Descriptif

In Advanced Lab III, students have the opportunity to apply the physics knowledge they have acquired over the course of 6 lab sessions of 4 hours each. In PHY 303, the students will discover a more autonomous style of experimentation.  The lab sessions will be centered on modern physics and are expected to address several among the following subjects: quantum physics (e.g. Nuclear magnetic resonance), subatomic physics (e.g. Compton scattering, half-life of the muon), condensed matter physics (e.g. cristallography), modern optics (e.g. lasers) as well as solid mechanics (e.g. mechanics of deformable bodies). It is envisaged to encourage project work, and to provide the possibility to extend more elaborate experiments over two sessions.

Upon completion of this course, students will have acquired advanced experimental skills allowing them to set up, carry out and to critically analyze experiments in physics.
