[time-nuts] Choice of MASER gas

[J. Forster]

FYI, Ron Walsworth did his PhD in Prof. Ike Silvera's Group at Harvard.
Among his advisors were Robert Vesseau of SAO/CFA, the builder of a number
of very high performance H2 MASERS.

Ron's experiment was trying to build an H2 MASER with superfluid He coated
walls.

Best,

-John
