项目摘要

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Brigham Young University hosts a 10-week summer research program for undergraduates (REU) from early June to mid-August for 11 undergraduate students who are interested in working on physics and astronomy research projects with professors in the department. These students will join a large number of BYU students for a summer of research coupled with social and outdoor activities in the Rocky Mountains of Utah. Research areas include computational and experimental plasma physics, high-power laser physics, x-ray and extreme ultraviolet sources and optics, observational astronomy, acoustics, nanotechnology, experimental and computational condensed matter physics, the manipulation of atoms with lasers, and solar energy. Women students, underrepresented minorities, and students with disabilities are especially encouraged to apply. The participants will receive a stipend, living expenses, and paid travel to and from Provo, Utah. Students will experience the excitement of research in physics as they work closely with faculty mentors. Participants will also receive training in computation, vacuum techniques, electronics, laser diagnostics, etc., and will also have an opportunity to develop their presentation skills as they report on their work to other students involved in summer research at BYU. Funds are also available to pay for selected students present their work at national and regional conferences in the following year.

杨百翰大学物理与天文学系于6月初至8月中旬为11名有兴趣与该系教授一起从事物理和天文学研究项目的本科生举办为期10周的本科生暑期研究计划（REU）。这些学生将与大量杨百翰大学学生一起在犹他州落基山脉进行一个夏季研究以及社交和户外活动。研究领域包括计算和实验等离子体物理、高功率激光物理、X射线和极紫外源和光学、观测天文学、声学、纳米技术、实验和计算凝聚态物理、用激光操纵原子和太阳能。特别鼓励女学生、代表性不足的少数族裔和残疾学生申请。参与者将获得津贴、生活费以及往返犹他州普罗沃的付费旅费。当学生与教师导师密切合作时，他们将体验物理学研究的兴奋。参与者还将接受计算、真空技术、电子、激光诊断等方面的培训，并且在向参与杨百翰大学夏季研究的其他学生报告自己的工作时，还将有机会发展他们的演讲技巧。还可以为选定的学生在次年的国家和地区会议上展示他们的作品提供资金。
