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.

这个研究经验的本科生（REU）网站在老自治领大学提供的机会，每年夏天为八名本科生十周的研究与持续的机会，为两名学生在学年的主题在加速器和核物理。REU的学生将在托马斯杰斐逊国家加速器设施进行研究。除了与经验丰富的导师一起参与研究外，学生们还将参加每周的活动，以确保他们的研究不仅保持在正轨上，而且他们有一个引人入胜的大学和学术经验。在课程结束时，每个学生都将撰写一份研究报告，并在演讲中展示他们的工作成果，并准备了一张海报。这个REU网站将有一些更广泛的影响，其重点是为本科生提供研究机会，以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，该网站还致力于为来自物理学研究项目较少或没有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，从物理学代表性不足的群体中招募学生。
