Chapter 175: Interview with Nature Weekly
It's boring to stay in a hotel every day and wait for the results, and after the nuclear research conference, ENN doesn't have so many high-quality lectures to listen to.
It was really a pain in idleness, so Lu Zhou went to nearby Geneva to play around, took pictures in front of various tourist attractions, and bought those things on the shopping list by the way.
Arrived at the hotel with the loot, Lu Zhou took a photo and posted it to Moments, then turned around and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Maybe I saw this circle of friends, or maybe I was in a hurry to wait for the purchasing agent, Lu Zhou just came out of the shower and was about to go to bed, and Shi Shang's WeChat phone floated across the ocean to greet him.
The first thing I said was
"Elbow, when are you coming?"
Sitting under the air conditioner and wiping his hair, Lu Zhou thought about it and said casually: "It depends on the situation, I'll come here when the experimental results come out." What else do you want to tell me, anyway, I'm bored these days, and I'm wandering around. ”
Shi Shang: "Traveling at public expense? Envious. ”
Traveling at public expense?
That said, it seems to be true.
Lu Zhou carefully recalled that he had set foot on the territory of the Europeans for so long, and he had not spent a penny of his money until now.
Shi Shang: "Well, if you're a school, just put the things you bought on my desk, don't send them to my home, I don't have a place to put them." ”
Lu Zhou: "Okay, I should be directly at school by then, is there anything else?" ”
Shi Shang shook his head: "It's okay, right, why didn't I see you on the scarf?" ”
Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "No, I remember that the photos I took were all thrown around my neck." ”
Shi Shang: "No, I mean, I didn't see you pretending. ”
Lu Zhou: ""
MMP, what do you mean you didn't see me pretending to be forced.
This serious tone makes it seem as if I am deliberately trying to pretend to be forced every time.
Lu Zhou hung up the phone speechlessly and threw the phone to the side of the pillow.
Looking at the calendar, which was almost at the end of the month, he sighed.
I don't know when this experiment will have to go.
Let's hope he's right.
Otherwise, even if no one would blame him, he would feel a little unhappy in his heart.
Lu Zhou originally thought that he would have to wait for at least another month to see the results, and he was even ready to change some euros.
As a result, I didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.
The first person to tell him the news was Professor Grell, who was in charge of monitoring the data from the Atlas detector.
On the phone, Professor Greer didn't say much, just asked him to go to the office upstairs.
And after entering the office, Lu Zhou's first words were
"How did it turn out!"
"Your conjecture is right," in response to Lu Zhou's expectation, put a few pieces of printer paper on the table, Professor Grell still looked incredulous, and said in an emotional tone, "The results of the experiment are quite optimistic, we observed the characteristic peak you predicted on MS and Atlas at the same time, and many people are quite surprised by this result." ”
Breathing a sigh of relief, Lu Zhou felt a sense of dust in his heart.
Although Ern's work is far from settled, and the search for this signal has only just begun, his work is already over for him to draw this treasure map.
Looking at Lu Zhou with a relieved expression, Professor Grell paused for a moment and continued, "Although we can't be sure what exactly is there, seeing this result, we can be sure that something should exist there. ”
Putting away the printing paper on the table, Lu Zhou glanced at it twice, and said casually, "I wish you can find that thing, if you find it, please be sure to tell me." ”
Professor Grell asked, "Do you want a country?" ”
"Yes," Lu Zhou nodded, and said with a smile, "I've waited for the result I wanted, and my room fee is almost due." ”
Although it was curious to know what that signal was, this experiment would be much longer than looking for the characteristic peak of 750 GEV, and he couldn't have waited here for a year or two for this experiment.
And, if he guessed correctly, by this point, the system task should have been completed.
He plans to claim the reward and see what the new mission is.
"Can I ask you to do me a little favor before I go abroad? It won't take long, just three days," said Professor Greer, "and I can pay for the hotel room for you." ”
Lu Zhou: "What's the busy?" ”
"An interview about Nature Weekly," Professor Greer said with a smile, "I have a friend who works there as an editor, and although he is not an expert in physics, he knows a little bit about the field of high-energy physics. When he learned about you, he was even more surprised than me, and he wanted to interview you anyway because he was going to come to ENN to do a show. He's on a plane from London to Geneva on August 2, so can you please stay in Switzerland for two more days? ”
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Of course you can." ”
Although he did not really want to be interviewed by the media, he would still listen to Professor Greer's request.
After all, the professor has always taken good care of him, and the reason why he was able to catch the clues of 750GEV was also thanks to his help.
And it's not much of a hassle.
After the nuclear research conference in early July, ERN eagerly announced the discovery of the five-quark state particle P+, which, as many expected, became the most eye-catching research in physics this year.
Of course, in addition to the expected results, there are also some unexpected things that come into people's eyes.
For example, in the characteristic peak that appears at 750 GEV.
Yes, this time it was "appeared".
According to Lu Zhou's prediction at the briefing, ERN restarted the collision experiment and adjusted the collision energy of the particle beam to 1 tEV.
And the end result, just like the performance of the upgraded LH, is quite amazing.
When the sample size accumulates to a certain point, as predicted in the probabilistic model presented at the presentation, there is a characteristic peak in the energy region of 750 GEV that cannot be explained by quantum chromodynamics.
Some speculate that this is the signal released when a heavier particle decays, others speculate that it is a two-photon signal generated by the gluon polymerization reaction, and others speculate that this is the last piece of the puzzle supersymmetric particle on the Standard Model that the theoretical physics community has been searching for for many years.
Of course, there are also pessimistic attitudes, which may just be quantum fluctuations, even though researchers at ENN have observed this phenomenon on both Atlas and MS detectors.
As a result of this discovery, hundreds of papers explaining this characteristic peak appeared in ARXIV in less than a month, and the number of submissions to major journals of high-energy physics more than doubled.
Many physicists, both well-known and unknown, have made bold speculations about the information behind this characteristic peak.
No way, these theoretical physicists have been holding back for too long.
High-energy physics is not like condensed matter physics, and people's observation methods can never keep up with the speed of theoretical progress. The Standard Model, on the other hand, defines almost everything that people can see, even invisible, in their field of vision.
So much so that many PhDs who are engaged in high-energy physics research can't even find a point where they can write a paper.
And now, the characteristic peak of 750GEV not only provides these people with a chance to graduate, but also puts a glittering Nobel Prize in front of them.
What if the water comes out with a Nobel Prize?
It's all bad stuff.
After all, even the collider does not know what exactly the signal of the 750GEV means
Theoretical physics aside, the focus of the media and the public is in another place.
For the uninitiated, this is simply more surprising than the five-quark particle.
Because
Report this finding.
It turned out to be an intern!
