The Louisiana State University J. Bennett Johnston, Sr., Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (LSU CAMD) operates a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site. CAMD is the Southeasts only synchrotron-radiation (SR) center and utilizes a 1.3 GeV second-generation electron synchrotron/storage ring. Each of the ten students selected each year to participate in this REU Site chooses from among several basic research areas based on the utilization of SR: spectroscopy from the far infrared (including spectromicroscopy) to the X-ray region; structure determinations using X ray techniques such as microtomography, protein crystallography, powder diffraction and small-angle-X-ray scattering; microfabrication based on X-ray lithography involving research and development of biosensors and MEMS devices; and accelerator and control-system development and studies. The program runs for ten weeks each summer and includes introduction to general SR production and utilization, education in and practice of appropriate data acquisition and analysis, weekly seminars in which REU students are actively involved, and end-of-summer oral and poster presentations of each students research. The poster presentations are a part of a university-wide undergraduate research symposium involving over 100 students. This REU Site is supported by the ASSURE (Awards to Stimulate and Support Undergraduate Research Experiences) Program of the Department of Defense through a DoD-NSF partnership.

路易斯安那州立大学J.班尼特约翰斯顿，老，先进微结构和器件中心（LSU CAMD）运营着本科生研究经验（REU）网站。CAMD是东南部唯一的同步辐射（SR）中心，并利用1.3 GeV的第二代电子同步加速器/存储环。 每年选出的十名学生中的每一个都参加了这个REU网站，他们根据SR的利用从几个基础研究领域中进行选择：远红外光谱学（包括光谱显微术）到X射线区域;使用X射线技术如显微断层摄影术、蛋白质晶体学、粉末衍射和小角度X射线散射进行结构测定;基于X射线光刻的微细加工，涉及生物传感器和MEMS器件的研究和开发;以及加速器和控制系统的开发和研究。 该计划每年夏天为期十周，包括介绍一般SR生产和利用，教育和实践适当的数据采集和分析，每周研讨会，其中REU学生积极参与，并在夏季结束时口头和海报介绍每个学生的研究。 海报展示是一个大学范围内的本科生研究研讨会的一部分，涉及100多名学生。 该REU网站由国防部通过DoD-NSF合作伙伴关系的ASSURE（激励和支持本科生研究经验奖）计划提供支持。
