This award supports the renewal of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program coordinated by the University of Michigan offering research experiences at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN). When the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is completed at CERN, it will represent the frontier for experimental high energy physics for several decades to come. Students and teachers working on LHC focused problems at CERN experience an intellectual apprenticeship and learn to understand the nature of international scientific collaboration and the questions and methods of modern physics. The two parts of the program are (1) the historical UM-CERN physics program involving 15 students in research at CERN with CERN based mentors and (2) a high school teachers program involving five teachers participating in the three week CERN High School Teacher program augmented by a three-week period of research participation in the LHC experiments. The students will spend 8-9 weeks at CERN participating in research projects, attending a physics lecture series and interacting with European scientists and science students. The program orientation contains components designed to help them learn how to live in Geneva, instruction in computing, seminars on physics and ethics along with tours of the CERN experiments. The students will gather frequently to give talks about their research activities, learning about the protocols and techniques of physics presentations. Each day they also work with assigned mentors on current physics problems. An onsite Coordinator is present at CERN to assist the students with any matters related to program or personal needs. Each student must give a final talk on their accomplishments and participate in the program evaluation. The teachers will participate in the CERN HST program http://teachers.web.cern.ch/teachers/ and will have the opportunity to work with LHC research groups. This award is co-funded by the Division of Physics and by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate.

该奖项支持更新由密歇根大学协调的本科生研究经验(REU)计划，提供在欧洲粒子物理实验室(CERN)的研究经验。当大型强子对撞机(LHC)在欧洲核子研究中心(CERN)建成后，它将代表着未来几十年实验高能物理的前沿。在欧洲核子研究中心从事大型强子对撞机重点问题研究的学生和教师经历了智力上的学徒生涯，并学习理解国际科学合作的本质以及现代物理学的问题和方法。该计划的两个部分是(1)历史上的UM-CERN物理计划，有15名学生在CERN基于CERN的导师的指导下进行研究；(2)高中教师计划，有5名教师参加了为期三周的CERN高中教师计划，并增加了为期三周的大型强子对撞机实验的研究参与。这些学生将在欧洲核子研究中心度过8-9周的时间，参与研究项目，参加物理系列讲座，并与欧洲科学家和理科学生互动。该项目包括旨在帮助他们学习如何在日内瓦生活的内容，计算机教学，物理和伦理研讨会，以及欧洲核子研究中心的实验之旅。学生们将经常聚集在一起，就他们的研究活动进行演讲，学习物理演示的规程和技术。每天，他们还与指定的导师一起解决当前的物理问题。CERN有一名现场协调员，协助学生处理与项目或个人需求有关的任何事务。每个学生都必须对自己的成就做一次最后的演讲，并参与项目评估。教师们将参加欧洲核子研究中心的HST项目http://teachers.web.cern.ch/teachers/，并将有机会与大型强子对撞机研究小组合作。该奖项由物理司和数学和物理科学局多学科活动办公室共同资助。
