REU Site: Summer Research Projects in Contemporary Physics for Women and Minorities

该奖项支持芝加哥大学物理学本科生研究经验的更新。 该奖项支持八名本科生进行为期十周的夏季研究，主题包括高能物理，宇宙射线和天体物理，广义相对论，凝聚态物理，非线性动力学和生物物理。 学生将进行前沿的物理学研究，同时与他们的不同物理学学生的队列发展强大的同伴关系。 研究项目的常规工作得到了教师对他们研究的正式介绍，以及对费米国家加速器实验室和阿贡国家实验室的实地考察。实习生将学习通过提交书面报告和口头介绍他们的工作来交流科学。该计划为学生提供接触物理的广度和统一性，并使REU学生相互接触。这创造了学生之间的同伴互动，增加了计划？的兴奋和活力。 兴奋和活力。

This award supports the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates site in Physics at the University of Chicago. The award supports eight undergraduate students for ten weeks of summer research in topics including high-energy physics, cosmic-ray and astrophysics, general relativity, condensed-matter physics, nonlinear dynamics, and biophysics. The students will conduct leading-edge physics research while developing strong peer relationships with their cohort of diverse physics students. Regular work on the research project is augmented with formal presentations from faculty members on their research, and with field trips to both Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory. The interns will learn to communicate science by submitting a written report and making an oral presentation on their work. The program provides students with exposure to the breadth and unity of physics and brings the REU students into contact with one another. This creates the peer interactions among students that increase the program?s excitement and vitality. excitement and vitality.
