REU Site: Undergraduate Research in Nuclear Physics at TUNL/Duke University

该奖项将维持三角大学核实验室（TUNL）作为本科生研究经验（REU）站点。来自北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校、北卡罗莱纳州立大学和杜克大学的研究人员在TUNL进行了低能核物理学的多种研究项目。这个REU暑期项目通过完成一个独立的10周项目，为本科生提供了一个现实和积极的研究经验。学生与来自三大研究机构的教师、博士后和博士前研究人员合作，并接触这些机构的研究生课程。通过积极的研究、研讨会、实验室参观和讨论小组，学生们接触到核物理研究的各个方面及其对其他研究领域的影响。学生录取程序主要针对来自全国各地小型学院和大学的学生，他们参与积极研究项目的机会有限。

This award will maintain the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL) as a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site. A diverse research program in low-energy nuclear physics is conducted at TUNL by researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University, and Duke University where the laboratory is located. This REU summer program provides undergraduate students with a realistic and active research experience through the completion of a self-contained 10-week project. The students collaborate with faculty, postdoctoral and pre-doctoral research staff from the three major research institutions, and are exposed to the graduate programs at these institutions. Through active research, seminars, lab tours, and discussion groups, the students are exposed to various aspects of nuclear physics research and its impact on other areas of research. The student acceptance process mainly targets students from small colleges and universities across the country who have limited opportunities to be involved in active research programs.
