21. 1/e ≈ 9ms to settle within the resonance width. This result is close to the measured delay time of 12ms.
22. We observe that the expansion rate of the molecules is very close to that of the expanding condensate.
23. This value is slightly higher than the value given before because of the reduced scattering length.
24. The calculated resonance position is 20.1 G. To reflect the correct resonance position, we shift the numerical data by centering the resonance at our observed value of 19.84G.
