20. We have checked the consistency of our experimental findings also using straight line CPWs.
21. Details of this resonance in the so called "reentrant insulating phase" (RIP [6], for 1/5 <
22. -2) and up to 33 T shows resonance "B" to continuously evolve down to v ∼ 0.06. No other resonances are observed in the spectrum at such small v.
23. pk ∼ 1 GHz or higher. Our samples show a nearly flat spectrum at such high f.
24. Typically, the spectrum in the crossover regime displays only a single bump at such high T and becomes flat for T ≳ 160 mK.
