项目摘要

This award is funded in whole (or in part) under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). The award supports the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site in physics and astronomy at Louisiana State University. The impact of this program is seeking to foster interest in careers in science by introducing students to research-oriented careers in physics and astronomy while further developing research-related skills and knowledge. REU students are recruited nationally and the students can be in any academic year. For the ten-week program, the participants are matched with faculty mentors based on student interests. Students join their mentors in active research projects, such as performing analysis on data from the long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment T2K,instrumentation development and data simulations to support gravitational wave research, and designing quantum error correction codes and quantum memory for photonic qubits.There are weekly seminars and workshops that introduce the students to various topics such as faculty research, overall skills development, to common research resources, and to professional development topics such as ethics and patents/intellectual property. Students participate in field trips and other activities, some of which are coordinated with concurrent LSU summer science programs in computer science, biomedical science and other areas. Students from all programs are lodged in proximity at on-campus apartment-style housing, to foster group interactions and a sense of community.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.

该奖项的全部（或部分）资金根据《2021 年美国救援计划法案》（公法 117-2）提供。该奖项支持路易斯安那州立大学物理和天文学本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站。该计划的影响是通过向学生介绍物理和天文学的研究型职业，同时进一步发展与研究相关的技能和知识，寻求培养对科学职业的兴趣。 REU 学生在全国范围内招生，学生可以是任何学年的学生。对于为期十周的项目，参与者会根据学生的兴趣与教师导师进行匹配。学生与导师一起参与活跃的研究项目，例如对长基线中微子振荡实验 T2K 的数据进行分析、支持引力波研究的仪器开发和数据模拟，以及为光子量子位设计量子纠错码和量子存储器。每周举办研讨会和讲习班，向学生介绍各种主题，如教师研究、整体技能发展、共同研究资源以及伦理学等专业发展主题和专利/知识产权。学生参加实地考察和其他活动，其中一些活动与路易斯安那州立大学同时进行的计算机科学、生物医学科学和其他领域的夏季科学项目相协调。所有项目的学生都住在校内公寓式住房附近，以促进群体互动和社区意识。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
