REU in the SCIPP Microelectronics Laboratory

这笔赠款将为位于圣克鲁斯粒子物理研究所(SCIPP)的REU站点和加州大学圣克鲁斯分校的物理系提供一年的进一步支持。来自全国各地的本科生将被纳入正在进行的研究活动中，这些本科生主要来自物理学领域代表性不足的群体。学生在教师的直接监督下，与博士后研究人员、学生和工作人员合作，在高能物理和凝聚态物质实验室全职工作九周。研究项目涵盖了广泛的主题，从半导体探测器和相关ASIC的工作到聚合物在显示技术中的应用。在每周的课程中，学生们报告他们的发现，并与他们的同龄人讨论。此外，还安排参观附近的研究机构。这些学生被作为一个小组安置在校园里，以促进不同背景的学生之间的互动。

This grant will provide one year's further support of the REU Site located in the Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics (SCIPP) and the Physics Department at UC Santa Cruz. Undergraduates from all over the country largely from groups under-represented in physics will be integrated into on-going research activities. Students work for nine weeks full-time in the High-Energy Physics and Condensed Matter laboratories under the direct supervision of faculty and in collaboration with post-doctoral researchers, students and staff. The research projects cover a wide variety of topics, from work on semiconductor detectors and associated ASIC's to application of polymers in display technology. In weekly sessions, students report on their findings and discuss them with their peers. In addition, visits to nearby research institutions are arranged. The students are housed as a group on campus, to foster interaction of students with different backgrounds.
