    \item 111B GMA Experiment Video \href{http://youtu.be/cZGMngx-6yE}{\textbf{Gamma Ray Video}}. The equipment for this lab has changed over the years making the last part of the video inconsistent with the procedure on this lab but it is nonetheless useful for understanding how the set-up works. Note: In order to view the private Youtube videos hosted by the university, you must be signed into your berkeley.edu Google account.

\prelab

\begin{enumerate}
    \item What are gamma rays? How are the gamma rays produced that are used in this experiment?
    \item What is a pulse height spectrum? What are the axes?
    \item By what means does the sodium iodide detector detect photons? 
    \item What is a ``photopeak''? What role do photopeaks play in this experiment?
    \item What is Compton scattering? Do we observe Compton scattering in this experiment? What are other possible peaks that you might see?
    \item What is a reference source? How do we use it to calibrate our pulse height spectrum?
    \item What are possible sources of nonlinearity from our equipment?
    %add an item about counting statistics/error bars on bin heights?

\midlab

\begin{enumerate}
    \item On day 4 of this lab, you should have successfully produced a plot of the energy spectrum from each source, properly calibrated in keV or MeV. Show them to an instructor and ask for a signature.
