Abstract

Across experimental physics there is a common theme in the design of experiments. One part of this theme is finding a way to produce the system for study. Another part is designing the equipment to collect the signals required to interpret what the system is doing. In nuclear physics, the appropriate choice of reaction will create the desired system and the equipment for signal collection will depend on what is to be measured. This chapter will discuss the reaction, detectors, and techniques used in the examination of transverse wobbling in135Pr.
