International: Research Experiences for Students at CERN

乔治梅森大学（GMU）的菲利普·d·鲁宾（Philip D. Rubin）将与欧洲核子研究中心（CERN）合作，获得为期三年的国际学生研究经验（IRES）奖，为15名本科生（每年5名）开展为期10周的暑期研究实习培训计划。欧洲核子研究中心以粒子加速器和探测器的形式拥有一些世界上最大、技术上最复杂的科学仪器，是世界上最具活力和最具国际性的研究中心之一。粒子物理学的所有方面都在那里进行：理论、研究和发展、信息技术、实验和数据分析。首席研究员是NA62合作组织的成员，该组织由来自欧洲、俄罗斯和北美的约120名物理学家组成，他们利用欧洲核子研究中心的超级质子同步加速器（SPS）在固定目标实验中研究超罕见的k介子衰变。每年，CERN为来自欧洲和其他国家的近200名本科生开展暑期学生研究计划；获得资助的学生将参与本项目，他们的项目可以来自CERN的任何研究领域。参与者将从华盛顿大都会地区大学联盟成员机构或北弗吉尼亚社区学院的学生中抽取。该计划的第一周将在GMU的一个预备研讨会上度过，其余九周将在瑞士的欧洲核子研究中心度过。该项目将包括技能发展、在CERN现场专家和Rubin教授的共同监督下的研究经验、学术和职业咨询以及国际交流机会。每位参与的学生将在CERN至少做一次报告，并就所承担的项目写一份技术说明。欧洲核子研究中心的导师将从他们的角度评估这些经历，学生将对他们的经历写一篇简短的总结和评估。

With the three-year International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) award, Philip D. Rubin, from George Mason University (GMU), will conduct a ten-week, combined Summer research internship-training program for fifteen undergraduates (five per year), in cooperation with CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. CERN houses some of the world's largest and most technically complex scientific instruments in the form of particle accelerators and detectors, and is one of the most vibrant and international research centers in the world. All aspects of particle physics are pursued there: theory, research and development, information technology, experiments, and data analysis. The Principal Investigator is a member of the NA62 collaboration, a group of about 120 physicists from Europe, Russia, and North America, investigating ultra-rare kaon decays in a fixed target experiment using the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). Annually, CERN conducts a Summer Student Research Programme for nearly 200 undergraduates from around Europe and other countries; the students supported by this grant will participate in this program, and their projects may come from any of the research areas available at CERN. Participants will be drawn from students attending a member institution of the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area or the Northern Virginia Community College. The first week of the program will be spent at GMU in a preparatory workshop, and the remaining nine weeks will be spent in Switzerland at CERN. The program will include skill development, research experience under the co-supervision of an on-site CERN expert and Professor Rubin, academic and career advising, and international networking opportunities. Each participating student will make at least one presentation at CERN and write a technical note on the project undertaken. CERN-stationed mentors will evaluate the experiences from their point of view, and the students will write a short summary and evaluation of their experiences.
