REU Site: Research Experience for Undergraduates in Astrophysics, Nuclear and Particle Physics

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。 该奖项支持韦恩州立大学的一个REU站点，并在费米国家加速器实验室、斯坦福大学线性加速器中心和当地的韦恩州立大学提供项目机会。 REU计划主要招收当地学生，该计划从韦恩州立大学的准备阶段开始，包括在冬季为学生参与者提供一个小时的课程。该课程向学生介绍与夏季体验相关的物理，数学和计算概念。它包括计算机培训作业和道德操守部分。PI和Co-PI计划/组织学生前往FNAL和SLAC。参与者在每个站点与其他现有的REU计划合并，进行各种科学主题的社会活动和讲座。学生由博士研究人员指导，研究前沿物理主题和/或技术，以获得良好的指导质量以及他们在各自科学领域的领导力。学生必须在他们的经验结束时提交一份报告，并提供口头报告的形式。 该计划将激发学生对基础物理的兴趣，并吸引他们从事科学和工程职业。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). This award supports an REU site at Wayne State University, with project opportunities offered at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, and locally at Wayne State University. The REU program primarily recruits local students and the program starts with a preparation phase at Wayne State University involving a one-hour course given over the winter to student participants. The course introduces the students to the physical, mathematical and computational concepts relevant for the summer experience. It includes a computer training homework and an ethics component. The PI and Co-PI plan/organize the students travel to FNAL and SLAC. The participants merge with other existing REU programs at each site for social activities and lectures on various scientific topics. Students are mentored by PhD researchers working on leading edge physics topics and/or technologies chosen for good mentorship qualities as well as their leadership in their respective scientific fields. Students are required to submit a report in the form of a paper at the end of their experience and deliver oral presentations. This program will motivate the students to take interest in fundamental physics and attract them to careers in science and engineering.
