REU Site: University of Washington Physics

这一奖项是为了支持华盛顿大学物理系本科生研究经验(REU)站点计划的更新。该计划提供了来自物理学许多子领域的广泛的学生项目选择，为期十周的夏季研究。它利用了华盛顿大学强大的内部“桌面”实验计划；其出色的机器车间设施，包括一流的学生商店；CENPA，美国能源部在核物理和天体物理方面的卓越中心；以及从核理论研究所到20万亿浮点的本地集群的理论机会。每名学生参与者都将与威斯康星州大学的一名教师顾问合作。大多数物理学教员作为顾问参加，从附属部门挑选出来的教员也是如此。学生的工作包括：仪器的设计、建造和调试；数据收集和分析；数值建模；此类建模软件的开发；以及理论。还计划开展各种社交活动，让学生参观西雅图地区并与其他学生互动。

This award is to support the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site program in the Physics Department at the University of Washington. The program offers a broad selection of student projects from many sub-fields of physics, for ten weeks of summer research. It makes use of the University of Washington's strong in-house "table-top" experimental programs; its outstanding machine-shop facilities including a first-rate student shop; CENPA, a DOE center-of-excellence in nuclear physics and astrophysics; and theory opportunities ranging from the Institute for Nuclear Theory to a twenty-teraflop local cluster. Each student participant will be partnered with a UW faculty advisor. Most Physics faculty members participate as advisors, as do selected faculty from affiliated departments. Student work includes: design, construction, and commissioning of instrumentation; data collection and analysis; numerical modeling; the development of software for such modeling; and theory. A variety of social activities that allow students to see the Seattle area and to interact with other students are also planned.
