Alan Goldwater, Bob Greenyer, Skip Reynolds, and Mark Jurich (hope I didn't miss anyone there) have begun a replication of the GS5.2 experiment, deftly named GS5.3. The experiment is in the early phases of heat treatment of the Ni powder I believe. The live video feed links can be found at:

We are all hoping for a repeat performance of the "signal", the gamma burst output. In GS5.3, the team is much better prepared to monitor the radiations. Time bases for all of the data acquistions have been carefully synchronized. Amptek has generously loaned MFMP an X-123 CdTe x-ray spectrometer capable of about 6keV to 80keV measurement. Mark Jurich has borrowed an x-ray scintillator system from SLAC to monitor. The GM detector has been upgraded to a sensitive 2" pancake detector. I believe they also have the Optris camera running. If the signal pixie makes an appearance, it will definitely be in the limelight. The experiment will be running continuously for several days to come. It takes a team to monitor such an experiment over so long a period. Jones, can you elaborate on Holmlid's call for replication?
