The first two lab sessions are devoted to preliminary experiments which will familiarize you with the concepts, apparatus, and procedures, including computing tools, you will use in the experiments that follow.
Your work on Lab 0 wiil be graded for feedback, but will not count towards the final course grade.
Course materials are the work of current and prior course staff. Slides and supplementary materials labeled "EVC" and “JF” are due to E.V Colla and J. Filippini, respectively, who are also coauthors on the course lectures.
