This award supports a collaboration between George Mason University (GMU) and the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Through this project, eighteen undergraduate students (six per year) will participate in a nine-week Summer research and training experience at CERN. CERN is among the most vibrant and international research centers in the world. Its scientific instruments - accelerators and detectors - are some of the largest and most technically complex ever built. All aspects of accelerator-focused research and design are carried out there. While fundamental particle physics is CERN's primary mission, active work is also undertaken in nuclear, molecular, and atomic physics, as well as detector and accelerator design and computing methods and infrastructure. Participating students will attend a one-week orientation and training workshop at GMU, and then spend eight weeks at CERN undertaking research projects related to CERN's particle accelerators and detectors. The students are guided in their research by internationally-trained, CERN-affiliated scientists, engineers, or computer specialists, and are co-supervised by the PI. Participants are part of CERN?s Summer Student Programme, which hosts nearly 300 undergraduates from around Europe and other countries. For participating students, this is an international learning and networking experience that may very well turn out to be among the highlights of their academic careers.Principal Investigator Rubin is a member of the NA62 collaboration, a group of about 200 physicists from Europe, Russia, and North America, which is investigating ultra-rare kaon decays in a fixed target experiment using beam from CERN?s Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). IRES participants may indicate preferences for work in any of the research areas available at CERN. In this project, participants will be advanced STEM students recruited from US academic institutions with a highly diverse student body. At the conclusion of their Summer experiences, the student researchers will complete a presentation and a technical note reporting their research results.

该奖项支持乔治梅森大学（GMU）和欧洲核研究组织（CERN）之间的合作。 通过这个项目，18名本科生（每年6名）将在CERN参加为期9周的夏季研究和培训体验。CERN是世界上最具活力和国际化的研究中心之一。它的科学仪器-加速器和探测器-是有史以来最大和技术最复杂的。所有以加速器为重点的研究和设计都在那里进行。 虽然基本粒子物理学是CERN的主要使命，但在核，分子和原子物理学以及探测器和加速器设计和计算方法和基础设施方面也开展了积极的工作。参与的学生将在GMU参加为期一周的定向和培训研讨会，然后在CERN进行与CERN粒子加速器和探测器相关的研究项目。学生在他们的研究由国际培训，欧洲核子研究中心附属的科学家，工程师或计算机专家指导，并由PI共同监督。参与者是CERN的一部分吗？的暑期学生计划，该计划接待了来自欧洲和其他国家的近300名本科生。对于参与的学生来说，这是一次国际化的学习和交流经历，很可能成为他们学术生涯中的亮点之一。首席研究员鲁宾是NA 62合作项目的成员，该项目由来自欧洲、俄罗斯和北美的约200名物理学家组成，他们正在利用欧洲核子研究中心的光束在固定目标实验中研究超罕见的K介子衰变。超级质子同步加速器（SPS）。 IRES参与者可以表明对CERN任何研究领域工作的偏好。 在这个项目中，参与者将是从美国学术机构招募的高级STEM学生，学生群体高度多样化。在他们的夏季经验结束时，学生研究人员将完成一个演示文稿和一个技术说明报告他们的研究结果。
