Methods of Experimental Physics (PHYS 4051/4052W)
Welcome to the home page for the Methods of Experimental Physics classes at the University of Minnesota. These courses are a two-semester sequence on the techniques used in a modern experimental physics laboratory. Because of the importance of electronic instrumentation in today's physics experiments, the first semester of the laboratory will deal with the use of analog and digital techniques for processing electronic signals and with the use of computer instrumentation. The second semester laboratory will consist primarily of a single experimental project taken by the student through the stages of design, proposal, construction, data acquisition, analysis, oral presentation, and written report.
Phys 4051This course is the first part of the Methods of Experimental Physics sequence. In this semester, students gain experience using analog and digital electronics by building various circuits that are in widespread use. They also learn how to use FPGAs, Verilog, LabVIEW, and signal processing. Spring 2018 Syllabus: PHYS 4051 Spring 2018 Syllabus Phys 4052W Project Guidelines: ProjectGuidelines.pdf
