39. In the case of the L6 i- R 87 b mixture, there is no evidence that the Lithium atoms are thermalized at the measured temperature of the Rubidium gas, due to the slow thermalization between L6 i and R 87 b [Philippe Courteille (private communication)].

56. There is a tradeoff in decreasing the boson trapping frequency ωb since the efficiency of evaporative cooling in itself is inversely proportional to the boson heat capacity. Also, a smaller ωb implies lower densities of the Bose cloud, implying slower thermalization. Cooling strategies in which the boson trapping frequency is instead kept constant, while the fermion trapping frequency is increased, are possible alternatives to overcome these limitations.
57. It is worthwhile to point out that in most of the experiments using Fermi-Bose mixtures and focusing on fermion studies, the residual Bose component is anyway removed after sympathetic cooling.
