REU Site: Accelerator and Nuclear Physics

老道明大学的本科生研究体验(REU)网站每年夏天为八名本科生提供为期十周的研究机会，并在学年期间为两名学生提供继续学习加速器和核物理主题的机会。REU的学生将在托马斯·杰斐逊国家加速器设施进行这项研究。除了与经验丰富的导师一起参与研究外，学生们还将每周参加活动，以确保他们的研究不仅保持在正轨上，而且他们有一次引人入胜的大学和学术经历。到节目结束时，每个学生都将写一份研究报告，并在一次演讲中展示他们的工作成果，以及准备一张海报。这个REU网站将产生许多更广泛的影响，其重点是为本科生提供研究机会，帮助他们为未来的科学、技术、工程和数学职业做好准备。此外，该网站还专注于为那些只有少量或根本没有物理学研究项目的机构的学生提供研究机会。该网站有一个强有力的计划，从物理学中代表性较低的群体中招收学生。

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Old Dominion University provides opportunities to eight undergraduate students each summer for ten weeks of research with continued opportunities for two students during the academic year on topics in accelerator and nuclear physics. The REU students will conduct the research at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. In addition to participating in research with an experienced mentor, the students will engage in weekly activities to ensure not only that their research stays on track but that they have an engaging collegial and scholarly experience. By the end of the program, every student will have written a research report and presented the results of their work in a talk, as well as prepared a poster. This REU site will have a number of broader impacts with its focus on providing research opportunities to undergraduates to help prepare them for future science, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers. Additionally, the site focuses on providing research opportunities to students from institutions with small or no research programs in physics. The site has a strong plan to recruit students from groups underrepresented in physics.
