A new version of the Counting Nuclear Radiation handout has been posted here. Please take a careful look at the section starting at the bottom of page 3 that describes how to install your 1 GΩ resistor and use it to measure the tube voltage. This will be covered in lab tomorrow.

The homework assignments due next week will be posted in a few days.

The homework assignments for week 3 have been posted here.

Please note that several items are due to the TAs this evening, and your first lab report is due Friday. See the week 2 homework here.

Some resources and documentation for the first two experiments (Soldering and Counting Nuclear Radiation) have been posted here.

This week we will prepare for the labs by going over some skills you will need to write your lab reports. You will need to be able to use some sort of scientific data analysis and plotting software. If you already know Matlab, Mathematica, or something similar, those are fine to use. If not, I strongly recommend you use Python. Please do not attempt to use a spreadsheet for this purpose.

You will be required to use LaTeX to write your lab reports. Many students choose to use an online LaTeX system called Overleaf. That's fine.

Lab sessions will be held on Zoom. The first meeting is today at 1:00 PM. This week's schedule can be found here. You will receive a link via email.

Please have a look at the assignments here.
