32. 40K simulations used 60000 atoms while experimental points used between 250000 and 1.5 × 106 atoms. By running the simulations with 100 to 350 000 atoms, we found that in a finite system, the conversion efficiency has a small number dependence that was included in comparing the simulation to experimental data.
33. The factor of 2% is an excellent approximation over the range of phase space density investigated and was determined by adding atoms to a Gaussian distribution at appropriate locations to approximate a Bose distribution with the correct two-body correlations. The conversion efficiency of the correlated and original Gaussian distributions could then be compared. It is only 2% because of the small fraction of pairs within a thermal de Broglie wavelength.
