In this equation, is defined from the initial decay rate of the field, where the supercurrents are largest [35]. However, measurements of involve a distribution of supercurrent densities over one or more spatial dimensions. Thus Eq. (2.1) is a more appropriate definition for .

The quantity must be an odd half-integer to ensure that the wave functions u and v in the Bogoliubov equations describing the excited states in the vortex core are single-valued, as discussed in Ref. [125].

Recall from Chapter 4 that the Fourier transform diminishes the signal-to-noise ratio somewhat by weighting all of the time bins equally.
