26. Our numerical threshold fields are extracted from the F dependence of the ionization yield as the fundamental experimental observable. For all other parameters fixed, the relative numerical error ΔF010% is determined by the step size in F and is estimated on the order of few percent. This, as well as the weak dependence of F010% on neff (which was fixed at neff=270 in our present calculations), leaves the significance of the structures observed in Figs. 1 2 3 qualitatively unaffected.
