22. It should be noted that in the experiment temperature was measured before splitting, while we define temperature after splitting. There may be significant cooling due to the splitting process, during which the volume of the BEC approximately doubles and hence the energy approximately halves.

33. As the vortices are approximately cylindrically symmetrical along the y direction, their associated Fourier components are almost identical in the x and z directions.
