University of Michigan - CERN Research Experience for Undergraduate and High School Teacher Programs

密歇根大学安娜堡分校的本科生研究经验（REU）站点每年夏天为15名本科生提供参加位于瑞士日内瓦的欧洲核子研究组织（CERN）高能物理主题研究的机会。除了与经验丰富的导师一起参与研究外，REU的学生还将参加研讨会和讲座等活动，以了解国际科学合作的性质以及现代物理研究的问题和方法。到项目结束时，每个学生都要做一个正式的报告，报告将被录成视频并发布在欧洲核子研究中心的网站上。该项目包括一个教师研究经验（RET）网站，每年夏天，来自美国各地的五名高中教师都会接触到CERN的研究世界。老师们将用他们的经验来激励学生更好地理解物理世界，并为他们成为下一代科学家做准备。教师还与其他国家的教师分享教学方法。该REU和RET站点将产生许多更广泛的影响。美国在欧洲核子研究中心的研究项目中占有重要的股份和财政投资。因此，美国本科生和高中教师参与CERN的研究和学习机会是非常合适的。该网站有一个强有力的计划，从物理学领域代表性不足的群体中招募本科生和教师，以确保这一宝贵的国际研究经验能够被不同群体的未来物理学家和培养未来物理学家的高中教师所获得。

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor provides fifteen undergraduate students each summer the opportunity to participate in research on topics in high energy physics at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland. In addition to participating in research with an experienced mentor, the REU students will engage in activities such as seminars and lectures to learn to understand the nature of international scientific collaborations and the questions and methods of modern physics research. By the end of the program, every student will have given a formal presentation, which will be recorded on video and posted on the CERN website.This project includes a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) site, where each summer five high school teachers from across the U.S. are exposed to the world of research at CERN. The teachers will use their experience to motivate their students to better understand the physical world and prepare them to become the future generation of scientists. Teachers also share teaching methods with teachers from other countries.This REU and RET site will have a number of broader impacts. The U.S. has a significant stake and financial investment in the CERN research program. Therefore, it is very appropriate that U.S. undergraduate students and high school teachers are involved in research and learning opportunities at CERN. The site has a strong plan to recruit undergraduate students and teachers from groups underrepresented in physics to ensure that this valuable international research experience is accessible to a diverse group of future physicists and high school teachers who train future physicists.
