PHSX 444 — Advanced Physics Lab: 4 Credits (2 Lec, 2 Lab)
(F, Sp) Introduction to methods, instrumentation, and data acquisition techniques used in modern physics research. Different experiments are offered in the two semesters. For students desiring a strong experimental exposure, taking both courses is recommended. Experiments in the fall semester are typically in the optical area and include interferometers, fiber optics, spectral measurement, polarization, and laser optics. Experiments in spring semester are typically in solid state physics and particle spectroscopy. Co-convened with PHSX 516 . Repeatable up to 8 credits.
Prerequisites: PHSX 262, PHSX 343
