Any good book on Advanced Laboratory physics?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for advanced laboratory physics books that go beyond basic experiments. A specific recommendation is made for "Experiments in Modern Physics, 2nd Edition" by Daniel R. Napolitano, which is noted for its comprehensive approach to important experiments in modern physics, including the Stern-Gerlach experiment. The user emphasizes the need for systematic training in experimental physics, particularly for students in theoretical physics, such as those studying condensed matter physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics concepts, particularly classical mechanics.
  • Familiarity with modern physics principles, including quantum mechanics.
  • Knowledge of experimental techniques in physics.
  • Experience with laboratory equipment and data analysis methods.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Experiments in Modern Physics, 2nd Edition" by Daniel R. Napolitano.
  • Explore advanced laboratory techniques in condensed matter physics.
  • Study the Stern-Gerlach experiment and its implications in quantum mechanics.
  • Investigate systematic training programs in experimental physics.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for theoretical physics students, particularly those in condensed matter physics, as well as educators and researchers seeking to enhance their understanding of experimental physics methodologies.

Hi guys,do you have any suggested book on Laboratory physics? I mean something beyond simple freshman experiments such as verify Newton's second law, but still keep general viewpoints, and focus on important experiments in modern physics,for example the S-G experiment of spin magnetic moment.
I’m a student on theoretical physics,mainly study condensed matter physics,after many years study, I found my knowledge on experimental physics is still very poor,I have some classmate on experimental physics and I tried to ask them about this. But they are too technical ,and they learned up everything in their laboratory without any systematic training, they can't help too much.

Napolitano has a nice book on lab physics.

thanks, would you tell me the name of this book? I remember this guy is the author of 2nd edition of J.J Sakurai's Modern quantum mechanics, an experimental physics.
Experiments in modern physics, 2nd ed is it this one?
