REU Site - Physics Research for Undergraduates

内华达大学拉斯维加斯分校(UNLV)运营着一个本科生研究体验(REU)网站。REU网站隶属于联合国大学物理系。学生在全国范围内招生，优先录取来自美国西部的学生，来自代表性较低群体的学生，以及来自研究设施有限的机构的学生。每个暑期有10名学生参加实验室研究计划、系列研讨会和暑期结束时的学生海报会议。学生们住在宿舍里，一起吃饭，从而培养了一种群体互动的意识。这些学生加入了来自其他领域的其他本科生研究人员的行列，参加了一个近30名学生的联合暑期研究项目。学生有机会参观内华达州考点的主要国家设施，以及劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室的高级光源(ALS)或阿贡国家实验室的高级光子源(APS)。许多学生利用UNLV的研究设施参与ALS或APS的研究。因此，学生可以在“小科学”和“大科学”中获得研究经验。

The University of Nevada-Las Vegas (UNLV) operates a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site. The REU Site is affiliated with the Physics Department at UNLV. Students are recruited nationally, with preference for students from the western US, students from underrepresented groups, and students from institutions with limited research facilities. Ten students per summer participate in the program of laboratory research, a seminar series, and a student poster session at the end of the summer. Students live in the dorms and eat their meals together, thus fostering a sense of group interaction. The students join other undergraduate student researchers from other fields in a combined summer research program of nearly thirty students. Students have an opportunity to visit major national facilities at the Nevada Test Site and at either the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory or the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory. Many of the students participate in research at the ALS or APS, using UNLV's research facilities. Students thus get a research experience in both "small science" and "big science".
