1 Fortgeschrittenes Experimentieren Advanced Physics Laboratory

2 Goal of the lab class hands-on experience with complex experiments data analysis data interpreta4on scien4fic report wri4ng Every student is supposed to complete 4 experiments within one semester

3 What kind of experiments do we offer? I. Regular experiments: Ø General Physics (see Physics I-III) Ø Nuclear- and Par4cle Physics Ø Op4cs (Quantum Electronics) Ø Solid State Physics Ø Astrophysics II. Advanced Student Labs (ASLs): Ø Experiments close to research in a research group Ø Sign-up and work as a team of 1 4 students Ø Some ASLs count as two regular experiments

4 Advanced Student Labs (ASLs) Solid-State Physics Prepare a semiconductor structure in a clean-room using photolithography techiques Op4on: measure the quantum Hall effect on your structure Neutronenstreuung am PSI Par4cle Physics Par4cipate in developing a novel detector using scin4lla4ng fibres study cosmic rays, detect muons,... eth zürich

5 Astronomy Observe and take pictures of planets, galaxies,... Measure proper4es of back-scasered light Quantum Op4cs Quantum dots as single photon sources Hanbury-Brown-Twiss experiment Atom-Photon interac4on Entangled Photons Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Intersubband Transi4ons eth zürich Advanced Student Labs (ASLs)

10 Regular experiments in HPP Opening hours (only during semester): Mon Fri, 8am 6pm, except Thu Ø Labs are closed during semester breaks Obligatory lab class day: Mondays Ø Assistants are available on Mondays (personal appointments possible on other days)

11 Procedures Step I: Sign up for an exeriment Ø Mon , HPP H12 Ø Wed , HPP H12 Step II: Perform experiment Ø typically within 3 weeks Step III: Return experiment (HPP H12) Ø (electronic) signature "measurement finished" from assistant required Step IV: Write report Ø hand in report to assistant Ø make correc4ons required by assistant Ø (electronic) signature "report handed in" from assistant eth zürich Step V: Hand in report to Profs

12 Working as a team You can work on selected experiments as a team, but: Ø Measurements are done as a team Ø Each student performs an independent data analysis Ø Each student writes his/her own independent report

13 Starting an experiment Ø Carefully read the instruc4on manual before you meet the assistant Ø Familiarize yourself with safety ma6ers of the experiment Ø Consult addi4onal literature, if you do not understand everything in the instruc4on manual Ø Meet the teaching assistant before you start to work on the experiment

14 Lab book Ø Each experiment starts with a lab-book entry of its 4tle (and date...) Ø Use the lab-book to write down notes about the experiment, experimental procedures, es4mates,... Ø collect the assistant's signatures "measurement finished" and "report handed in" in the lab-book

15 Rules Ø Measurements should be finished within 3 weeks Ø Reports should be handed in not later than 3 weeks aier finishing the experiment Ø ALL reports have to be handed in (to the assistant) before the end of the semester. Ø Incomplete experiments expire at the end of the semester

16 Getting ECTS credit points (9 pts) Ø four experiments completed within ONE year. a) Report accepted and signed by assistant AND b) Report shown and accepted by VP-head (CG or TI) Ø For 9 ECTS expect to invest up to ~ 9*30 = 270 hours / Sem à i.e. up to 60 hour for ONE experiment Ø Excep4ons : some single experiment may count more [addi4onal work done and agreed beforehand with VP-head]

17 If problems arise... Ø Try to solve experimental problems first on your own Ø If something is broken and you cannot repair it yourself: contact the assistant Ø In excep4onal cases, the lab technicians will help Ø Any accidents (even the smallest) have to be reported to the Professors

18 Scientific conduct Plagiarism ETH Zurich Guidelines for Research Integrity At the ETH Zurich research is founded on intellectual honesty. Researchers at the ETH Zurich are commised to scien4fic integrity and truthfulness in research and peer review. ETH Zurich Zi4er Knigge Ein Plagiat ist [...] ein Disziplinarverstoss und mündet in einem Disziplinarverfahren.
