a The CDW structure factor at the in-plane wave vector of the b-CDW peaks as a function of L for T = 0.383 and various levels of the change in the CDW-mass, Δgs, that models the effect of a axis compression. The inset depicts the CDW structure factor at the position of the a-peak under the same conditions. b The intensity of the L = 1b-CDW peak in the T-Δgs plane. The broken line marks the superconducting transition temperature. c The temperature dependence of the CDW structure factor at the position of the b-CDW peaks for L = 1 and L = 1/2 in a system with Δgs= −0.2. d The Δgs dependence of the same quantities at T = 0.383. Lines are guides to the eye. The error bars represent the standard deviation of the estimated quantities calculated using rebinning.
