33. There is a correlation in the observed line strengths, insofar as almost every resonance with a strong bound-to-bound feature correlates with a fairly strong feature in the photoassociation spectrum. But this does not imply that these lines have a large β. Instead, Eq. 18 shows that ΩR alone (even for β=0) can create a strong loss feature for atoms in state |a illuminated with light resonant with the photoassociation transition as long as Δg is not too large.

37. Here we use a and K2 from Eqs. 15 18. We derived these equations assuming that the sample is Bose condensed which is not the case in a deep optical lattice. But a and K2 express only properties of two-body scattering processes. They are unaffected by the many-body state of the system.
