Research Experiences for Undergraduates at UCLA Plasma Physics Laboratory/HIPAS Observatory

这个项目是为了支持本科生参与物理系正在进行的研究项目。为学生参加者提供宝贵的实践经验。这个项目是在阿拉斯加费尔班克斯极光区的一个不同寻常的天文台和加州大学洛杉矶分校的等离子体物理实验室进行的。这些设施是互补的，既可以探测极光电离层，也可以模拟自然等离子体中的各种非线性过程。本项目由本科生科研经历计划资助，以确保未来有足够的科学家供应。

This project is for the support of undergraduate student participation in ongoing research projects in the Department of Physics. Valuable practical experience will be provided to the student participants. The project is being conducted in an unusual observatory in the auroral zone at Fairbanks, Alaska and at the Plasma Physics Laboratory at UCLA. These facilities are complementary permitting both probing of the auroral ionosphere and simulation of various nonlinear processes in the natural plasma. This project is supported under the Program of Research Experiences for Undergraduates to help ensure an adequate supply of scientists for the future.
