REU Site: University of Washington Physics

该奖项支持在华盛顿大学本科生（REU）网站的研究经验的更新。 该计划提供了一个广泛的选择学生的项目，从几乎每一个物理子领域。它利用了华盛顿大学强大的内部“桌面”实验项目;它的机器车间设施，包括一流的学生商店; CENPA，能源部在核物理和天体物理学方面的卓越中心;以及从核理论研究所到20万亿次本地集群的理论机会。该奖项每年夏天支持10名学生。选择将是竞争性的，考虑过去的学习成绩，推荐信，并考虑到影响学生的职业生涯的潜力。每个学生参与者将与UW的教师顾问合作。大多数物理教师作为顾问参加，从附属部门选择的教师也是如此。学生工作包括：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。这项工作经常以期刊出版而告终。

This award supports the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Washington. The program offers a broad selection of student projects from almost every sub-field of physics. It makes use of the University of Washington's strong in-house "table-top" experimental programs; its 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. The award supports ten students per summer. Selection will be competitive, considering past academic performance, letters of recommendation, and taking into account the potential for impacting the student's career. 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. Not infrequently this work culminates with a journal publication.
