This award supports the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates site in Physics at the University of Chicago. The award supports eight undergraduate students for ten weeks of summer research in topics including high-energy physics, cosmic-ray and astrophysics, general relativity, condensed-matter physics, nonlinear dynamics, and biophysics. The students will conduct leading-edge physics research while developing strong peer relationships with their cohort of diverse physics students. Regular work on the research project is augmented with formal presentations from faculty members on their research, and with field trips to both Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory. The interns will learn to communicate science by submitting a written report and making an oral presentation on their work. The program provides students with exposure to the breadth and unity of physics and brings the REU students into contact with one another. This creates the peer interactions among students that increase the program?s excitement and vitality. excitement and vitality.

该奖项支持芝加哥大学物理学本科生研究经验网站的更新。 该奖项资助八名本科生进行为期十周的暑期研究，研究主题包括高能物理、宇宙射线和天体物理学、广义相对论、凝聚态物理、非线性动力学和生物物理学。 学生们将进行前沿的物理研究，同时与不同的物理学生群体建立牢固的同伴关系。 研究项目的常规工作通过教职员工关于其研究的正式演示以及对费米国家加速器实验室和阿贡国家实验室的实地考察而得到加强。实习生将通过提交书面报告和口头介绍他们的工作来学习如何传播科学。该项目让学生接触到物理学的广度和统一性，并让 REU 的学生相互接触。这创造了学生之间的同伴互动，增加了项目的兴奋度和活力。 兴奋和活力。
