RUI: Multifaceted Opportunities in Nuclear Physics for Undergraduates at Hope College

美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation）向希望学院核小组（在Paul DeYoung博士和Graham Peaslee博士的指导下）颁发了本科研究（RUI）补助金，以支持未来三年的各种本科研究项目。 这些活动将集中在密歇根州立大学的国家超导回旋加速器实验室（NSCL）和圣母大学（ND）的核结构实验室的放射性核束（RNB）研究。 NSCL的实验将包括使用MoNA设施的一些新调查。 这些研究将增加我们对远离稳定核的构造方式以及与其他物质相互作用的理解。 为了让希望学院的本科生为研究生工作或其他科学职业做好准备，他们将参与工作的各个方面：实验设置，数据采集，分析和建模以及结果展示。 本科生还将参与基于新的希望学院离子束分析实验室（HIBAL）的跨学科研究。 这些项目将研究核物理技术在其他科学学科问题中的应用。 我们的结果和我们合作者的结果将在标准期刊上发布

A Research in Undergraduate Instituions (RUI) grant has been awarded to the Hope College Nuclear Group (under the direction of Dr. Paul DeYoung and Dr. Graham Peaslee) by the National Science Foundation to support a variety of undergraduate research projects for the next three years. The activities will center on radioactive nuclear beam (RNB) studies at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University and the Nuclear Structure Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame (ND). Experiments at the NSCL will include a number of new investigations using the MoNA facility. These studies will increase our understanding of the way nuclei far from stability are constructed and interact with other matter. To prepare Hope College undergraduate students for graduate work or other scientific careers, they will be involved in every aspect of the work: experimental setup, data acquisition, analysis and modeling, and presentation of results. Undergraduates will also be involved in interdisciplinary studies based upon the new Hope College Ion Beam Analysis Laboratory (HIBAL). These projects will investigate applications of nuclear physics techniques to questions in other scientific disciplines. Our results and the results of our collaborators will be disseminated in standard journals
