\section{Schedule}

You will conduct four two-week experiments and extend one of the
experiments for your technical report. The experiments will be done in
pairs and in a rotation to be established after the Orientation
meeting in the first week, in which you will be introduced to each
experiment. The manual describes more experiments than are currently
available. Some of those unavailable at the time this manual was
prepared may become serviceable during the term. If so, we can use a
lottery system to decide which teams may conduct them, if more than
one team is interested.

Currently, the following experiments are working and available:
\medskip
\begin{compactenum}[\hspace*{.5in}1.]
\item Rutherford scattering (3)
\item The Hall effect (4) + the photoelectric effect (7) (each lasts only one week)
\item Gamma radiation interactions (5)
\item Barrier penetration (6)
\item The Cavendish experiment (8)
\item Chaotic motion (9)
\end{compactenum}
%
\medskip
A vacuum system has been ordered for the Thermal Radiation experiment
(Expt.\ 2), but it may not arrive before spring break. The
Franck-Hertz experiment (Expt.\ 1) may replace the photoelectric
experiment at some point during the semester, if the latter gets sick.
