This award supports the continuation of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site in physics at Cornell University. The students will work on a range of projects that advance the Laboratory's scientific mission, further their education and training, and heighten their interest in pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Although the research scope of this REU program is focused on understanding the fundamental physics of beams and accelerators and the uses of the radiation they produce, the techniques and technologies utilized are applicable to a much wider range of scientific careers. Each student is asked to participate in one of the outreach programs at the Laboratory, teaching them to communicate the scientific ideas with the general public and exposing them to the outreach prospects at their home institutions, through the Student Physical Society (SPS) chapters and other outlets.The Cornell Laboratory has an international reputation for research, with a unique constellation of programs including accelerator physics, synchrotron radiation research, and microwave superconductivity. The student participants have full access to the resources of the Laboratory and University, and will work closely with Laboratory experienced researchers. The students will participate in joint activities that include lectures of wide topics in the accelerator physics and X-ray science; take part with a bigger body of REU groups on campus in fun-talks and hands-on activities that introduce various frontiers of physics research; and attend events addressing the social and ethical issues in scientific research and conduct. These joint activities provide an excellent environment for networking of the future scientists.

该奖项支持康奈尔大学物理学本科生研究经验（REU）网站的延续。 学生们将从事一系列项目，推进实验室的科学使命，促进他们的教育和培训，并提高他们在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科追求事业的兴趣。 虽然该REU计划的研究范围集中在了解光束和加速器的基本物理学以及它们产生的辐射的使用，但所使用的技术和技术适用于更广泛的科学职业。每个学生都被要求参加实验室的一个推广项目，通过学生物理学会（SPS）分会和其他渠道，教他们与公众交流科学思想，并让他们接触到他们所在机构的推广前景。康奈尔实验室在研究方面享有国际声誉，拥有独特的项目群，包括加速器物理，同步辐射研究和微波超导。学生参与者可以充分利用实验室和大学的资源，并将与实验室经验丰富的研究人员密切合作。学生将参加联合活动，包括在加速器物理学和X射线科学的广泛主题的讲座;参加在有趣的讲座和动手活动，介绍物理学研究的各种前沿校园里的REU组的一个更大的机构的一部分;并参加解决科学研究和行为的社会和道德问题的活动。这些联合活动为未来的科学家建立网络提供了良好的环境。
