Rtner2} \affiliation{Physics 251 College of William and Mary} \date{today} \begin{abstract} This lab demonstrates Compton scattering. A Na$^{22}$ $\gamma$-ray source is used. The decay $\gamma$-ray has an energy of approximately .66 MeV. \end{abstract} \maketitle \section{Introduction} \subsection{Overview ...} Start writing here .. g %++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ How to cite a reference: In 1989, experiments at CERN \cite{EMC} reported ... %++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ How to make a nice equation: \begin{equation} \label{equ:aperp} A_{\perp} = \frac{\sigma^{\downarrow\leftarrow} - \sigma^{\uparrow\leftarrow}} {\sigma^{\downarrow\leftarrow} + \sigma^{\uparrow\leftarrow}} = f_kE^{\prime}\sin\theta\left(g_1(x,Q^2) + \frac{2E}{\nu}g_2(x,Q^2)\right), \end{equation} %++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ How to include a figure into the document: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Figure - Helicity %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{figure}[hbt] \begin{center} \epsfysize=2.5in \epsfxsize=1.5in \rotatebox{70}{\leavevmode\epsffile{mypicture.eps}} \end{center} \caption{Every figure MUST have a caption} \label{fig:helicity} \end{figure} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% End Figure %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ An easier way to include a figure in a document: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Figure - Helicity %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{figure}[hbt] \begin{center} \epsfig{file=mypicture.eps, width=3in, angle=270} \end{center} \caption{Did you hear that every figure needs a caption?} \label{fig:helicity1} \end{figure} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% End Figure %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Theory} \section{Experiment} %++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ How to make a nice table.
