REU Site: Renewal of REU at ODU: Accelerator and Nuclear Physics

该奖项支持旧自治领大学和托马斯杰斐逊国家加速器设施的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。 REU网站的目标是每年继续让8名本科生接触到独立研究带来的兴奋感和成就感，并提供信息和联系，以提高他们选择科学职业的机会。在严格的同行评审项目在杰斐逊实验室的国家的最先进的设施（具有指导和培养学生的长期传统的环境），选定的学生将被引导作出有意义的贡献，在超导RF结构，新颖的加速器设计和粒子探测器的进步。学生将与广泛的专家，即ODU教师，研究生和博士后和杰斐逊实验室的工作人员科学家和工程师以及其他本科生的一大群互动。为本科生量身定制的研讨会系列和杰斐逊实验室定期举办的正常座谈会和研讨会将补充研究计划。学生将在他们的研究工作的书面和口头陈述培训，因为有效的沟通是成功的职业生涯的关键。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划共同资助。

This award supports the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Old Dominion University and the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The goal of the REU site is to continue exposing eight undergraduates per year to the sense of excitement and accomplishment that accompanies independent research and to provide information and contacts that improve their chances of choosing scientific careers. In rigorously peer-reviewed projects in Jefferson Lab's state-of-the-art facilities (an environment with a longstanding tradition of mentoring and nurturing students) selected students will be guided to make meaningful contributions to advances in superconducting RF structures, novel accelerator design, and particle detectors. The students will interact with a broad range of experts, namely, ODU faculty, graduate students and post-docs and Jefferson Lab staff scientists and engineers as well as with a large group of other undergraduates. A seminar series tailored for the undergraduate students and the normal colloquia and seminars, which regularly occur at Jefferson Lab, will complement the research program. The students will be trained in both written and oral presentations of their research work because effective communication is critical for successful careers. The site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.
