37. The amplitude of the NSE signal is affected by the specific band pass of the instrument. Therefore, the normalization is not perfect.

40. We have assumed the same inelasticity effects for the coherent and the incoherent contributions and independent of the deuteration level. We note that in any case they are very small [Fig.].

44. Due to the band pass influence on the NSE normalization, the experimentally deduced values for the DWF are larger than the real ones.
