57. s was observed in the vicinity of the Feschbach resonance.
58. This is the equivalence principle. A nice discussion of the equivalence principle in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics can be found in D. M. Greenberger, Am. J. Phys. 47, 35 (1979).
59. An equivalent argument consists in imposing the condition that the Euclidean action acquired by the particle tunneling under the barrier is much larger than ℏ.
