26. One may expect that if the applied field is high enough, the spins align along its direction.

34. This relaxation function does not contradict that used in Ref., however, transverse field muon precession measurements show no evidence for three inequivalent muon sites in the sample. Therefore we use this function to estimate the relaxation rate averaged over all sites.
