In-class presentation will cover one of the published research papers in experimental particle physics (high energy physics). These papers can be taken from the textbook "The Experimental Foundations of Particle Physics" by Robert N. Cahn and Gerson Goldhaber (seond edition). In the list below, both location of the article in the above book and its direct link are given. Access to PROLA database is provided through the subscription of the Johns Hopkins University.

Presentations will take place in the last month of classes. Each presentation will be approximately 20 minutes with typically three people presenting in each class. Computer projector could be used for presentation. In addition, a one-page outline of the presentation is due in March.
