Comments and suggestions 1. Klystron is very hot and the high voltage (~300V) is applied to repeller. 2. You have to do 6 (!) experiment in one Lab session take care about time management. The most time consuming experiment is the Bragg diffraction. 3. Do not put on the tables any extra stuff this will cause extra reflections of microwaves and could result in smearing of the data. 4. This is two weeks experiment but the equipment for the week 2 will be different. Please finish all week 1 measurements until the end of this week Good luck! 34
