项目摘要

Awarded funds will be used to upgrade the Western Michigan University tandem Van de Graaff Accelerator Laboratory. This laboratory plays a key role in helping the Department of Physics to meet its various research and educational goals. While the accelerator is functional and heavily used certain components of it and the laboratory have become obsolete. Acquisition and implementation of the equipment provided by this grant will greatly enhance the operation and capabilities of the laboratory, and this upgrading will provide new opportunities for faculty researchers and better state-of-the art training for students. Currently, Department of Physics faculty utilize the accelerator for a broad spectrum of research activities including atomic physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, and physics applications. The accelerator facility has been and continues to be an important component in faculty research that has received external support. Accelerator research has resulted in numerous publications in leading physics journals and has formed the basis for numerous graduate and undergraduate student research projects. The training of future scientists is a particularly important function of the laboratory. In this regard, students are provided a unique hands-on experience with major research instrumentation in close collaboration with faculty mentors. Such an experience is not often available to most physics students, especially those at the undergraduate level or those in high school. Additionally, researchers from other institutions, nationally and internationally, have frequently come to WMU to collaborate with department faculty on projects utilizing the laboratory. During recent years, the laboratory has formed the basis for several Ph.D. dissertation projects, M.A. thesis projects, Honors College thesis projects for undergraduate physics majors, and the senior mentorship projects for several high school students from the Kalamazoo Area Mathematics and Science Center. Apart from these research and research training uses, the laboratory has been used every semester for more than 25 years as part of the department's undergraduate modern physics laboratory that is generally taken by sophomore level students, and as part of an advanced laboratory course taken by upper level undergraduate physics majors and by graduate students. Additionally, students from area high schools and colleges visit the laboratory regularly to make use of the accelerator as part of their physics curricula. During its history, the accelerator has served as an instructional tool to literally thousands of university and high school students. It is anticipated that, in addition to continuing and expanding the research and educational uses of the accelerator, the upgraded facility will help in the recruitment of students to the university and help to attract additional outside collaborators. Through its diversity of uses and applications the WMU accelerator laboratory closely integrates research with education, and provides important outreach activities, in a manner that is rarely encountered at most universities. The upgraded facility will help to enhance the learning environment by providing greater access to state-of-the-art instrumentation.
获奖资金将用于升级西密歇根大学串联范德格拉夫加速器实验室。这个实验室在帮助物理系实现其各种研究和教育目标方面发挥着关键作用。虽然加速器功能正常,并经常使用,但它和实验室的某些部件已经过时。这笔赠款提供的设备的采购和实施将极大地增强实验室的运营和能力,这次升级将为教师研究人员提供新的机会,并为学生提供更好的最先进的培训。目前,物理系教员将加速器用于广泛的研究活动,包括原子物理、核物理、凝聚态物理和物理应用。加速器设施一直是并将继续是得到外部支持的教师研究的重要组成部分。加速器研究已经在领先的物理期刊上发表了大量文章,并形成了许多研究生和本科生研究项目的基础。培养未来的科学家是实验室的一项特别重要的职能。在这方面,与教师导师密切合作,为学生提供独特的动手体验,使用主要的研究工具。大多数物理专业的学生,尤其是本科生或高中生,并不经常有这样的经历。此外,来自国内和国际其他机构的研究人员经常来到西门子大学,与系教职员工合作开展利用该实验室的项目。近年来,该实验室已经成为几个博士论文项目、硕士论文项目、本科生物理专业荣誉学院论文项目以及卡拉马祖地区数学和科学中心几名高中生的高级导师项目的基础。除了这些研究和研究培训用途外,超过25年来,该实验室每学期都被用作系的本科现代物理实验室的一部分,该实验室通常由大二学生参加,也作为高级实验室课程的一部分,由物理专业的高年级学生和研究生学习。此外,来自地区高中和大学的学生定期访问实验室,将加速器作为他们物理课程的一部分。在它的历史上,加速器一直是成千上万的大学生和高中生的教学工具。预计,除了继续和扩大加速器的研究和教育用途外,升级后的设施将有助于该大学招收学生,并有助于吸引更多的外部合作者。通过其多样化的用途和应用,WMU加速器实验室将研究与教育紧密结合,并以大多数大学罕见的方式提供重要的外展活动。升级后的设施将提供更多机会使用最先进的仪器,从而有助于改善学习环境。
