14. Even the population of a weakly bound state is rather inefficient due to the proximity of the laser frequencies to atomic resonance and the excitation of the atomic condensate by the second laser [D. Heinzen (private communication)].

24. With the relatively slow microsecond Feshbach field sweep, the depletion of the correlation function in the atomic condensate at short range plays a minor role [M. Holland et al., e-print cond-mat/0005062 (2000), and private communication].
