REU Site: Research Experiences in Physics for Women and Minorities at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校（UWM）的物理系将为本科物理专业建立一个新的REU网站程序。每年将招收10名学生，8名来自外部机构，2名来自UWM内部。将优先考虑妇女和少数民族。 教育部内一名具有少数民族教育直接经验的全职教育工作者将负责方案前的宣传和征聘，以及方案的日常运作和管理。申请人将从广泛的实验和理论项目中进行选择，包括：光谱学和激光物理学; LEED;红外光谱学;分子束外延和真空沉积; X射线散射和其他X射线光谱技术; UV和X射线光电子发射：电子显微镜;高温超导体中的声传播;从电子和X射线探针中提取材料几何和电子结构的计算技术;以及对激光干涉仪引力波天文台（LIGO）数据的分析。 为期10周的课程将于6月初开始。 除了正式的研究活动，该计划将包括每天（工作日）一小时的浓缩课程，其中REU学生将通过核心物理在适当的水平。 每周还将举行一次座谈会。物理系打算为REU学生提供一个智力丰富的氛围，该部门特别有兴趣吸引更多的妇女和少数民族学生到UWM研究生课程。

The Physics Department at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) will establish a new REU site program for undergraduate physics majors. Ten students will be recruited each year, eight from outside institutions and two from within UWM. Priority will be given to women and minorities. A full-time educator within the Department, who has direct experience of minority education, will be in charge of pre-program publicity and recruitment, and, later, the day to day running and administration of the program. Applicants will choose from a broad selection of experimental and theoretical projects including: optical spectroscopy and laser physics; LEED; infrared spectroscopy; molecular beam epitaxy and vacuum deposition; X-ray scattering and other X-ray spectroscopic techniques; UV and X-ray photoemission: electron microscopy; acoustic propagation in high Tc superconductors; computational techniques for the extraction of the geometrical and electronic structure of materials from electron and X-ray probes; and the analysis of data from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO). The 10 week program will start in early June. As well as the formal research activities, the program will include daily (weekdays) one-hour enrichment classes, in which the REU students will be taken through core physics at an appropriate level. There will also be a weekly colloquium. The Physics Department intends to provide an intellectually enriching atmosphere for REU students, and the Department is especially interested in attracting more women and minority students to the UWM graduate program.
