A Proposal to NSF for Research in High Energy Physics At CMS and DO Experiments

该提案的目标是实现普渡大学卡卢梅的粒子物理计划参与对撞机实验，使用附近的费米实验室作为基地。PI是一位粒子物理学家，最近被任命为印第安纳州普渡大学/卡卢梅的教员。普渡大学卡卢梅化学物理系提供化学和物理学士学位。她一直致力于D 0和CMS实验。一个雄心勃勃的教育/推广计划将构成卡卢梅这些研究工作的一个关键组成部分。该计划将涉及来自多个学科的本科生，工程师，科学教师和高中学生在技术和科学前沿的前沿这项研究。在这个雄心勃勃的研究计划中，学生将参与发现新的基本粒子和自然的基本力量，并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。抗辐射技术的创新技术将提高外层空间研究中使用的探测器的寿命，并改进用于医疗应用的微型生物传感装置。此外，通过培训学生先进的计算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，并促进将所获得的知识转移到课堂上。

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.
