34. In principle, a more precise treatment for the density-to-flux conversion would utilize the full velocity distribution. In practice under the experimental conditions used here this is not necessary as the density-to-flux conversion is rather small. Experimentalists treating other systems with this or other experimental methods should pay strict attention to the approximation used in this work and whether it still holds in other cases.
