CERN Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates 2011-2014

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。大型强子对撞机目前正在收集数据，研究结果已经开始浮出水面。欧洲核子研究中心的研究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。这些本科生将在欧洲核子研究中心度过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。

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). The LHC is currently taking data and research results are already beginning to emerge. The research at CERN represents the frontier for experimental high energy physics for several decades to come. Students 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 undergraduate students will spend nine 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.
