USRA Summer Work Report

This report includes my work on noise reduction and analysis for the M11 Beamline tests with Dr. Peter Kitching in addition to Light Injection simulations conducted under the supervision of Dr. Scott Oser. This work was done over the summer of 2007 by me, Nikhil Jain, under an NSERC USRA grant. (Open Office Writer Document)
