SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for physics books that focus exclusively on experiments and their results, particularly in quantum mechanics and relativity. Participants suggest that such resources are typically found in Learned Journals, which often compile proceedings from learned societies. The emphasis is on books that detail experimental setups, variations, and data without delving into interpretations or conclusions. This highlights a gap in mainstream literature for readers seeking purely experimental accounts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with general and special relativity concepts
  • Knowledge of experimental physics methodologies
  • Awareness of academic publishing formats, particularly Learned Journals
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specific Learned Journals in physics for experimental studies
  • Explore books that compile experimental results in quantum mechanics
  • Investigate resources on the double-slit experiment and its variations
  • Look into proceedings from learned societies in physics for comprehensive experimental data
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, researchers in experimental physics, and educators seeking resources that focus on empirical data and experimental methodologies in quantum mechanics and relativity.

Hello, I was wondering if there are any good recommendable physics books out there of which the main goal is to describe performed experiments and their results. I'm mainly interested in quantum mechanics right now but other fields such as general and special relativity are very welcome as well.
I was hoping that there would be a book which would for example not only say what the double-slit experiment is, but also report on many variations, report what the data actually is, report what equipment has been used, and so on. Interpretations or conclusions about the results of the results aren't necessarily needed.

They are usually called Learned Journals, very often the proceedings of learned societies.
