REU Site: University of Michigan - CERN Research Experience for Undergraduates 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。该项目还支持8名高中教师参加欧洲核子研究中心为期两周的HST（高中教师）或ITW（国际教师周）计划。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。在CERN的研究和学习将为学生和教师提供无与伦比的机会来学习和研究高能物理中一些最具智力挑战性的主题。在CERN从事前沿问题研究的学生将经历一段智力学徒期，并学会理解国际科学合作的本质以及现代物理学研究的问题和方法。欧洲核子研究中心的学生项目将包括大型强子对撞机实验、其他低能和中微子实验以及欧洲核子研究中心的计算研究。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。

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. This project also supports eight high school teachers to attend a two-week HST(High School Teacher) or ITW (International Teacher Weeks) program 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. Research and study at CERN will provide unparalleled opportunities for students and teachers to learn about and work on some of the most intellectually challenging topics in high energy physics. Students working on cutting edge problems at CERN experience an intellectual apprenticeship and learn to understand the nature of international scientific collaborations and the questions and methods of modern physics research. Student projects at CERN will include experiments involving the Large Hadron Collider, other low energy and neutrino experiments, and CERN computing research.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.
