This award supports a new Research Experiences for Undergraduates site in Physics at the University of California-Santa Barbara. The site will support eight students per year for nine weeks of summer research in topics including Astronomy/Astrophysics, Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, Biophysics/Physics of Living Systems, Condensed Matter Physics, Gravity, and Elementary Particle Physics. The REU is intended to be a transformative experience in the career path of the participants, particularly those from institutions with fewer research opportunities, by providing the necessary mentorship to explore their interest in Physics and develop the professional skills needed to succeed in a career in academia or industry.The project will develop research and professional skills of the next generation of academic physicists and the STEM workforce by giving undergraduates the opportunity to participate in cutting edge research, with faculty who have extensive experience in fostering undergraduate research from Freshman to Senior level students. The REU students will engage in research to explore black hole entropy, search for new Physics at the Large Hadron Collider, study the dynamics of morphogenesis, tackle the Physics of accretion disks, perform quantum simulation using ultracold quantum gases, or discover exoplanets, contributing to the creation and advancement of knowledge in a broad variety of research areas, at the same time learning the skills that transfer to a variety of STEM careers.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.

该奖项支持加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校物理学的大学生网站的新研究经验。 该站点将在夏季九周的研究中为每年八名学生提供支持，包括天文学/天体物理学，原子质，分子和光学物理学，生物系统的生物物理学/生物物理学，冷凝物质物理学，重力，重力和基本粒子物理。 The REU is intended to be a transformative experience in the career path of the participants, particularly those from institutions with fewer research opportunities, by providing the necessary mentorship to explore their interest in Physics and develop the professional skills needed to succeed in a career in academia or industry.The project will develop research and professional skills of the next generation of academic physicists and the STEM workforce by giving undergraduates the opportunity to participate in cutting edge research, with faculty who have extensive experience in从新生到高级学生培养本科研究。 REU学生将参与研究以探索黑洞熵，在大型强子对撞机上寻找新物理学，研究形态发生的动态，处理增生磁盘的物理学，使用超级量子气体进行量子模拟，或发现量子气体，或发现外部球星，为研究领域的创造和促进研究的知识，在研究方面促成各种技能，这些技能是在各种培训领域中的宣布，这些技能是一定的技能，这些技能是一定的技能。 NSF的法定使命，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来评估值得支持。
