Introduction to Dark Matter Experiments
by R. W. Schnee - arXiv.org , 2011
This is a set of lectures presented at the Theoretical Advanced Study Institute 2009. I provide an introduction to experiments designed to detect WIMP dark matter directly, focusing on building intuitive understanding of the potential WIMP signals.

Bayesian Field Theory
by J. C. Lemm - arXiv.org , 2000
A particular Bayesian field theory is defined by combining a likelihood model, providing a probabilistic description of the measurement process, and a prior model, providing the information necessary to generalize from training to non-training data.

Laboratory projects in physics: a manual of practical experiments for beginners
by Frederick Foreman Good - The Macmillan Company , 1921
These experiments should form part of a physics course which includes class discussions and demonstrations. They were used for several years in a beginners' course in practical physics. The materials and procedure have been worked out in detail.
