In contrast to 8.13 which has you submit written lab reports for each experiment, 8.14 - the subsequent experimental physics class - only has you write a paper for your second experiment. This paper focuses on our investigation of the Meissner effect, which was certainly a deviation from the various radiation-based experiments I'd performed in lab.
For any current 8.14/Physics students, my papers are not uploaded here as a reference. They exist here as a means of cataloguing my previous work, and should not be used as a perfect example of how to conduct these experiments or write a paper.
