REU Site: Nevis Labs, Columbia University for Summers 2014-2016

哥伦比亚大学尼维斯实验室的本科生研究经验（REU）站点每年夏天为10名本科生提供参与实验高能物理和粒子天体物理学主题研究的机会。其中两名学生将在瑞士的欧洲核研究组织（European Organization for Nuclear research）进行暑期研究。除了与导师一起参与研究外，REU学生还将获得技术交流，研究合作和网络以及负责任的研究行为的知识和实践。在课程结束时，每个学生都将在期末报告和研究论文中展示工作成果。这个REU网站将有许多更广泛的影响，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。该网站有一个强有力的计划，从物理学中代表性不足的群体和非研究机构中招收本科生。该项目由正在进行的评估通知。

The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the Nevis Laboratories of Columbia University provides ten undergraduate students each summer the opportunity to participate in research on topics in experimental high energy physics and particle astrophysics. Two of the students will spend the summer conducting research at the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland. In addition to participating in research with an mentor, the REU students will gain knowledge of and practice technical communications, research collaboration and networking, and responsible conduct of research. By the end of the program, every student will have presented the results of the work in a final talk and a research paper.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. The site has a strong plan to recruit undergraduate students from groups underrepresented in physics and from non-research institutions. The project is informed by an on-going evaluation.
