博彩平台物理系的学生将与劳伦斯利弗莫尔国家实验室的科学家们进行一项由联邦能源部资助的新合作研究。

四名萨克州立大学的本科生本学期将在校园接受培训，然后在阿拉米达县的劳伦斯利弗莫尔（Lawrence Livermore）开始暑期实习。 实习结束后，他们将回到校园，完善他们所学到的技能。

该项目由一项为期两年的80万美元拨款资助，明年将有四名萨克州立大学的学生参加。 科罗拉多州立大学东湾分校的学生也将参与其中，所有参与的学者都将获得工作和费用津贴。

利用包括计算机模拟在内的先进设备，学生们将与从事核科学与技术工作的导师配对。

能源部项目是Sac州立物理和国家实验室之间的第一个正式合作伙伴关系，为学生提供宝贵的研究经验，这将增强他们的信心，帮助他们完善自己的职业道路。

“At a national laboratory, they will get experience that they can’t really get anywhere else,” said Professor of Physics Christopher Hodges, who, along with fellow Physics faculty Rodolfo Barnio Duran and Michael Ray, is spearheading the project. “Conducting research at any national laboratory is a pretty big deal.”

巴尼奥尔·杜兰说，萨克州立大学希望利用实习机会与劳伦斯·利弗莫尔建立持续的合作关系。

“We would love to establish a working relationship with them,” he said. “It also would be great if some of our students could be hired there full time.”

The “bookend” approach to the project will allow students to learn more about their Livermore mentors’ research and “hit the ground running” when they arrive at the laboratory, said Ray. “When they return in the fall, they will be able to keep working on their projects here on campus.”

The Livermore internship will give undergraduate Physics students a chance “to learn firsthand what it really means to do research,” said Barniol Duran. “They will be working independently and will have the opportunity to be creative.”

教授们说，这项工作可能有助于开发能够承受极低温度的传感器，并在核物理研究实验室中进行非常精确的测量。

物理知识可以转化为广泛的职业，包括高中和大学教学，工程和公共机构或私营公司的卫生或能源领域的工作。

研究人员说，利弗莫尔项目只关注学生的成功，并帮助学者在未来的职业生涯中取得成功。

“It’s all about supporting students, and showing them how much fun physics can be,” Hodges said.
