23. The coherence time of an individual peak depends on the mean number of particles and fluctuations of the number of particles in this mode, see Ref..
24. Since the precise phase variation across the real-space images of the condensed modes is not known, it is not possible to show a precise equivalence between the experimental real and k -space images. See also Sec. 3, where the phase variation in real space is discussed.
