Facilities The Physics Department is housed in two floors of the Science Tower with faculty and graduate student offices intermingled on the second floor and labs in the basement. The Science Library in the same building contains more than 100,000 volumes and receives 800 journals. All offices are wired to the university networks with Internet access available to all students without charge. There are many networked workstations available in the Physics Department and several public data labs across campus. The technical support facilities include a professionally staffed machine shop, electronic/computer shop and photography lab. Separate machine shop facilities are available for faculty and students use. Major research equipment includes several closed cycle cryogenic stations, two dilution refrigerator stations, one with an 8T superconducting magnet, a 12" Varian microcomputer controlled pulsed NMR spectrometer, a 50 kV ion accelerator, a molecular beam collision chamber, an Nd:YAG laser pumped tunable dye laser system, and two ion laser pumped single frequency ring dye lasers with a high resolution double monochromator. Support for the research projects comes from the National Science Foundation, the State of Connecticut, and Wesleyan University, among other sources.
