How Scoville You Go?
William M. Davis, Mary Jane E. O'Rourke
Tue Jan 29, Thu Jan 31, 07-08:00pm, TBD
Enrollment limited: first come, first served
Signup by: 15-Dec-2001
Limited to 20 participants.
The Scoville unit is the measurement of hotness of a chile pepper. Anyone who has made chili will know the wide and wild varieties of chiles and other ingredients that can be used in the dish. The chemistry of common ingredients will be discussed as well as indigenous varieties of the main course. Participants will be required to build a chili that will be part a tasting the last day of the activity.

One day of simulations may save a whole week of lab work. Day 1: Mathematical treatment of short laser pulses and linear propagation through different optical elements. Day 2: Nonlinear propagation effects and frequency conversion processes. Day 3: A short introduction to LabView and the concept of the virtual femtosecond laser lab. Day 4: 1001 simulations of easy and complex experiments.
