Measurements were made in four campaigns done between December 2017 and May 2019. Proton cooled using an ion cloud and superconducting circuit. This ion was used instead of a positively charged proton so the two measurements could be done under the same experimental conditions – and therefore compared to a very high precision.

As glass gets thinner, however, it becomes ever harder to set up a substantial difference in cooling rate between the core and the surface.
