Transcript of Stern-Gerlach Experiment Physics 243 Fall 2007 Chris Osborn Daniel Richman.
Gradus ad parnassum• Evacuate chamber
– mechanical to 10-2 mbar– diffusion to 4x10-5 mbar (with cooling)
• Potassium oven– load potassium under nitrogen pressure– heat to 180 oC – 250 oC
• Detect beam of particles– Do we have a collimated/directed beam?– Why aren’t we seeing a current on
electrometer?• no consistent behavior of electrometer
