32. dd = 0.75a. However, this approach misses diagrams which give a contribution of the same order of magnitude.
33. Because of small momenta of the atoms in the dimer, only the s-wave atom-atom interactions (provided by a single potential) are important This is different from the case of small molecules, where atomic momenta are large and one has various (nonadditive) interactions; see P.
