Notes

  1. 1.

    Please note that the traces are not precisely vertical in the projection region. Therefore the determined width is slightly broadened by the tilt of the curves.

  2. 2.

    Considering the high energetic contributions in Fig. 6.7c we assume that channel \((1,3)\) will mainly be produced in an excited state.
