44. The largest magnetic field, which the atoms experience in our setup, is about 100 G. According to the Breit-Rabi formula [G. Breit and I. I. Rabi, Phys. Rev. PHRVAO 0031-899X 10.1103/PhysRev.38.2082.2 38, 2082 (1931)] the quadratic correction to the Zeeman shift is 3% for Rb87, atoms in the F=1, mF =-1 hyperfine state of the ground term at this magnetic field.
