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) 和杜克大学的本科生研究经验 (REU) 物理学网站。 TUNL 是一个由北卡罗莱纳三角地区三所主要大学杜克大学、北卡罗莱纳州立大学和北卡罗莱纳大学教堂山分校组成的研究联盟。 该奖项将支持 12 名本科生进行为期十周的夏季核物理和粒子物理主题研究。 八名学生将在 TUNL 进行研究，另外四名学生将在欧洲核子研究中心度过暑假的一部分，与杜克大学高能物理小组合作。 每个学生都会被分配一名导师，并被纳入一个由教师、博士后、研究生和其他本科生组成的研究小组。 此外，学生还有机会参观联盟大学的物理系，了解这些机构的研究生课程并了解每个系所从事的研究范围。通过积极的研究、研讨会、实验室参观和讨论小组，学生们接触到核和粒子物理研究的各个方面及其与其他科学领域的联系。讲座和研讨会主题的选择分别是为了强调 TUNL 和 CERN 的核物理和粒子物理研究活动。学生将有机会与世界著名的物理学家互动，了解该领域最先进的理论概念，并使用这些研究领域中使用的最先进的技术。此外，科学写作和口头报告方面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 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
