Stern-Zartman experiment [′stərn ′zärt·mən ik‚sper·ə·mənt] (statistical mechanics) An experiment in which the distribution in speed of atoms or molecules in a beam emitted from an opening in an oven is measured by having the beam impinge on a rotating cylindrical drum, with a slit cut parallel to the drum axis, and measuring the density of atoms or molecules deposited on the inner surface of the drum, roughly opposite the slit, as a function of distance from a point directly opposite the slit; it is used to test the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution law.
