11. This width is larger than that in the pure magnetic trap, presumably due to a broadening of the sample during loading in the lattice.

15. -7 for potassium atoms.
16. The distribution peak actually never reaches the edges of the Brillouin zone, mainly because of a smoothing due to the adiabatic release from the lattice.
