60. If the mean-field frequencies satisfy Λ122 Λ11Λ22, where Λii is the mean-field energy for intraparticle interactions and Λij is the mean-field energy for interparticle interactions, then the two condensates are immiscible [22] and heteronuclear photoassociation will of course cease. For LiNa considered herein, miscibility need not be an issue.

71. /2. This assumes that T~100 nk is at or above the onset temperature of the Wigner threshold law, below which the rate constant is independent of temperature. If the onset temperature is higher, say, 500 nK, the free-ground intensities estimated herein will increase by about an order of magnitude.
