High School Plasma Lab

Main HSPL-UCLA web page Why join
plasma?
The High School Plasma Lab was open to all students interested in physics. Due to the high demand
on the part of high school students there was a waiting list for those interested. There are no academic requirements for being
in LAPTAG. Please don’t send transcripts or other data. All that is required is a serious desire to do/learn
experimental physics. We were looking for Freshman through Juniors in high school. Students were notified as space was available.
We met most Saturdays from 9:30 am to 2 pm. Tours of the facility can be arranged.
The K12 teachers involved with the UCLA HSPL are Robert Baker (Wildwood School), Ken Marmie
(Theodore Roosevelt Middle School in Glendale, CA) and Joe Wise (Wildwood School).
We are currently looking for new high school teachers interested in becoming part of the High School Plasma Lab at UCLA.
(5/1/2022) Please contact Robert Baker or Joe Wise if you are interested.

Next Meeting
Due to a heavy workload LAPTAG will pause.
Congratulations ! The poster presentation at 58th meeting
APS Division of Plasma Physics at San Jose was well received.
Capture images of electron beam at different magnetic field intensities and with a magnetic mirror in place.
Design a 3D positioner for the B dot and Langmuir probes. Must be able to tolerate 12,000 K,
survive at 10^-4 torr, must be shielded from outside GHz electromagnetic radiation, must use shielded
cable which can bend. Due asap
