The objectives of Purdue University Calumet's high energy physics program are to maintain its active participation in the Forward Pixel Detector subsystem for CMS and to continue its activities in important physics tasks undertaken by the group at the LHC Physics Center (LPC) at Fermilab. The program of effort includes coordination of the Forward Pixel detector operation and the establishment of stable mode data-taking and tracker validation for this subsystem at 8TeV beam energy at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, using the Remote Operations Center (ROC) also located at Fermilab. In parallel with this operations effort, the group, as part of the upgrade effort, will continue to develop the forward pixel geometry for the CMS Forward Pixel Upgrade and, as the details are finalized, will incorporate the new geometry into the framework of CMS tracking software. In the area of physics analysis, the group is working on essential aspects of simulation studies in the b-tagging group at LPC and CMS, and on physics analyses in W decays and W production.The Group has a very strong commitment to undergraduate education and research, and the campus is strategically located in northwest Indiana, thereby impacting a broad range of students, particularly from underserved communities. The Principal investigator serves as outreach coordinator for the Purdue University Calumet Physics Department. Hers is the largest research group in the Department and, correspondingly, has the largest number of students working on research projects. Additionally the group has built strong connections with teachers in northwest Indiana region and is in the process of starting at QuarkNet Center.

普渡大学Calumet的高能物理计划的目标是保持其积极参与CMS的正向像素探测器子系统，并继续其在费米实验室LHC物理中心(LPC)承担的重要物理任务中的活动。工作计划包括协调正向像素探测器的操作，并利用同样位于费米实验室的远程操作中心(ROC)，在CERN大型强子对撞机上为这一子系统在8TeV束流能量下建立稳定模式数据获取和跟踪器验证。在这项业务工作的同时，作为升级工作的一部分，该小组将继续为CMS正向像素升级开发正向像素几何图形，并在细节敲定后，将新的几何图形纳入CMS跟踪软件的框架。在物理分析领域，该小组正致力于LPC和CMS的b标记小组的模拟研究的基本方面，以及W衰变和W生产的物理分析。该小组对本科教育和研究有着非常坚定的承诺，校园位于印第安纳州西北部，因此影响了广泛的学生，特别是来自服务不足的社区的学生。首席研究员担任普渡大学Calumet物理系的外展协调员。她的研究小组是系里最大的研究小组，相应地，也是从事研究项目的学生人数最多的小组。此外，该小组与印第安纳州西北部地区的教师建立了牢固的联系，并正在QuarkNet中心开始工作。
