Title: Bringing atomic and nuclear physics laboratory data into the classroom

Journal Article · · American Journal of Physics
OSTI ID:834629

To illustrate a number of basic concepts in atomic and nuclear physics, we have developed three websites where students can analyze data from modern laboratories. By working through the on-line procedures, students will become acquainted with characteristic x-ray spectra, the concept of half-life, x-ray fluorescence, and neutron activation analysis.
