2. Let's expand a bit on the oven ideas. I assume one starts with a
little oven (or fridge) full of a large number of hydrogen atoms. So
the temperature of the gas is well defined. Then I assume the
launchers consist of drilling small holes in the oven (opening into
a vacuum chamber).
I can compute lambda1 = h/p where p is a momentum of a single atom. I
can also compute lambda2 = h/sqrt(2*pi*m*k*T) while an atom is in the
oven, where T is well defined.
