28. Note that this is an axial Thomas-Fermi approximation which is done when the transverse wave-function is far form the Thomas-Fermi regime. When the transverse component gets also in the Thomas-Fermi regime, equation (7) still holds, but the form of the sound velocity in (8) is modified (as discussed at the end of Sect. 3)

45. A possible way to further decrease the localization length would be to decrease the typical peak spacing of the speckle pattern
46. The damping of the dipole oscillations are also studied for other amplitude of disorder in reference [15]: 〈U〉/μ = 0.4 and 1, but we cannot address these regimes, equation (43) being only valid if 2 〈U〉/μ ≪ 1
