PHY 243W Advanced Experimental Techniques I

Semester: Fall
Credit Hours: 4
Prerequisite: PHY 217, PHY 237 and MTH 164 (may be taken concurrently)

Students work in pairs and each team is expected to perform three or four experiments from a variety of available setups such as Berry's phase with light, Universal chaos, lifetime of cosmic ray muons, optical pumping, electron diffraction's, etc. This is a hands-on laboratory with most experiments under computer control. This course can be used towards satisfying part of the upper-level writing requirement.
