Lab course (Praktikum)
The lab course takes place at a beam line at PSI during CW 33 (August 11-17). Each participant should spend two full days at PSI. We will discuss the schedule and other details during on June 4th. 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 our email addresses listed at the top of this page.
