REU Site in Physics at UC Davis

位于戴维斯的加州大学物理系将接待本科生进行暑期研究体验。最终的目标是鼓励学生继续学习物理通过和超越大学水平。该计划将为学生提供在典型课程中看不到的物理学观点：研究的喜悦和挫折的第一手经验，以及有关几种类型的物理学职业的信息。 该计划将在未来三年内每年支持10名学生，其中一半来自北方加州的两年制和四年制大学，其余的来自全国的四年制学院和大学。该计划的核心是一个研究项目，由一个或多个教员监督，在凝聚态物理，生物物理，物理学，环境物理，核物理，高能物理或宇宙学。 补充活动将包括介绍性演讲，概述当前的物理学研究领域，午餐会，以鼓励对学生的研究项目进行讨论，并参观附近的国家实验室和行业，以说明职业开放给训练有素的物理学家。 该计划将以学生的研究报告结束，并与另一个针对社区学院理工科本科生的十名学生暑期项目联合举行。

The Physics Department of the University of California at Davis will host undergraduates for a summer research experience. The ultimate goal is to encourage students to continue studying physics through and beyond the college level. The program will give students views of physics not seen in typical coursework: first-hand experience of the joys and frustrations of research, and information about several types of physics careers. The program will support ten students per year for the next three years, with half recruited from two-year and four-year colleges in northern California and the remainder recruited nationally from four-year colleges and universities. The heart of the program is a research project, supervised by one or more faculty members, in condensed matter physics, biophysics, geophysics, environmental physics, nuclear physics, high energy physics, or cosmology. Supplementary activities will include introductory talks giving overviews of current physics research areas, lunch meetings to encourage discussion about the students' research projects, and visits to nearby national laboratories and industry to illustrate careers open to trained physicists. The program will conclude with research presentations by the students, given at a combined session with another ten-student summer program aimed at science and engineering undergraduates from community colleges.
