25. The minimum ablation energy is limited by our need to produce high titanium densities. The maximum is limited by the capabilities of our laser.
26. The minimum helium density is limited due to poor titanium atom densities obtained at low helium pressure. The maximum helium density is limited by our restriction that the titanium distribution must fit well to the lowest-order diffusion mode, this is no longer the case at high helium pressures.
27. We cannot measure collisions at earlier times because the density distribution has not yet reached the lowest mode and/or the absorption spectroscopy is saturated. At later times we can no longer measure Ti-Ti collisions due to low titanium atom density.
