AbstractPraktische Einführung in die Grundlagen des Experimentierens.
Learning objectiveEs werden 3 Physikexperimente absolviert. Zwei Experimente werden vor Ort in den Laboren des HPP durchgeführt, und ein Experiment wird zuhause („remote“) durchgeführt. Allen Experimenten gemeinsam ist das Erlernen grundlegender Eigenschaften beim Experimentieren, das Kennenlernen von einfachen Messmethoden, das kritische Auseinandersetzen mit Beobachtungen und Resultaten, sowie das Darstellen und Kommunizieren wissenschaftlicher Ergebnisse.
Jedes der drei Experimente hat zusätzlich noch einen anderen Fokus: statistische und systematische Fehler, Gauss’sche Fehlerrechnung, oder das Verfassen wissenschaftlicher Berichte.
ContentVerschiedene Versuche aus den Bereichen Mechanik, Optik und Thermodynamik.
Lecture notesAnleitungen zum Physikpraktikum; Einführende Zusammenfassungen und Skripte zur Fehlerrechnung werden auf der Webseite der Veranstaltung publiziert.

AbstractMaterials analysis by MeV ion beams. Nuclear techniques are presented which allow to quantitatively investigate the composition, structure and trace element content of solids.
Learning objectiveStudents learn the basic concepts of ion beam analysis and its different analytical techniques. They understand how experimental data is taken and interpreted. They are able to chose the appropriate method of analysis to solve a given problem.
ContentThe course treats applications of nuclear methods in other fields of research. Materials analysis by ion beam analysis is emphasized. Techniques are presented which allow the quantitative investigation of composition, structure, and trace element content of solids:
- elasic nuclear scattering (Rutherfor Backscattering, Recoil detection)
- nuclear (resonant) reaction analysis
- activation analysis
- ion beam channeling (investigation of crystal defects)
- neutron sources
- MeV ion microprobes, imaging surface analysis

The course is also suited for graduate students.
Lecture notesLecture notes will be distributed in pdf.
