33. The theorectical recalibration of empirical temperatures is performed at the coupling constant 1/ kF a=+0.11, by using the mean-field crossover theory of Chen et al.. This small detuning of coupling constant, with respect to the experimental situation of 1/ kF a□-0.03, is required in order to predict theorectically the same value of zero temperature energy as measured.
34. In contrast, the crossover theory of Chen et al. fails to predict such apparent superfluid transition, although it has been used to recalibrate the measured empirical temperatures.
35. The resulting empirical temperature itself is model-independent. However, to recover the actual temperature, an assumption is used that the full three-dimensional density distribution in the unitary limit is close to an ideal TF functional form. We have checked this, and found that this essential assumption is not well-satisfied either in the mean-field or NSR theories. Hence, the mapping from empirical to actual temperatures can have large random and systematic errors.
