Advanced Laboratory

This is a wiki for the Advanced Laboratory course (173.308/608) at Johns Hopkins University in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. The advanced laboratory involves the execution, analysis and presentation of several important experiments.

The Experiments

Syllabus and Extra Information

The sites for years before 2011 contain additional information about experiments beyond that offered on this wiki. (Links may become stale if original authors remove content.)

Contacts

The experiments and Physics Undergraduate Computer lab are maintained by Steve Wonnell (wonnell@pha.jhu.edu).

See pages of specific years (above) for information about course instructors

Location and Access

The all experiments associated with the lab are located in room 478 of Bloomberg Hall: the Physics Undergraduate Computer (PUC) lab. Access to the PUC lab is managed by Steve Wonnell.

-This is a wiki for the Advanced Laboratory course (173.308/608) at Johns Hopkins University in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. The advanced laboratory involves the execution, analysis and presentation of several important measurements which helped form the foundation of modern physics. The wiki is meant to serve as a clearinghouse for information from the instructor and TAs as well as a general forum for course participants.

+====LaTex====
+LaTex is a powerful typesetting tool that can seamlessly insert figures, render math formulae, professionally structure a paper, and include title pages and bibliography with ease.
+You can find LaTex compilers and editing tools [http://www.latex-project.org/ here].
+[http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/CTAN/info/lshort/english/lshort.pdf Here] is good quick-reference guide to LaTex formatting. (The first couple of chapters are the most useful for learning the basics; chapter three is mostly useful for reference. Beyond that involves more advanced tricks.)
 ====Analysis Tools====
-;Enthought Python: Includes numpy, scipy, matplotlib. Free for academics. [http://www.enthought.com/products/edudownload.php Download]
