Dec 2019 - Experiment set up in PAIS 1417 and verified by Mike Hasselbeck

Feb 2020 - Taken down and moved to PAIS 1405, along with long optics table

March 2020 - Set up again by Zac Castillo, and revised setup design to make alignment easier

Dec 2020 - Set up again by Youngwoo Yi, with revised setup (compared here)

Feb 2021 - Data taking with new setup successfully completed in 1 lab session by junior lab students

This experiment must be set up on a longer optics table.

This experiment can be completed in one session if optical setup and alignment is done ahead of time.
