REU Site: Accelerator and Nuclear Physics

这个本科生研究经验（REU）网站每年夏天为八名本科生提供十周的研究机会，两名学生在学年期间继续获得加速器和核物理主题的研究机会。REU的学生将在托马斯·杰斐逊国家加速器设施进行研究。除了与经验丰富的导师一起参与研究之外，学生们还将参加每周的活动，不仅确保他们的研究保持在正轨上，而且确保他们有一个引人入胜的大学和学术经历。在项目结束时，每个学生都要写一份研究报告，并在演讲中展示他们的工作成果，并准备一张海报。这个REU网站将有许多更广泛的影响，其重点是为本科生提供研究机会，帮助他们为未来的科学、技术、工程和数学职业做好准备。此外，该网站还致力于为来自物理研究项目较少或没有研究项目的机构的学生提供研究机会。该网站有一个强大的计划，从物理学中代表性不足的群体中招募学生。

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Old Dominion University provides opportunities to eight undergraduate students each summer for ten weeks of research with continued opportunities for two students during the academic year on topics in accelerator and nuclear physics. The REU students will conduct the research at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. In addition to participating in research with an experienced mentor, the students will engage in weekly activities to ensure not only that their research stays on track but that they have an engaging collegial and scholarly experience. By the end of the program, every student will have written a research report and presented the results of their work in a talk, as well as prepared a poster. This REU site will have a number of broader impacts with its focus on providing research opportunities to undergraduates to help prepare them for future science, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers. Additionally, the site focuses on providing research opportunities to students from institutions with small or no research programs in physics. The site has a strong plan to recruit students from groups underrepresented in physics.
