Calendar

In this course, students are divided into three groups for the laboratory experiments. Each group begins working on a different experiment and completes a cycle of three experiments by the end of the semester. As a result, no two groups ever work on the same experiment at the same time. The experiments schedule shows this rotation format.

During the first six weeks of the course, the class attends a series of lectures on the general background and theory relevant to the experiments. A detailed discussion of each experiment is also presented to each laboratory group when they begin the experiment. These group sessions are designated as Conferences. Lecture and Conference topics are presented in the lecture schedule below.
