The Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) at the University of Rochester holds an annual summer research program for high school students who have just completed their junior year. The eight-week program provides an exceptional opportunity for highly motivated students to experience scientific research in a realistic environment. Students who are accepted into the program are assigned to a research project and supervised by a staff scientist at the Laboratory. These projects form an integral part of the research program of the Laboratory and are related to the Laboratory’s 60-beam OMEGA laser, the world’s most powerful fusion laser, and the OMEGA EP laser, currently under construction.
At the end of the program, the students present the results of their projects at a symposium in the Laboratory. The students also produce written project reports. The students will work 40-hour weeks and are paid. The program is a commuter program and no provision is made for student housing during the summer.
The reports for each year are available below.
