A. Georges lecture notes [|arXiv:cond-mat/0702122v1] Bloch, Dalibard, Zwerger review for RMP [|arXiv:0704.3011v2]


 * Understanding Experiments**

The main aim is to be able to interpret, and critically examine, the experimental data presented in seminars. So pick a common experimental technique, describe how the results are obtained, the relation to theoretical quantities, show several example data sets and how to interpret them, and finally summarize weaknesses of the technique.

Suggestions and requests(please add!):

Neutron scattering Nuclear magnetic resonance Muon Spectroscopy Photoemission(ARPES etc)
