In order to account for a background of bare atoms that undergo an atomic transition due to the finite detuning and finite spectral width of the rf pulse, the surface fit model is a bimodal sum of two Gaussians. The width of the first Gaussian is fixed and measures the bare atom transition background, while the width of the second Gaussian measures the kinetic energy plotted in Fig. 4.
