Our data are taken for a peak atomic density in the condensate varying between $2\\times 10^{14}$ cm$^{-3}$ at initial time and $7\\times 10^{13}$ cm$^{-3}$, 16 seconds later. Taking into account the influence of the uncondensed atoms onto the decay of the condensate, we deduce a rate constant for condensed atoms $L=1.8 (\\pm 0.5) \\times 10^{-29}$ cm$^{6} $s$^{-1}$. For these densities we did not find a significant contribution of two-body proc"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"cond-mat/9811339","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
