45. It is important to note that even though the speed of this packet is 450 m/s, 20 m/s lower than the pulse mean speed, no deceleration has occurred. Instead, the molecules in the pulse whose speed was in the range from 450 m/s±25 m/s were loaded into the phase stable bucket as detailed in our earlier work [34].
