\ E_{n} = n(E_a+\delta_n)  \end{equation}  Assuming that the experiment took place at typical tube pressures $\lambda$ should be much smaller than the distance between $G_{1}$ and $G_{2}$. Thus $\delta_{n}\ll E_{a}$ and:   \begin{equation}\label{eq:EnergyGained}   \ delta_{n} \begin{equation}\label{eq:deltan}   \delta_{n}  = n\frac{\lambda}{L}E_{a} \end{equation}  Combining Equations 2 and 3, an expression for the long mean free path limit can be written:   \begin{equation}\label{eq:LongMeanFreePath}
