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体验(REU)网站。该网站每年将支持12名本科生参与加速器物理和同步辐射科学的研究项目。学生参与者可以充分利用康奈尔加速器科学和教育实验室(CLASSE)和该大学的资源，并将与经验丰富的研究人员密切合作。尽管这个REU计划的研究范围集中在理解束流和加速器的基本物理及其产生的辐射的用途上，但所使用的技术和技术适用于更广泛的科学事业。此外，每个学生都被要求参加实验室的一个外展项目，通过物理学生协会(SPS)分会和其他外展项目，教他们与公众交流科学思想，并将他们暴露在自己所在机构的外展前景中。CLASSE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。这些学生将从事一系列项目，以促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)学科中追求职业生涯的兴趣。学生们还将参加加速器物理和X射线科学的广泛主题的讲座，以及参加介绍物理研究各个前沿的特别研讨会和实践活动。学生将进一步参加在科学研究中解决社会和伦理问题的活动，并与康奈尔大学更大的REU团体一起开展活动。这些联合活动将提供一个促进未来科学家联网的环境。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in Physics at Cornell 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 outreach programs.CLASSE has an international reputation for research, with an array 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 broad topics in the accelerator physics and X-ray sciences as well as take part in special seminars and hands-on activities that introduce various frontiers of physics research. Students will further attend events addressing social and ethical issues in scientific research and conduct with the larger cohort of REU groups at Cornell University. 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.
