REU Site Proposal: Support of a Site REU Program at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics

密歇根大学物理系将在瑞士日内瓦的欧洲核子研究中心（CERN）管理一个本科生研究经验项目。该实验室是万维网和领先的高能物理中心的所在地，被许多人视为世界上首屈一指的国际科学实验室。大约9名学生将在全国范围内通过竞争招募参加该项目。在前往日内瓦之前，他们将在密歇根大学度过一个迎新周。在那一周，他们将学习计算机课程，并听取有关欧洲核子研究中心、高能物理和研究伦理的讲座。在欧洲核子研究中心期间，他们每天都要听物理学、宇宙学和计算机等领域专家的讲座。每天，他们还与指定的导师一起研究当前的物理问题。CERN有一名现场协调员，协助学生处理与项目或个人需求有关的任何事宜。每个学生必须就他们的成就做最后的报告，并参加项目评估。

The Department of Physics of the University of Michigan will administer a Research Experience for Undergraduates program at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. This Laboratory is home of the world wide web and a leading high energy physics center, viewed by many as the world's premier international scientific laboratory. Approximately nine students will be competitively recruited nationally to participate in the program. They will spend an orientation week at the University of Michigan prior to their journey to Geneva. During that week they will take computing courses, and hear lectures on CERN, high energy physics and research ethics. During their period at CERN they attend daily lectures given by experts in areas such as physics, cosmology and computing. Each day they also work with assigned mentors on current physics problems. An onsite Coordinator is present at CERN to assist the students with any matters related to program or personal needs. Each student must give a final talk on their accomplishments and participate in the program evaluation.
