59. In the literature, there are different definitions of the Doppler width Δ ω D. In this work, we define Δ ω D = k p v T.
60. In the literature, it is also called the ground state of the MB equations (2) and (6). Here we use the name "base state" to avoid possible confusion with the atomic ground state | 1.
