IRES: International: Research Experience for Undergraduates and Pre-Thesis Graduate Students at MAMI in Germany

这个IRES项目将为乔治华盛顿大学的美国学生提供机会，通过在德国美因茨的Mainz Microtron Mami停留10周来获得实验核物理方面的国际研究经验。该项目将在三年内每年资助三名本科生和一名研究生的研究。此外，它还将为学生在美因茨期间留在美因茨的PI提供一些支持。智力价值研究人员将对核子内部结构及其激发的动力学进行实验研究。他们的主要目标是研究中性介子的光产生，他们将利用水晶球和MAMI的TAPS合作来做到这一点。MAMI将实施高质量的光子诱导反应计划，这将加强目前对重子和介子的夸克结构的研究。Broader Impacts为12名美国学生提供支持，让他们在德国美因茨的Mami进行研究，从而为一批美国学生提供国际研究经验，使他们能够在全球环境中成功运作。他们的访问所建立的联系将支持持久的国际合作。在指导女学生方面，PI表现出了成功和奉献精神，这是一个在实验核物理中代表性不足的群体，他致力于让女学生参与这个项目的研究。

This IRES project will provide U.S. students from George Washington University with the opportunity to gain international research experience in experimental nuclear physics by spending 10 weeks at the Mainz Microtron MAMI in Mainz, Germany. This project will fund the research of three undergraduate students and one graduate student per year for three years. In addition, it will provide some support for the PI to stay in residence in Mainz while the students are there. Intellectual MeritThe researchers will perform an experimental study of the dynamics responsible for the internal structure of the nucleon and its excitations. Their main objective is to study neutral meson photoproduction, and they will make use of the Crystal Ball and TAPS collaborations at MAMI to do this. The high-quality program of photon-induced reactions that will be carried out a MAMI will enhance current studies of the quark structure of baryons and mesons.Broader ImpactsSupport is provided for 12 U.S. students to conduct research at MAMI in Mainz, Germany, thus providing a group of U.S. students with international research experiences that will prepare them to operate successfully in a global environment. The linkages created by their visits will support lasting international collaboration. The PI has shown success and dedication in mentoring women students, a group under-represented in experimental nuclear physics, and he is committed to involving women students in the research in this project.
