This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This IRES award provides students associated with George Washington University, Montgomery College in Maryland, and the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth with the opportunity to participate in an international collaboration in experimental nuclear physics through spending 8 weeks at the Mainzer Mikrotron (MAMI) at the Johannes Gutenberg Universität in Mainz, Germany and/or the MAX-lab research facility at the Lund University in Lund, Sweden. This project provides support for 4 to 6 undergraduate students and up to 2 beginning graduate students each year for three years. The PI, co-PIs, and Senior Investigators will reside in Lund and Mainz while the U.S. students are present to supervise, mentor, and to monitor their progress.The student researchers are involved with all aspects of the experiments being performed at the two laboratories. These experiments are designed to investigate the dynamics responsible for the internal structure of the nucleon and its excitations through the study of meson photoproduction off the proton and neutron. The high-quality research program being carried out at both MAMI and MAX-lab will enhance the current studies of the quark structure of baryons and mesons. These measurements make use of the Crystal Ball and TAPS detectors at MAMI, and the xSAL, CATS, DIANA, and BUNI detectors at MAX-lab. These experiments are being performed by the A2 Collaboration at MAMI andthe PIONS@MAXLAB Collaboration at MAX-lab. The members of these international collaborations have volunteered to contribute to the training and mentoring of our students.This program provides a group of students with international research experiences that prepares them to operate successfully in a global environment. The connections created by their visits and efforts will support lasting international connections. The PI and co-PIs have shown continual success and dedication in mentoring women students, a group under-represented in experimental nuclear physics, and they are committed to involving women students and other under-represented student groups in this project's research efforts.This award is jointly supported by the Office of International Science and Engineering and the Division of Physics.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。这项IRES奖励为乔治华盛顿大学、马里兰州蒙哥马利学院和马萨诸塞大学达特茅斯分校的学生提供了参与实验核物理学国际合作的机会，通过在德国美因茨约翰内斯古腾堡Universität的美因策尔微加速器（MAMI）和/或瑞典隆德大学的max实验室研究设施度过8周。该项目每年为4至6名本科生和最多2名研究生提供为期三年的支持。PI、联合PI和高级调查员将居住在隆德和美因茨，而美国学生将在场监督、指导和监督他们的进展。学生研究人员参与了在这两个实验室进行的实验的各个方面。这些实验旨在通过研究质子和中子的介子光产生来研究核子内部结构及其激发的动力学。在MAMI和max实验室开展的高质量研究计划将加强目前对重子和介子的夸克结构的研究。这些测量使用了MAMI的水晶球和TAPS探测器，以及MAX-lab的xSAL， CATS， DIANA和BUNI探测器。这些实验由MAMI的A2协作和MAX-lab的PIONS@MAXLAB协作进行。这些国际合作的成员自愿为我们的学生提供培训和指导。该计划为一组学生提供国际研究经验，为他们在全球环境中成功运作做好准备。他们的访问和努力所建立的联系将支持持久的国际联系。项目负责人和联合项目负责人在指导女性学生（实验核物理学中代表性不足的群体）方面取得了持续的成功和奉献精神，他们致力于让女性学生和其他代表性不足的学生群体参与该项目的研究工作。该奖项由国际科学与工程办公室和物理系联合支持。
