Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Physics and Astronomy

物理学本科生的斯托尼布鲁克研究经验项目每年夏天将13至17名本科生带到斯托尼布鲁克校园，参加为期八周的斯托尼布鲁克物理和天文学教师实验室前沿研究项目。该奖学金为其中12名学生提供资助，其余学生由其他基金资助。该计划的直接目的是提供培训，鼓励兴趣和欣赏，在物理学科学研究和促进职业规划的实际做研究在大学环境中，通过现场访问研究实验室在斯托尼布鲁克和布鲁克海文国家实验室，通过每周研讨会在物理学和天文学的当前主题，最后，在正式的研讨会上介绍学生的研究成果，并在项目结束时提交书面报告。优秀的项目将提交给其他学生研究研讨会。该计划的更广泛的目标包括增加合格的科学研究人员的库，并促进对那些继续奋进其他领域的研究方法的欣赏和理解。 该计划提供天文学和行星科学，大气物理学，高能粒子物理学，教学实验室仪器，激光和光学，核物理学和固态/凝聚态物理学领域的研究机会。大多数项目是实验性的，但也有一些是理论性的。招生工作集中在高学术地位的大二和大三物理专业学生，许多来自研究机会有限的大学。特别努力吸引代表性不足的少数民族的妇女和学生。

The Stony Brook Research Experience for Undergraduates in Physics program brings 13 to 17 undergraduate students to the Stony Brook campus each summer for participation in an eight-week program of forefront research in the laboratories of Stony Brook physics and astronomy faculty members. This award provides support for 12 of these students; the rest are supported from other funds. The immediate aim of this program is to provide training in, encourage interest in, and appreciation of, scientific research in physics and to facilitate career planning by the actual doing of research in a collegial setting, by site visits to research laboratories at Stony Brook and Brookhaven National Laboratory, by weekly seminars on current topics in physics and astronomy, and finally by presentations of student research results in a formal symposium and a written report at the conclusion of the program. Outstanding projects are submitted for presentation at other student research symposia. The broader aims of the program include increasing the pool of qualified scientific researchers, and to foster appreciation and understanding of research methods to those who go on to other fields of endeavor. The program offers research opportunities in the areas of astronomy and planetary sciences, atmospheric physics, high-energy particle physics, instructional laboratory instrumentation, lasers and optics, nuclear physics and solid-state/condensed matter physics. Most projects are experimental but a few are theoretical. Recruiting efforts concentrate on sophomore and junior-level physics majors of high academic standing, many from colleges in which research opportunities are limited. Particular efforts are made to attract women and students fromunder-represented minorities.
