REU Site: Physics at the University of Minnesota

明尼苏达大学物理与天文学院的本科生研究经验项目为本科生提供了参与物理学知识前沿研究的机会。 参与的学生选择生物物理学，宇宙学/天体物理学，凝聚态物理学，核物理学，粒子物理学，物理教育或空间和行星物理学的研究领域。 这些努力都是理论和实验，但通常是实验研究，是最容易接近本科生。 在为期10周的课程中，学生将与教师，博士后和研究生密切合作，进行正在进行的研究计划。 除了个性化的研究经验，REU的学生有研讨会，讨论其他当前的物理研究方向与物理教师，分享自己的工作在研讨会上，学习实用的研究技能，了解进一步研究物理的机会和挑战，并参观研究实验室。

The School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Minnesota Research Experiences for Undergraduates Program gives undergraduates the opportunity to participate in research at the forefront of knowledge of Physics. Participating students choose a research area in biophysics, cosmology/ astrophysics, condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, particle physics, physics education, or space and planetary physics. These efforts are both theoretical and experimental but typically it is experimental research that is most accessible to undergraduates. For the 10 weeks of the program, students work closely with faculty, postdocs, and graduate students in an ongoing research program. In addition to the individualized research experience, the REU students have seminars to discuss other current directions in physics research with physics faculty, share their own work in seminars, learn practical skills useful in research, learn about the opportunities and challenges of further study in physics, and visit research laboratories.
