Welcome
The UCLA High School Plasma Physics Lab was conceived of and is maintained by the Los Angeles Physics Teachers Alliance Group (LAPTAG). LAPTAG is a University-Community College-High School alliance between Los Angeles area High Schools, Community Colleges and UCLA's Plasma Physics Department. It is open to all interested high schools and community colleges. On this page you can find the websites and emails for many involved groups and a list of involved people. For more info on the plasma physics lab and the philosophy behind it see our publication entitled "Ion Acoustic Wave Experiments." We are now studying whistler waves in plasmas.
