REU Site: University of Washington Physics

该奖项支持更新华盛顿大学本科生研究经验(REU)网站。该项目提供了来自几乎每个物理学子领域的广泛的学生项目选择。它利用了华盛顿大学强大的内部“桌面”实验计划；它的机器车间设施，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。该奖项每个暑期资助10名学生。选拔将是竞争性的，考虑到过去的学业表现，推荐信，并考虑到对学生职业生涯的潜在影响。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。这项工作以发表期刊而告终的情况并不少见。

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.
