23. To optimize the rf coupling, the rf magnetic field has to be aligned in a direction orthogonal to the local static magnetic field at the position of the atoms inside the egg shell trap, which in our experiment remains in the x z plane as the rf detuning is increased.
24. The iso-B lines are plotted for a QUIC trap in [18].
25. The deviation from a circle in the y z plane is less than 2% for a radius of 2 mm.
