...H

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

...energy.

The quantity $\mu$ 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.

In YBa₂Cu₃O$_{7-\delta}$, the muon depolarization rate in the normal state $\sigma_N$ is extremely small, so that $\sigma_{\rm dis} \! \approx \! \sigma_f$.
