I am largely disconnected from lab test design and implementation, and I am not up-to-speed on the technological capabilities of current instrumentation. What would be my best course of action if there were a couple of ideas I wanted to explore (in terms of feasibility)?
Rhoderick,
I'd find a friendly experimentalist in the chosen field and ply them with coffee - and cake.
You're already (seemingly) in a phys.astro. department, so surely there would be a dozen hungry postdocs that you could swap ideas with?
Failing that, ask here. What's the project area?
Hi James,
Thanks for your input. I'm not on campus and despite appearances I have no current official affiliation with my alma mater. I'm half-inclined to wander around the Physics lab until I can corner someone, but it seems awkward...I was hoping there was a more formal way.
Cheers,
*EDIT* I did not see the last line in your response. I have two tests in mind, one is to look for a rotation imparted on a linear polarizer as light passes through it and the other is basically a Pound-Rebka experiment with slightly altered conditions.
