Lab course (Praktikum)
The lab course takes place at a beam line at PSI during CW 34 (17-23 August) ). Each participant should spend three full days at PSI. All participants work together as a single team to analyse the collected data and write a joint lab report. In case of questions, please contact Lea Caminada und Olaf Steinkamp at the email addresses listed at the top of this page.
