Any good book on Advanced Laboratory physics?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the search for advanced laboratory physics books that go beyond basic experiments and focus on significant modern physics experiments, such as the Stern-Gerlach experiment. The user, a theoretical physics student specializing in condensed matter physics, expresses a desire to improve their understanding of experimental physics, noting that their classmates lack systematic training in the subject. A suggestion is made for a book by Napolitano, specifically the second edition of "Experiments in Modern Physics," which is confirmed as a relevant resource. The conversation highlights the need for accessible yet comprehensive materials in experimental physics for students transitioning from theoretical studies.

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?

By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
