Physics Research Experiences for Undergraduates at RochesterP-REU-R

*** auchinclos这项资助将支持全国范围内的本科生参与罗切斯特大学物理与天文系的指导研究项目。该项目旨在使女性和代表性不足的少数民族的参与率达到50%，是对其他学院和院系范围内的倡议的补充，以更充分地让这些群体参与科学。学生可以选择以下实验和理论研究领域：粒子与核物理；量子光学与激光；天体物理学和红外天文学；凝聚态物理；以及生物和医学物理学。所有参与者均可获得现场住宿。中心研究经历发生在2.5个月，每年夏天的全职工作期间，在此期间，每个学生与指导教师密切合作，选择一个研究项目，并继续下去。还提供机械加工和电子学的迷你课程，并组织了一系列参与者会议，包括各种主题的研讨会-例如申请研究生院，物理学中的伦理和政策问题，以及物理学研究的当前主题-以及研究设施之旅（激光能量学实验室，Mees天文台，激光冷却和捕获实验室等）。暑期课程以一个小型研讨会结束，学生们在研讨会上展示他们的研究成果。学生提供他们的研究经验的书面报告，并要求教师顾问对学生的工作进行评论。强烈鼓励每位学生在学年期间继续与他或她的研究顾问一起兼职工作，以完成一篇科学出版物。＊＊＊

*** Auchincloss This grant will support the involvement of undergraduates nationwide to undertake supervised research projects in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Rochester. Aiming at 50% participation by women and underrepresented minorities, the project complements other college-wide and departmental initiatives to more fully engage these groups in science. Students may choose from the following experimental and theoretical research areas: particle and nuclear physics; quantum optics and laser; astrophysics and infrared astronomy; condensed matter physics; and biological and medical physics. On-site housing is available for all participants. The central research experience takes place during a 2.5-month, full-time work period each summer, during which time each student works closely with a faculty advisor to select a research project and pursue it. Mini- courses in machining and electronics are also offered, and a series of participant sessions is organized, including seminars on varied subjects -- such as applying to graduate school, ethical and policy issues in physics, and current topics in physics research -- and tours of research facilities (the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, the Mees Observatory, the Laser Cooling and Trapping Lab, and others). The summer program ends with a mini-symposium at which students present their research results. Students provide written reports of their research experience, and faculty advisors are requested to comment on student work. Each student is strongly encouraged to continue part-time work with his or her research advisory during the academic year, with the aim of completing a scientific publication. ***
