16. The choice of 20% uncondensed pairs (z) is a compromise between the experimental resolution and the ability to distinguish the single-gap configuration from the two-gap one. The difference among various configurations is more dramatic at lower z. The noise floor (around 1 mJ/mol K2 over 5-10 K) and the uncertainty in the scale correction, however, make a z<10% unfavorable.
