The poster features six text boxes, three figures, and two tables. Beginning with the abstract at the top left corner of the poster, the reader follows along in columns, from left to right, through the abstract, methodology, results, physics background, conclusions, and acknowledgements sections. The results section is portrayed by two tables, one with the physical properties of two copper coils used in the experiment, and the other with the actual quantitative results of the experiment, along with a graphical representation of the data. Following perusal of the poster content, the reader will understand the goal of the experiment, which is to derive the magnetic field to polarize a Helium-3 target for electron neutron scattering to measure the electromagnetic form factor ratio of the neutron and the double spin asymmetry for negatively-charged pion photoproduction, along with the processes used to obtain the results and the next steps to be taken.
