17. The highest value of (Formula presented) considered in the present applications is of the order of 15%. If the magnetic field approached the Feshbach resonance even further, the low-energy binary scattering in the presence of the trap might no longer be well characterized by a scattering length [see E. Tiesinga, C.J. Williams, F.H. Mies, and P.S. Julienne, Phys. Rev. A 61, 063416 (2000)].
