REU in the SCIPP Microelectronics Laboratory

这笔拨款将为位于圣克鲁斯粒子物理研究所（SCIPP）和加州大学圣克鲁斯分校物理系的REU站点提供一年的进一步支持。来自全国各地的本科生，大部分来自在物理学领域代表性不足的群体，将被整合到正在进行的研究活动中。学生在高能物理和凝聚态实验室全职工作九周，在教师的直接监督下，与博士后研究人员、学生和工作人员合作。研究项目涵盖了广泛的主题，从半导体探测器和相关的ASIC到聚合物在显示技术中的应用。在每周的会议上，学生们报告他们的发现，并与同龄人讨论。此外，还安排参观附近的研究机构。学生们被作为一个小组安置在校园里，以促进不同背景的学生的互动。

This grant will provide one year's further support of the REU Site located in the Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics (SCIPP) and the Physics Department at UC Santa Cruz. Undergraduates from all over the country largely from groups under-represented in physics will be integrated into on-going research activities. Students work for nine weeks full-time in the High-Energy Physics and Condensed Matter laboratories under the direct supervision of faculty and in collaboration with post-doctoral researchers, students and staff. The research projects cover a wide variety of topics, from work on semiconductor detectors and associated ASIC's to application of polymers in display technology. In weekly sessions, students report on their findings and discuss them with their peers. In addition, visits to nearby research institutions are arranged. The students are housed as a group on campus, to foster interaction of students with different backgrounds.
