14. In the experiments of (8), an rf transition was measured, where the effect due to inhomogeneous excitations and the motion of atoms was far below their measurement precision.

25. By analyzing the spectral components in sideband spectroscopy, the longitudinal temperature can be accurately determined. Extracting the transverse temperature is more complicated; however, using time-of-flight analysis, we have confirmed that the transverse and longitudinal temperatures are identical both before and after cooling (heating).

28. We have calculated the phase shifts, and corresponding lengths, using a model S+P potential with variable shortrange shapes to change the scattering length over its full range. The short-range shape parameter varies so as to change the threshold phase and scattering length, corresponding approximately to changing the number of bound states in the potential by one. This represents the possible ranges of variation of any Srvan der Waals potential.
