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.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》（公法117-2）的全部（或部分）资助的。该奖项支持路易斯安那州立大学物理和天文学的本科生研究经验。该计划的影响是通过向学生介绍面向研究的物理和天文学的职业，同时进一步发展与研究相关的技能和知识，以促进对科学职业的兴趣。 REU学生将在全国范围内招募，并且学生可以在任何学年。对于十周的计划，参与者根据学生兴趣与教师导师相匹配。学生与他们的指导者一起参加活跃的研究项目，例如对长期基线中微子振荡实验进行数据分析，T2K，仪器开发和数据模拟以支持引力波研究，并设计量子错误校正代码和光子量子的量子记忆。和专利/知识产权。学生参加实地考察和其他活动，其中一些活动与计算机科学，生物医学科学和其他领域的同时的LSU夏季科学计划进行了协调。来自所有计划的学生在校园公寓式住房的附近，以促进团体互动和社区意识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的审查标准通过评估来获得支持的。
