REU at ODU: Accelerator and Nuclear Physics

该奖项支持一个新的本科生研究经验（REU）网站位于老道明大学与托马斯·杰斐逊国家加速器设施合作。REU将为6-10名加速器和核物理专业的本科生提供研究机会。其目标是让被选中的本科生体会到独立研究带来的兴奋和成就感，并为他们提供信息和人脉，以提高他们留在物理学领域的机会。学生们将有充足的时间相互交流，与ODU教师、研究生和杰斐逊实验室的工作人员科学家交流，其中一些人在ODU有联合任命。学校将组织社会/文化活动，帮助学生之间建立牢固的联系。在杰斐逊实验室最先进的设施中进行严格的同行评审项目-具有长期指导和培养学生的传统环境- REU学生将被很好地引导，为超导射频结构，新型加速器设计和粒子探测器的进步做出有意义的贡献。

This award supports a new research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site to be located at Old Dominion University in partnership with Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. The REU site will provide research opportunities for 6-10 undergraduates in accelerator and nuclear physics. The goal is to expose selected undergraduates to the sense of excitement and accomplishment that accompanies independent research and to provide information and contacts that can improve their chances of remaining in physics. The students will have ample time to interact with each other, the ODU faculty, graduate students and Jefferson Lab staff scientists, several of whom hold joint appointments at ODU. Social/Cultural activities will be organized to help forge a strong bond among the students. In rigorously peer-reviewed projects in Jefferson Lab's state-of-the-art facilities - an environment with a longstanding tradition of mentoring and nurturing students - the REU students will be well guided to make meaningful contributions to advances in superconducting RF structures, novel accelerator design, and particle detectors.
