When we measure the transmission of the probe beam with a photodiode, we get our negative Gaussian absorption curve,\textit{ but we also get a small Lorentzian peak at the rest frequency of the transition} because the probe beam is not being absorbed by the atoms at that frequency, since the pump beam has already excited all of the atoms in the zero velocity class. The Lorentzian peak can actually appear as multiple small Lorentzians, due to hyperfine structure. With the transitions we measure, we expect to see three hyperfine peaks. However, due to crossovers, we actually see six. Crossover peaks appear midway between each of the energy levels in the atom and can be even stronger than the peaks due to hyperfine structure \textbf{(Melissinos 244-245). }  \subsection{ARGH! Please Please Please Please Please actually insert a live citation here. It is NOT hard to do, and learning how to do so is an expectation for the course.} You already have been shown several examples of how to do it. Here is \href{https://www.authorea.com/users/9932/articles/12628/_show_article}{ANOTHER tutorial}    Here is \href{https://www.authorea.com/users/9932/articles/12628/_show_article}{ANOTHER tutorial} In your case, you need to insert  \begin{verbatim}  @book{Melissinos_2003,  author = {Melissinos, Adrian C. and Napolitano, Jim},  isbn = {0124898513},  publisher = {San Diego : Academic Press, c2003.},  title = {{Experiments in modern physics.}},  url = {http://libproxy.smith.edu:2048/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=cat00321a&AN=fivecol.000716202&site=eds-live},  year = {2003},  }  \end{verbatim}  into the References section, then  Once you've created the Melissinos reference, you could say (see \cite{Melissinos} \cite{Melissinos_2003}  pp. 244-245).
