New world record (work stuff)

I just got home from work at about 11 pm on Saturday July 11. We had a special high intensity beam development shift. We tuned up the SNS accelerator and accumulator ring and for the first time anywhere in the world we produced, accumulated, stored, and extracted a beam intensity of 1.5e14 protons per pulse. This is the full SNS design beam intensity.
