University of Michigan - CERN Research Experience for Undergraduate and High School Teacher Programs

密歇根大学安阿伯的本科生研究体验（REU）网站每年夏天为15名本科生提供机会，参加瑞士日内瓦欧洲核子研究组织（CERN）的高能物理研究。除了与经验丰富的导师一起参与研究外，REU学生还将参加研讨会和讲座等活动，以了解国际科学合作的性质以及现代物理学研究的问题和方法。在项目结束时，每个学生都将做一个正式的演讲，演讲将被录制成视频并发布在CERN的网站上。这个项目包括一个教师研究经验（RET）网站，每年夏天，来自美国各地的五名高中教师都将在CERN接触研究世界。 教师将利用他们的经验来激励学生更好地理解物理世界，并为他们成为下一代科学家做好准备。教师还与其他国家的教师分享教学方法。美国在欧洲核子研究中心的研究计划中拥有大量的股份和财政投资。因此，美国本科生和高中教师参与CERN的研究和学习机会是非常合适的。该网站有一个强有力的计划，从物理学代表性不足的群体中招募本科生和教师，以确保这种宝贵的国际研究经验能够为未来的物理学家和培养未来物理学家的高中教师提供多样化的群体。

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor provides fifteen undergraduate students each summer the opportunity to participate in research on topics in high energy physics at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. In addition to participating in research with an experienced mentor, the REU students will engage in activities such as seminars and lectures to learn to understand the nature of international scientific collaborations and the questions and methods of modern physics research. By the end of the program, every student will have given a formal presentation, which will be recorded on video and posted on the CERN website.This project includes a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) site, where each summer five high school teachers from across the U.S. are exposed to the world of research at CERN. The teachers will use their experience to motivate their students to better understand the physical world and prepare them to become the future generation of scientists. Teachers also share teaching methods with teachers from other countries.This REU and RET site will have a number of broader impacts. The U.S. has a significant stake and financial investment in the CERN research program. Therefore, it is very appropriate that U.S. undergraduate students and high school teachers are involved in research and learning opportunities at CERN. The site has a strong plan to recruit undergraduate students and teachers from groups underrepresented in physics to ensure that this valuable international research experience is accessible to a diverse group of future physicists and high school teachers who train future physicists.
