On the middle column of the second page (above the picture), it lists a few uses of genuine DC: one is evidently referring to SETI, another to medical research, and a third mentions "simulating events inside a particle accelerator". Unless there is another particle accelerator DC project on the net I haven't seen, the author of that article must be referring to Muon1.
