Physics Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site at Brigham Young University

杨百翰大学建议继续他们成功的REU网站。 根据我们过去的经验和地理位置，我们预计这个网站对女性、少数族裔学生以及山间西部两年制和四年制大学的学生特别有吸引力。 参与的学生将参加为期十周的夏季物理研究计划，包括计算和实验等离子体物理学，光学，实验和计算浓缩物质物理学，X射线和XUV源和光学，观测天文学，声学，微加工技术，太阳能或应用于考古学的先进物理方法。 学生将接受实验和计算技术的指导，参加正在进行的研究项目，并在这里和区域专业会议上提出他们的研究活动的口头和书面报告。 通过与教师导师的密切接触（在课程期间和之后），他们将品尝物理研究的兴奋，并接受职业道德和标准的培训。

Brigham Young University proposes a continuation of their successful REU site. Based on our past experience and geographical location we expect this site to be particularly attractive to women, minority students, and students from two-year and four-year colleges in the Intermountain West. Participating students will participate in a ten week summer physics research program in computational and experimental plasma phyhsics, optics, experimental and computational concensed matter physics, x-ray and XUV sources and optics, observational astronomy, acoustics, microfabrication technology, solar power, or advanced physical methods applied to archeology. The students will receive instruction in experimental and computational techniques, participate in an ongoing research project, and present oral and written reports of their research activities here and at regional professional meetings. Through close contact with a faculty mentor (both during and after the program), they will taste the excitement of physics research and receive training in professional ethics and standards.
