Physics Research Experiences for Undergraduates at RochesterP-REU-R

*奥金克洛斯这笔赠款将支持全国范围内的本科生参与罗切斯特大学物理和天文学系的监督研究项目。该项目旨在让50%的女性和代表性不足的少数民族参与进来，是对学院和院系其他倡议的补充，目的是让这些群体更充分地参与科学活动。学生可以从下列实验和理论研究领域中选择：粒子和核物理；量子光学和激光；天体物理和红外天文学；凝聚态物理；以及生物和医学物理。所有与会者均可获得现场住宿。中心研究体验在每年夏天为期两个半月的全职工作期间进行，在此期间，每个学生都会与一名教师顾问密切合作，选择一个研究项目并进行研究。还提供机械加工和电子学的小型课程，并组织了一系列参与者会议，包括关于各种主题的研讨会--例如申请研究生院、物理伦理和政策问题、以及当前物理研究的主题--以及参观研究设施(激光能量学实验室、Mees天文台、激光冷却和陷阱实验室等)。暑期计划以一个小型研讨会结束，学生们在会上展示他们的研究成果。学生提供他们的研究经验的书面报告，教师顾问被要求对学生的工作发表评论。强烈鼓励每个学生在学年期间继续兼职从事研究咨询工作，目的是完成一本科学出版物。***

*** Auchincloss This grant will support the involvement of undergraduates nationwide to undertake supervised research projects in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Rochester. Aiming at 50% participation by women and underrepresented minorities, the project complements other college-wide and departmental initiatives to more fully engage these groups in science. Students may choose from the following experimental and theoretical research areas: particle and nuclear physics; quantum optics and laser; astrophysics and infrared astronomy; condensed matter physics; and biological and medical physics. On-site housing is available for all participants. The central research experience takes place during a 2.5-month, full-time work period each summer, during which time each student works closely with a faculty advisor to select a research project and pursue it. Mini- courses in machining and electronics are also offered, and a series of participant sessions is organized, including seminars on varied subjects -- such as applying to graduate school, ethical and policy issues in physics, and current topics in physics research -- and tours of research facilities (the Laboratory for Laser Energetics, the Mees Observatory, the Laser Cooling and Trapping Lab, and others). The summer program ends with a mini-symposium at which students present their research results. Students provide written reports of their research experience, and faculty advisors are requested to comment on student work. Each student is strongly encouraged to continue part-time work with his or her research advisory during the academic year, with the aim of completing a scientific publication. ***
