For the past week or so, Dr. Bickel and I have mainly been focusing on preparing for the "International Physics Conference," when Dr. Bickel and a Professor from PCC gather some of their students and hold a conference where each student presents on a topic of interest. The conference is catered by "expert chef" - which fills me with fear.
Culinary pitfalls aside, the conference is a great opportunity and a sort of "first run" for my final presentation to the basis community. My presentation focuses on the work I've done so far in the project, and the equipment I've used. It will sum up with a description of my final research goal, and how I intend to achieve it.
The Stark/Zeeman Effects are difficult to discover, and my results will probably be unspectacular - if we see any at all. Dr. Bickel assures me, however, that finding any noticeable change in the spectral lines is an achievement in and of itself.
