项目摘要

This award supports the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in physics at the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL) and Duke University. TUNL is a research consortium consisting of three major universities in the North Carolina Triangle Area, Duke University, North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The award will support twelve undergraduates for ten weeks of summer research on topics in nuclear and particle physics. Eight students will conduct research at TUNL, and the other four will spend part of their summer at CERN working with the Duke high-energy physics group. Each student is assigned a faculty mentor and is integrated into a research group consisting of faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and other undergraduate students. In addition, the students have opportunities to visit the physics departments at the consortium universities to learn about the graduate programs at these institutions and to see the scope of research pursued in each department.Through active research, seminars, lab tours, and discussion groups, the students are exposed to various aspects of nuclear and particle physics research and their connections to other science areas. Lecture and seminar topics are chosen to emphasize the nuclear and particle physics research activities at TUNL and CERN, respectively. The students will have opportunities to interact with world-renowned physicists, learn about the most advanced theoretical concepts in the fields, and work with state-of-the-art technologies used in these research areas. Also, professional development activities in scientific writing and oral presentations constitute an important component of the REU program.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.

该奖项支持三角大学核实验室（TUNL）和杜克大学物理学本科生（REU）地点的研究经验。 Tunl是一个研究财团，由北卡罗来纳州三角地区，杜克大学，北卡罗来纳州立大学和北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校组成。该奖项将支持十二名本科生，涉及核和粒子物理学主题的十周夏季研究。八名学生将在Tunl进行研究，其他四个学生将在CERN与Duke Highergy Physics Group合作。每个学生都被任命为教师导师，并被融入一个由教职员工，博士后，研究生和其他本科生组成的研究小组。此外，学生有机会参观财团大学的物理系，以了解这些机构的研究生课程，并看到每个部门的研究范围。通过积极的研究，研讨会，实验室旅行和讨论小组，学生将暴露于核和物理学研究的各个方面及其与其他科学领域的联系。选择讲座和研讨会主题分别强调Tunl和Cern的核和粒子物理研究活动。学生将有机会与世界知名的物理学家互动，了解领域中最先进的理论概念，并与这些研究领域使用的最先进技术合作。此外，科学写作和口头演讲中的专业发展活动构成了REU计划的重要组成部分。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评估标准通过评估来支持的。
