PHYS 3700 - Advanced Physics Laboratory

4 credit hours
Formerly - PHYS 370

Experimental physics laboratory to introduce students to the work of a professional experimental physicist. Students will design and execute a few experiments in depth in such areas as chaotic dynamical systems, laser diode spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, sonoluminescence, plasma physics, superconductivity, and nuclear physics, and will learn state-of-the-art computer-based data acquisition techniques, such as LabView. Students will present a talk in the style of a professional physics conference and prepare a paper in the style of a professional physics research journal.

Prerequisite Course/s: PHYS 2050, 2060, MATH 2340
Terms Typically Offered: Winter of alternate years
