41. 85Rb gas (T=430 nK), with a comparable mean density, did not exhibit any significant losses [2]. Consequently, we expect inelastic collisions to be negligible because these losses should otherwise be visible also in the thermal gas.

47. We note that the elimination of the pair function conveniently reduces the spatial degrees of freedom from six dimensions in Eqs. (2) and (3) to three dimensions in Eq. (16).
48. res(r) is not a bound state of the two-body Hamiltonian (4). This state would thus dissociate.
