About this opportunity

Students applying to this program have a choice of selecting to participate in one of two research components: (1) nuclear and particle physics at the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL) or (2) high-energy particle physics with the Duke High-Energy Physics (HEP) group. Students who are selected to work with the Duke High-Energy Physics program will spend about 6 weeks of the 10-week summer program at CERN. The REU students will conduct research under the supervision of professors from the TUNL consortium universities: Duke University, North Carolina Central University, a HBCU in Durham, NC, North Carolina State University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Each student is fully integrated into a research group and works closely with graduate students, postdoc
