REU Site for Physics at Brigham Young University

杨百翰大学物理与天文学系于6月初至8月中旬为11名本科生举办为期10周的本科生暑期研究项目（REU），这些本科生有兴趣与该系教授一起从事物理和天文研究项目。这些学生将与杨百翰大学的大量学生一起在犹他州落基山脉进行暑期研究，并参加社交和户外活动。研究领域包括计算和实验等离子体物理、高功率激光物理、x射线和极紫外源与光学、观测天文学、声学、纳米技术、实验和计算凝聚态物理、用激光操纵原子和太阳能。特别鼓励女学生、未被充分代表的少数民族和残疾学生申请。参加者将获得津贴、生活费和往返犹他州普罗沃市的旅费。学生将体验到物理研究的兴奋，因为他们与教师导师密切合作。参与者还将接受计算、真空技术、电子学、激光诊断等方面的培训，并将有机会在向杨百翰大学参与暑期研究的其他学生报告工作时发展他们的演讲技巧。还将提供资金，供选定的学生在下一年在国家和区域会议上展示他们的作品。

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Brigham Young University hosts a 10-week summer research program for undergraduates (REU) from early June to mid-August for 11 undergraduate students who are interested in working on physics and astronomy research projects with professors in the department. These students will join a large number of BYU students for a summer of research coupled with social and outdoor activities in the Rocky Mountains of Utah. Research areas include computational and experimental plasma physics, high-power laser physics, x-ray and extreme ultraviolet sources and optics, observational astronomy, acoustics, nanotechnology, experimental and computational condensed matter physics, the manipulation of atoms with lasers, and solar energy. Women students, underrepresented minorities, and students with disabilities are especially encouraged to apply. The participants will receive a stipend, living expenses, and paid travel to and from Provo, Utah. Students will experience the excitement of research in physics as they work closely with faculty mentors. Participants will also receive training in computation, vacuum techniques, electronics, laser diagnostics, etc., and will also have an opportunity to develop their presentation skills as they report on their work to other students involved in summer research at BYU. Funds are also available to pay for selected students present their work at national and regional conferences in the following year.
