  1. Welcome Lee Teng Interns and Mentors Eric Prebys, FNAL Seletion Committee Chair

  2. First Annual Lee Teng Summer Internship • Joint Argonne/Fermilab Venture • Patterned after existing internships, but focused on accelerator physics • Under auspices of virtual “Illinois Accelerator Institute” (also new) • ~5 students at each lab • Joint selection process, after which program administered separately at the two labs • Nominally June 2-August 8, to match SULI/IPM • June 16-June 27 spend at the USPS (U. of Maryland) • Student works closely with a mentor on a predetermined project involving accelerator physics or related technology • Eligible • Physics, Math, Engineering, or Computer Science majors at U.S. Universities (not necessarily U.S. citizens) • Juniors or outstanding Sophomores

  3. Creation of the internship • ~Nov. 28, 2007 • Eric hears about internship and agrees to chair “selection committee” • Then learns there is no logo, website, posters, flyers, application, etc • Dec. 4, 2007 • First joint meeting, at Argonne • Dec. 14, 2007 • Go live! • Website • Online application • Poster • Flyer • Wikipedia article on Lee Teng • February 15, 2008 • Application deadline • Postponed from original 2/8/08 deadline (on posters) to match IPM

  4. Players • Selection Committee • Eric Prebys, FNAL (Chair) • William Barletta, MIT and USPAS • Eric Norum, ANL • Peter Ostroumov, ANL • Alving Tollestrup, FNAL • Also involved in creating internship • Rod Gerig, ANL • Vladimir Shiltsev, FNAL • Harold Myron, ANL • Kathy Harkay, ANL • Jean Slaughter, FNAL • Plus…

  5. Special Thanks • Anita Alamillo, ANL • Web site • Diana Canzone, FNAL • Poster, flyer, logo • Carol Angarola, FNAL • Managed application materials, handling transportation/housing at FNAL • Liz Quigg, FNAL • Set up online application on very short notice • Linda Spentzouris, IIT • Managed mentor assignments at ANL • Susan Winchester, FNAL • Coordinating USPAS end of things • Lisa Reed, ANL • Coordination of Argonne program

  6. The students • Gender: • 10 Male • 1 Female • Class: • 10 Junior • 1 Sophomore • Region: • 5 Illinois Schools • Furthest West: UCLA • Furthest East: Yale • Citizenship • 8 US • 3 other

  7. Some comments about the program • Accelerator science is a very exciting field • High energy physics • Nuclear physics • Light sources • Spallation neutron sources • Medical applications • Hadron therapy • Isotope production • Food sterilization • Industrial applications • This program is an excellent opportunity • Real world experience • USPAS! • Good step toward graduate school

  8. About this summer • Make the most of it • Lots of opportunities to talk to scientists, graduate students and fellow undergrads • Lots of opportunities for fun (but keep it legal) • Later in the summer • We’ll have another joint session at Argonne near the end, where students present a summary of their work (still working out the details) • Possibly other joint activities • Let us know how it goes • This is the first year and we’re looking for ways to improve things!

  9. Three reasons It’s challenging It’s important It’s fun! Lee Teng Internship - Shiltsev

  10. In big science now - find yourself Lee Teng Internship - Shiltsev

  11. Our message to LTIs: 7 Steps You have fun this summer and become interested in beams and accelerators You stay in touch in the next year You decide to make PhD in accelerators physics and –with your Prof. – join Accelerator PhD program You get your PhD in beam physics You finally understand how things work… You invent big things – e.g. how to generate ONE superhigh energy particle with 1e20 eV on earth You get Nobel Prize in Physics We support all that (moral, organizationally, $$) Lee Teng Internship - Shiltsev

  12. Be an inventor – join us! Lee Teng Internship - Shiltsev
