17. We consider the conditions where the mean free path of the recombination-produced fast atoms and molecules is much larger than the spatial size of the sample, and, being non-trapped, they leave the sample without collisions.
18. In cigar-shaped and pancake condensates, fast atoms penetrate the condensate once per half of the radial and axial oscillation period, respectively.

20. This inequality implicitly assumes that |a| is of the order of or larger than the characteristic radius of interaction between atoms, which is the case for alkali atom gases.
