And the winner is ...
As in many things in nuclear physics this ended up being a collaborative effort, and the award should go to Kilburn, Walsh, et. al. But we want to save some of Geoff's t-shirts for the prize of the upcoming 'detectors of the world' contest, so lets award points for the first to have identified a lab:
Micha: 5
Kathy: 3
Matt: 2
A t-shirt for Micha and espresso for everyone!
