Undergraduate Summer Research in Physics and Astronomy: An REU Site at the University of Oklahoma

俄克拉荷马大学的物理学和天文学暑期研究项目将为本科生提供一个实质性参与科学研究的机会。10名外部学生将由REU现场资助，至少5名内部学生将由大学内部的各种来源资助。每两周一次的研讨会系列，强调学生的参与以及与教师和研究生的互动，将使参与者从他们的研究经验中获得最大的收益。该计划的一个显著特点是，所有学生参与者都将接触到四个不同但重点突出的领域的理论和实验研究：天体物理学、原子和分子；凝聚态物质和粒子物理。将在全国和区域范围内招收外部学生，重点是代表性不足的群体和缺乏研究经验机会的参与者。该计划的目标是鼓励和准备学生在物理学和天文学领域寻求进一步的教育和职业机会。

A summer research program in Physics and Astronomy at the University of Oklahoma will provide undergraduates with an opportunity to materially participate in scientific research. Ten external students will be funded by the REU site grant and at least five internal students will be funded by a variety of sources within the University. A biweekly seminar series with strong emphasis on student participation and interaction with faculty and graduate students will enable the participants to gain the most benefit from their research experience. A distinguishing feature of the program will be the exposure of all student participants to both theoretical and experimental research in four distinct but well focused areas: astrophysics, atomic and molecular; condensed matter, and particle physics. External students will be recruited nationally and regionally with emphasis on underrepresented groups and participants who otherwise lack opportunities for research experience. The goal of the program is to encourage and prepare students to seek further educational and career opportunities in physics and astronomy.
