Nevis is located about 20 miles north of the Manhattan location of the campus of Columbia University. Research Projects Experimental high energy physics seeks to identify the most fundamental constituents of the universe around us, and to probe how these constituents interact. More information about the research opportunities, including a brief description of each of the experimental groups, is provided on the research group page . Housing will also be provided, either in Columbia University student housing on campus, or in on-site housing at the respective laboratories. In addition, return-trip travel expenses between the student's home and the lab will be covered.
Some flexibility does exist to match the requirements of individual student's schedules.
The program will begin with all students gathered at Nevis Labs for the first week. In addition to a welcoming social event, a weeklong series of lectures and tutorials will be given by the Nevis faculty and scientific staff. In addition, during this first week, students will join a particular experimental group, with whom they will work the rest of the summer. After the introductory week, students will begin working with the experimental group in question on the research they are performing. Time will be reserved during the final week for the students to write a scientific report summarizing their research project, and the progress they have made.
