REU Site: University of Washington Physics

该奖项是为了支持在华盛顿大学物理系本科生（REU）的研究经验现场程序的更新。 该计划提供了一个广泛的选择，从物理学的许多子领域的学生项目，为期十周的夏季研究。它利用了华盛顿大学的内部“桌面”实验项目;其机械车间设施，包括学生商店; CENPA，能源部核物理和天体物理学卓越中心;以及从核理论研究所到两万亿次本地集群的理论机会。 每个学生参与者将与UW的教师顾问合作。大多数物理教师作为顾问参加，从附属部门选择的教师也是如此。学生工作包括：仪器的设计、建造和调试;数据收集和分析;数值建模;此类建模软件的开发;以及理论。 各种各样的社交活动，让学生看到西雅图地区，并与其他学生互动也计划。在过去，这包括与其他校园REU团体的互动，如数学和化学。

This award is to support the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site program in the Physics Department at the University of Washington. The program offers a broad selection of student projects from many sub-fields of physics, for ten weeks of summer research. It makes use of the University of Washington's in-house "table-top" experimental programs; its machine-shop facilities including a student shop; CENPA, a DOE center-of-excellence in nuclear physics and astrophysics; and theory opportunities ranging from the Institute for Nuclear Theory to a two-teraflop local cluster. Each student participant will be partnered with a UW faculty advisor. Most Physics faculty members participate as advisors, as do selected faculty from affiliated departments. Student work includes: design, construction, and commissioning of instrumentation; data collection and analysis; numerical modeling; the development of software for such modeling; and theory. A variety of social activities that allow students to see the Seattle area and to interact with other students are also planned. In the past this has included interactions with other on-campus REU groups, such as those from Mathematics and Chemistry.
