项目摘要

This award funds the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site in the Physics Department at the University of Chicago. The site will support twelve students for ten weeks of summer research at the University of Chicago each year. The program's core for each student is a well-defined 10- week summer research project under the supervision of a University of Chicago faculty member. The students will learn to communicate science by submitting a written report and making an oral presentation on their work.In their applications, the students are asked about which areas of research they are most interested in pursuing. They are then placed with faculty mentors who work in those specialties. These areas include high-energy physics, cosmic-ray physics, astrophysics, general relativity, condensed-matter physics, non-linear dynamics, biophysics, fluid mechanics, and topological physics. The program provides students with exposure to a broad set of topics across many areas of physics. This task is accomplished by a bi-weekly series of talks presented by faculty introducing some of the most important research topics currently pursued in the Department.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项为芝加哥大学物理系本科生研究经验（REU）网站提供资金。该网站每年将支持12名学生在芝加哥大学进行为期10周的暑期研究。该计划的核心是每个学生在芝加哥大学教师的监督下进行一个明确的为期10周的暑期研究项目。学生们将通过提交一份书面报告和对他们的工作进行口头陈述来学习科学交流。在他们的申请中，学生们被问及他们最感兴趣的研究领域。然后，他们被安排到在这些专业工作的教师导师那里。这些领域包括高能物理学、宇宙射线物理学、天体物理学、广义相对论、凝聚态物理学、非线性动力学、生物物理学、流体力学和拓扑物理学。该课程为学生提供了接触物理学许多领域的广泛主题的机会。这项任务是通过每两周一次的一系列讲座来完成的，这些讲座由教师介绍本系目前正在进行的一些最重要的研究课题。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
