42. 6,9,10,15,40,41 The experiments reported in the companion paper are at the lower end of the scale. Even then, the role of the ions can be enhanced by the presence of a static dc field. This second-order synergetic effect deserves a separate examination in its own right.

45. The same conclusion will follow if we consider first the effect of the field and then the additional coupling due to the core. Due to the high degeneracy, the field alone will lead to clumping of lifetimes, which will be evened out by the coupling due to the core.
