REU Site: Physics at the University of Minnesota

明尼苏达大学物理和天文学院的本科生研究体验计划为本科生提供了参与物理学前沿知识研究的机会。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、核物理、粒子物理、物理教育或空间和行星物理的研究领域。这些努力既有理论上的，也有实验上的，但通常来说，本科生最容易接触到的是实验研究。在为期10周的项目中，学生与教师、博士后和研究生密切合作，进行持续的研究项目。除了个人化的研究体验，REU的学生还举办研讨会，与物理教师讨论当前物理研究的其他方向，在研讨会上分享他们的工作，学习对研究有用的实用技能，了解继续学习物理的机会和挑战，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.
