Natalie,
Eugene's description of transferring the butanol beads from storage in 
LN2 to the FROST refrigerator is correct.

I would also edit the bottom two bullets on that slide, describing the 
magnets.
-- Target sample is dynamically polarized at 250 mK using an external 5 
T solenoid;
-- An internal racetrack coil (0.5 T) is used to rotate and hold the 
polarization transverse to the electron beam during data acquisition;

> Butanol doped with TEMPO dripped into LN2 bath where droplets solidify into bids. They were kept in LN2 until the in-beam cryostat is cold and ready to be loaded with target material. Butanol bids were loaded in to the target cup which is still kept in LN2. At this time LHe is removed from the mixing chamber, cryostat is open. The cup with butanol bids is taken out from the LN2 and quickly inserted in cold but empty mixing chamber. Then cryostat is closed, pumped and filled with 4He and 3He mixture and cooled down. After that it is ready to be polarized.

Just describe event selection in terms of physics variables (time, velocity, momentum, mass etc.) I also don't quite understand statement: Protons and kaons fall nicely in
