Graduate Training in Innovative Instrumentation for the Study of Complex Physical Phenomena

这一行动将支助先进研究仪器领域的6个为期5年的培训名额。康奈尔大学拥有各种各样的主要设施和独特的设备，用于粒子物理实验和凝聚态物质研究。该项目的受训者将利用这些设施学习如何设计测量基本物理兴趣量的新方法。技术培训将包括各种现代和复杂的专业，从加速器设计和极低温物理到微加工和材料表征。重点将放在由妇女和以前人数不足的少数民族填补培训名额。在过去的20年里，康奈尔大学物理系在培养女性物理学家方面取得了越来越大的成功。该计划将允许加强这些努力。

Support of six Traineeships for five years in the area of advanced research instrumentation will be supported by this action. Cornell has a wide variety of major facilities with unique equipment for experiments in particle physics and studies of condensed matter. Trainees under the program would use these facilities to learn how to devise new methods for measuring quantities of fundamental physical interest. The technological training would embrace a wide range of modern and complex specialties ranging from accelerator design and very low temperature physics to microfabrication and materials characterization. Major emphasis would be placed upon filling the Traineeships with women and previously underrepresented minorities. The Cornell Physics Department has demonstrated its commitment to training women physicists with increasing success over the past 20 years. The program would permit an enhancement of those efforts.
