REU Site: Accelerator Physics and Synchrotron Radiation Science

该奖项支持康奈尔大学物理学本科生研究经验（REU）网站。 该网站将支持每年在加速器物理学和同步辐射科学的研究项目12名本科生。 学生参与者可以充分利用康奈尔大学加速器科学与教育实验室（CLASSE）和大学的资源，并将与经验丰富的研究人员密切合作。虽然该REU计划的研究范围集中在了解光束和加速器的基本物理学以及它们产生的辐射的使用，但所使用的技术和技术适用于更广泛的科学职业。此外，每个学生都被要求参加实验室的一个推广项目，通过物理学生协会（SPS）分会和其他渠道，教他们与公众交流科学思想，并让他们接触到他们所在机构的推广前景。康奈尔实验室在研究方面享有国际声誉，拥有一系列项目，包括加速器物理，同步辐射研究和微波超导。学生们将从事一系列项目，推进实验室的科学使命，促进他们的教育和培训，并提高他们在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科追求事业的兴趣。学生还将参加有关加速器物理学和X射线科学的广泛主题的讲座;参加讲座和实践活动，介绍物理学研究的各种前沿与校园内更大的REU团体;并参加解决科学研究和行为中的社会和道德问题的活动。 这些联合活动将提供一个环境，促进未来科学家的网络。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

This award supports the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in Physics at Cornel University. The site will support twelve undergraduate students per year in research projects in accelerator physics and synchrotron radiation science. The student participants have full access to the resources of the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education (CLASSE) and the University, and will work closely with experienced researchers. Although the research scope of this REU program is focused on understanding the fundamental physics of beams and accelerators and the uses of the radiation they produce, the techniques and technologies utilized are applicable to a much wider range of scientific careers. In addition, each student is asked to participate in one of the outreach programs at the Laboratory, teaching them to communicate the scientific ideas with the public and exposing them to the outreach prospects at their home institutions, through the Society of Physics Students (SPS) chapters and other outlets.The Cornell Laboratory has an international reputation for research, with a constellation of programs including accelerator physics, synchrotron radiation research, and microwave superconductivity. The students will work on a range of projects that advance the Laboratory's scientific mission, further their education and training, and heighten their interest in pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Students will also attend lectures on wide topics in the accelerator physics and X-ray sciences; take part in talks and hands-on activities that introduce various frontiers of physics research with the larger group of REU groups on campus; and attend events addressing social and ethical issues in scientific research and conduct. These joint activities will provide an environment that fosters networking of the future scientists.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
