Experiments in physics 2

Regular enrolement

In this course the students have the choice of the selecting three of the following lab exercises:
• Multianode photomultiplier tubes and diffraction experiment with single photons
• Determination of the mass difference of D mesons, mD *-mD
• Plasma diagnostics
• EXAFS
• Transmission electron microscopy of nanotubes
• Reactor: the critical experiment
• Reactor: response to a change in the reactivity of the reactor

• Specialna literatura ob posameznih vajah.

Students learn about basic experimental methods of physics.
Subject-specific competencies: Knowledge, understanding and practical hands-on experience in complex measurements in various fields physics. A large fraction of the lab exercises are carried out at the J. Stefan Institute.

Knowledge and understanding:
Acquire practical knowledge in the fields of experimental physics and instrumentation.
Application:
Ability to work with complex experimental equipment. Understanding critical parameters in experimentation in physics.
Reflection:
A critical assessment of an experimental apparatus, its accuracy and reliability.
Transferable skills:
Ability to work on a complex apparatus, data acquisition, and its collection and analysis. Ability to determine the accuracy of the measurement.

Lectures, laboratory excercises, analysis of measurements.

Reports on 5 lab excercises.
5 - 10, a student passes the exam if he is graded from 6 to 10
