The goal of this proposal is to realize the participation of Purdue University Calumet's particle physics program in collider experiments, using close-by Fermilab as a base. The PI is a particle physicist recently appointed to the faculty at Purdue University/Calumet, Indiana. The Department of Chemistry & Physics at Purdue University Calumet provides baccalaureate degrees in chemistry and physics. She has been working on the D0 and CMS experiments. An ambitious education/outreach program would form a key component of these research efforts at Calumet. This program would involve undergraduate students from several disciplines, engineers, science teachers and high school students in this research at the cutting edge of technology and frontiers of science. In this ambitious research program, students will participate in discoveries of new elementary particles and the fundamental forces of nature, as well as participate in the state-of-the art silicon technology in particle detection, combined with equally sophisticated readout electronics. Innovative techniques of radiation hard technology will enhance the life span of detectors used in outer space research and improve bio-sensing miniature devices for medical applications. Further, by training students in advanced computing techniques and their use in scientific discoveries, she will be able to disseminate the appreciation for the state-of-the-art machinery of modern science and promote the transfer of the acquired knowledge to the classroom.

该提案的目标是实现普渡大学Calumet粒子物理项目参与对撞机实验，使用附近的费米实验室作为基地。PI是一名粒子物理学家，最近被任命为印第安纳州普渡大学卡吕梅特分校的教员。普渡大学Calumet的化学和物理系提供化学和物理学士学位。她一直致力于D0和CMS实验。一项雄心勃勃的教育/推广计划将成为Calumet这些研究工作的关键组成部分。该项目将包括来自多个学科的本科生、工程师、科学教师和高中生，他们将在技术和科学的前沿进行研究。在这个雄心勃勃的研究项目中，学生们将参与发现新的基本粒子和自然的基本力量，以及参与粒子检测中最先进的硅技术，结合同样复杂的读出电子设备。辐射硬技术的创新技术将提高用于外层空间研究的探测器的寿命，改进用于医疗的生物传感微型装置。此外，通过训练学生掌握先进的计算机技术及其在科学发现中的应用，她将能够传播对现代科学最先进机器的欣赏，并促进将所学知识转移到课堂上。
