Baylor University (CASPER) REU/RET Site Proposal

该奖项支持贝勒大学天体物理、空间物理和工程研究中心内本科生研究经验和教师研究经验 REU/RET 站点的延续。三十名参与的学生将在充满活力的教师导师的直接监督下，通过在协作研究环境中完成独立的十周项目，积极参与前沿研究。学生的研究机会涉及天体物理学、复杂等离子体物理学、宇宙学、基本粒子物理学、核物理学、量子光学、空间物理学和超弦物理学。该网站还为最多 15 名教师提供了中心的研究机会，他们还开发了课程以带回课堂。参与者参加每周两次的研讨会、夏末的本科生研究研讨会以及针对各个感兴趣的研究领域专门设计的课程。

This award supports the continuation of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates and Research Experiences for Teachers REU/RET site within the Center for Astrophysics, Space Physics and Engineering Research at Baylor University. Thirty participating students will be actively engaged in cutting edge research under the direct supervision of energetic faculty mentors through the completion of self-contained ten week projects in a collaborative research environment. Student research opportunities are in the areas of astrophysics, complex plasma physics, cosmology, elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, quantum optics, space physics, and superstring physics. The site further provides research opportunities at the Center for up to fifteen teachers, who also develop curricula to take back into the classroom. Participants engage in twice-weekly seminars, an Undergraduate Research Symposium at the end of the summer and specially designed classes in various research areas of interest.
