REU SITE: Research Experiences for Undergraduates at the University of Virginia

出色的研究设施，敬业的教学和研究人员，以及州政府对高等教育的承诺，使夏洛茨维尔的弗吉尼亚大学成为REU选址的理想地点。该项目将继续招收16名本科生，其中大约一半来自弗吉尼亚大学，另一半来自其他院校。项目涵盖了广泛的实验研究，包括核和高能物理、原子、分子、凝聚态物质和生物物理，为具有广泛兴趣的学生提供了机会。学生将特别学习轻原子核的结构，电子和质子从原子核的散射，磁谱仪的动量分析，闪烁体和表面势垒粒子探测器，加速器的气体处理系统，数字和模拟电子，计算机硬件和软件，超低温，绝热退磁，超高真空技术，气体在石墨上的吸附研究，分子和原子与外场相互作用的激光光谱分析技术，大分子的x射线衍射，深层脑肿瘤的热疗研究，血红素蛋白的光学吸收研究和引力现象。学生将在夏季参加为期十周的课程，弗吉尼亚大学的学生将在整个学年继续学习。

The excellent research facilities, the dedicated teaching and research faculty, and research staff and the commitment to higher education by the State establishes the University of Virginia in Charlottesville as an ideal setting for an REU Site. This program will continue with 16 undergraduate students with approximately half from U Va and the other half from other institutions. Projects cover a broad range of experimental research including nuclear and high energy physics, atomic, molecular, condensed matter and biological physics providing an opportunity for students with a wide range of interests. In particular, students will learn about the structure of light nuclei, electron and proton scattering from nuclei, momentum analysis with magnetic spectrometers, scintillator and surface barrier particle detectors, gas handling systems for accelerators, digital and analog electronics, computer hardware and software, ultra-low temperature, adiabatic demagnetization, ultra high- vacuum techniques, studies of gas adsorption on graphite, laser spectroscopy techniques for the study of molecules and atoms interacting with external fields, x-ray diffraction from macromolecules, hyperthermia studies of deep seated brain tumors, optical absorption studies of hemeproteins and gravitational phenomena. Students will participate over a ten week period in the summer and U Va students will continue throughout the academic year.
