Method for traveling-wave deceleration of buffer-gas beams of CH
M. I. Fabrikant, Tian Li, N. J. Fitch +3
Cryogenic buffer-gas beams are a promising method for producing bright sources of cold molecular radicals for cold collision and chemical reaction experiments. In order to use thes…
An epistemology and expectations survey about experimental physics: Development and initial results
Benjamin M. Zwickl, Takako Hirokawa, Noah Finkelstein +1
In response to national calls to better align physics laboratory courses with the way physicists engage in research, we have developed an epistemology and expectations survey to as…
A search for varying fundamental constants using Hz-level frequency measurements of cold CH molecules
S. Truppe, R. J. Hendricks, S. K. Tokunaga +5
Many modern theories predict that the fundamental constants depend on time, position, or the local density of matter. We develop a spectroscopic method for pulsed beams of cold mol…
Development and results from a survey on students views of experiments in lab classes and research
Benjamin M. Zwickl, Takako Hirokawa, Noah Finkelstein +1
The Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey for Experimental Physics (E-CLASS) was developed as a broadly applicable assessment tool for undergraduate physics lab courses.…
Incorporating learning goals about modeling into an upper-division physics laboratory experiment
Benjamin M. Zwickl, Noah Finkelstein, H. J. Lewandowski
Implementing a laboratory activity involves a complex interplay among learning goals, available resources, feedback about the existing course, best practices for teaching, and an o…
