Summer Undergraduate Research Program in Physics at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility

印第安纳州大学回旋加速器设施物理学夏季本科研究项目的主要目标是为有前途的物理学本科专业学生提供有意义、令人兴奋且具有挑战性的科学研究体验。 我们建议每年赞助至少12名学生参加IUCF和核理论中心为期10周的夏季学期的实验和理论研究项目。 我们将从美国各地的大学和机构招募优秀学生，优先考虑中西部的机构以及本科生研究机会有限的小型机构。 预计90%的学生将来自布卢明顿的印第安纳州大学以外的机构，至少25%的学生将是妇女。 参与者将通过在教师和高级科学工作人员的监督下从事核物理，加速器物理和医学物理项目来获得直接的研究经验。 将为学生安排特别课程，包括迎新会、每周一次的物理学研究研讨会、机械车间和科学计算机编程迷你课程。 在夏季学期结束时，学生将提交基于他们的工作的研究论文，并将在闭幕研讨会上展示他们的成果。

The principal goal of the Summer Undergraduate Research Program in Physics at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility is to provide promising undergraduate physics majors with a meaningful, exciting and challenging experience in scientific research. We propose to sponsor the participation of at least 12 students per year in experimental and theoretical research projects at IUCF and the Nuclear Theory Center for 10-week summer terms. We will recruit excellent students from colleges and institutions throughout the U.S.,with preference to institutions within the Midwest as well as small institutions where research opportunities for undergraduates may be limited. It is expected that 90% of the students will come from institutions other than Indiana University at Bloomington, and that at least 25% of the students will be women. The participants will gain direct research experience by working on projects in nuclear physics, accelerator physics, and medical physics under the supervision of faculty members and senior scientific staff. Special programs for the students will be arranged, including orientation sessions, weekly seminars on current research in physics, and machine shop and scientific computer programming mini-courses. At the end of the summer term, the students will submit research papers based on their work, and will present their results in seminars at a closing symposium.
