PHYS 6751 - Graduate Laboratory: Nuclear and Particle
Laboratory techniques and practices in nuclear and particle physics. Topics will include: introduction to observable quantities in nuclear physics experiments, introduction to detectors and instrumentation in nuclear and particle physics, operation of experimental instrumentation, data analysis and error analysis. Typical experiments may include: high precision gamma ray spectroscopy, charged particle spectroscopy, accelerator-based nuclear physics measurements, detection of gamma rays or charged particles in scintillation detectors.
Requisites:
Credit Hours: 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May not be retaken.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 4.0 laboratory
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes:
- Apply data analysis and error analysis techniques.
- At the conclusion of this course, students should be able to:
- Describe detector systems and instrumentation common to nuclear and particle physics experiments.
- Discuss how the physics goals of a particular measurement would motivate the choice of apparatus.
- Present orally the results from one of their experiments or a literature review of a related topic, in the style of conference presentations in nuclear and particle physics.
- Present the data, analysis, and conclusions of an experiment in a written report following the conventions of peer-reviewed publications in nuclear and particle physics.
