I commented to the folks running this experiment:

and Prof Dick Bierman, of the University of Amsterdam , replied:
The raw data are public. Aynbody can make a running log. I have asked
Roger to supply the running log of one year's of data. Of course
that is a lot of calcualtions but I have heard that Dean Radin has
gone back a number of months now and sep11 is still the only peak of
that magnitude.
