REU Site: Research in Physics & Astronomy at Louisiana State University

该奖项支持路易斯安那州立大学本科生研究经验（REU）网站的更新。 该计划的预期影响是通过向学生介绍物理学和天文学研究型职业的性质，并通过发展与研究相关的技能和知识，培养学生对科学职业的兴趣。REU学生在全国范围内招募;学生可以是任何学年的学生，不需要有申报的专业，但必须在他们的学校完成普通物理序列。在为期十周的课程中，参与者将根据学生的兴趣与教师导师进行匹配。学生们将加入他们的导师在积极的研究项目，如：-从长基线中微子振荡实验T2 K的数据进行分析;-在全国最快的超级计算机上模拟黑洞和超新星爆炸，以确定它们在引力，电磁和中微子探测器的可见性;设计光子量子比特的量子纠错码和量子存储器。每周的研讨会和讲习班向学生介绍教师的研究，技能发展，公共研究资源，以及职业发展主题，如道德和专利/知识产权。学生参加实地考察和其他活动，其中一些是与计算机科学，生物医学科学和其他领域的并行路易斯安那州立大学夏季科学计划协调。来自所有课程的学生都住在校园公寓式住房附近，以促进团体互动和社区意识。

This award supports the renewal of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at Louisiana State University. The intended impact of this program is fostering interest in careers in science, by introducing students to the nature of research-oriented careers in physics and astronomy and by developing research-related skills and knowledge. REU students are recruited nationally; students can be of any academic year and need not have a declared major, but must have completed the general physics sequence at their school. For the ten-week program, the participants will be matched with faculty mentors based on student interests. Students will join their mentors in active research projects, such as: - performing analysis on data from the long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment T2K;- simulating black holes and supernova explosions on the nation's fastest supercomputers, to determine their visibility in gravitational, electromagnetic, and neutrino detectors; and- designing quantum error correction codes and quantum memory for photonic qubits.Weekly seminars and workshops introduce the students to faculty research, to skills development, to common research resources, and to professional development topics such as ethics and patents/intellectual property. Students participate in field trips and other activities, some of which are coordinated with concurrent LSU summer science programs in computer science, biomedical science and other areas. Students from all programs are lodged in proximity at on-campus apartment-style housing, to foster group interactions and a sense of community.
