The University of Notre Dame physics department NSF-REU program provides an opportunity for at least 12 undergraduate physics majors/year to discover the excitement of physics research. Additional students (typically 3-4 per year), beyond those funded by the NSF, will be supported, as has been the case in the past, by the physics department and by various research grants. The program lasts for 10 weeks during Summer (typically starting on the day after Memorial Day) and consists of participation in a research project, weekly research seminars, development of a research logbook, a research paper, contact with various research groups, and social gatherings with other members of the department. The areas available for research projects are: nuclear physics (nuclear structure and lifetimes, nucleosynsthesis, heavy-ion reactions, nuclear astrophysics), atomic physics (theory, laser cooling, atomic lifetimes), astrophysics (g-ray and neutrino astrophysics, physics of comets, irregular satellites, chemistry of young stellar systems), high energy physics (theory, development of scintillating-fiber detectors, physics at BaBar, Tevatron and LHC), and solid state physics and microelectronics (crystal growth, scanning tunneling microscope development, low temperature superconductivity, theory, EXAFS physics). All students are involved with active and ongoing research efforts and are encouraged to become contributing members in the everyday problem-solving events. The REU students are also provided an opportunity to become acquainted with other areas of research within the department.

圣母大学物理系NSF-REU计划为每年至少12名本科物理专业的学生提供了一个发现物理研究兴奋点的机会。额外的学生（通常每年3-4名），除了由NSF资助的学生外，将像过去一样，由物理系和各种研究赠款提供支持。该计划在夏季持续10周（通常从阵亡将士纪念日后的第二天开始），包括参与研究项目，每周研究研讨会，研究日志的开发，研究论文，与各种研究小组的联系，以及与部门其他成员的社交聚会。可供研究项目的领域有：核物理（核结构和寿命、核合成、重离子反应、核天体物理学）、原子物理学（理论，激光冷却，原子寿命），天体物理学（g射线和中微子天体物理学，彗星物理学，不规则卫星，年轻恒星系统化学），高能物理学（理论、光纤探测器的发展、BaBar、Tevatron和LHC的物理学）、固态物理学和微电子学（晶体生长、扫描隧道显微镜的发展、低温超导、理论、EXAFS物理学）。所有学生都参与积极和持续的研究工作，并鼓励成为日常解决问题活动的贡献成员。REU的学生也有机会熟悉部门内的其他研究领域。
