24. The inherent spin-3/2 state of the model, if each level is occupied by each one electron, is a higher order excitation with an energy of δ+ δ′ above the ground state and is therefore in experiments mostly masked by charge excitations.
25. From private communications with S. Csonka, we have learned that the relevant inelastic cotunneling lines were not resolved by the bias range explored in that experiment and therefore the effect could not be checked in this experiment.
