During the testing, Des made some recordings of what it sounds like when we are kicking the protons. Listen here! The voice at the start of the sound clip is Des'.

(March 8, 2017) Photo: The laying of the last brick. Students (Left to right) Beryl Bell, Sean Vanbergen, and Matthew Palmer set the final graphite brick into place near the UCN cryostat. The graphite is used as a moderator and reflector for neutrons, giving them a chance to enter the superfluid helium in the cryostat and become ultracold.
