a Normalised helium signal as a function of time. The error bars represent ± 1 standard deviation of the average, calculated from the repeat measurements (n = 153). b Solenoid control current, I1, as a function of time. c Average helium signals for the two control currents, excluding the first 8 s after changing the current to let the surface coverage stabilise. The error bars represent ± 1 standard deviation of the average, calculated from the repeat measurements (n = 40). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
