11. For example, in the collaborative work, T. D. G. Walsh et al., Phys. Rev. A 58, 3922 (1998), several renowned groups made this assumption. At the time, one of the present authors also believed in a broad distribution; see, for example, M. R. Thompson et al., J. Phys. B 30, 5755 (1997). Also in a very recent work, X. M. Tong, Z. X. Zhao, and C.D. Lin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 233203 (2003), this assumption is again made.
