33. We have independently measured the s -shell diamagnetic shift to be 2 meV over the range of magnetic fields investigated. Formally, the detection energy should have been changed at every magnetic field to account for this effect. In view of the small magnitude of this shift compared to p - and d -shell shifts, this was neglected in the experiment and the detection energy was kept constant. This produces a small error on the slope of the shifts observed in Fig. 4 where transitions should shift +2 meV/T faster than observed. This does not affect results at 0 T.
