Chapter 164 Plagiarized?
In the meeting, Qi Xishao looked at Xu Chuan in surprise, and even forgot that an acceptance report meeting was being held.
He seriously doubted whether he had just heard wrong.
Did he really find the most ideal decay channel for the Yukawa coupling of Higgs and third-generation heavy quarks through mathematics?
Is this possible?
Theoretically, it is indeed possible.
But in reality, he has worked at CERN for many years, but he has never heard of any laboratory, university or physicist who has achieved results in this regard.
This is enough to prove the difficulty of this road.
Xu Chuan did not care about Qi Xishao's gaze. This is the purpose of his learning mathematics.
Using mathematics to assist himself in physics, materials and other fields is his original intention and what he has been doing.
Yawning, he shook his head and replied, "I haven't figured it out yet, but I went to Professor David Gross a few days ago and talked to him. We found a path that should be feasible. I am currently calculating it."
"I haven't figured it out yet, but I found a path that should be feasible."
Xu Chuan shook his head and replied. It's true that he hasn't figured it out yet, but it should be soon. He has a hunch that the breakthrough he got from David Gross is correct.
The mentor's press conference is still going on, but he is a little sleepy now.
These days he has been staying up late to analyze and calculate, and he sleeps no more than six hours a day, all thanks to Red Bull and the spirit of wanting to calculate the data directly.
This will be interrupted, and the heating in the venue is full, and the sleepiness in the body is unstoppable.
If he wasn't sitting in the first row, next to the camera, and he might need to go on stage to explain later, he would probably have fallen asleep on the chair.
"Professor Gross? Do you know the chairman of CERN?" Hearing Xu Chuan's reply, Qi Xishao looked at him enviously.
Although he is a formal researcher at CERN, he has not met Professor David Gross very often.
An ordinary researcher is far from the level of the chairman of a large global organization like CERN.
Xu Chuan yawned again and replied lightly: "I found my mentor Witten, who recommended me."
"I almost forgot that you have this relationship. In this way, Professor Gross is still your master."
Qi Xishao patted his head. He was so envious of Xu Chuan for getting the guidance of Professor Gross that he almost forgot that they were of the same lineage.
With the guidance of Professor Gross, it is indeed possible to find the most ideal search decay channel for the Higgs and the third-generation heavy quark Yukawa coupling through mathematics.
After all, this is a Nobel Prize winner in physics.
I envy him so much, why doesn't he have such an opportunity?
However, what Qi Xishao didn't know was that Professor Gross did nothing except give a suggestion.
The entire calculation process, method, and data analysis were all completed by Xu Chuan himself.
Of course, this does not mean that this suggestion is not important. It does play a key role in enlightenment.
If there is no such suggestion, it is unknown how long it would take Xu Chuan to think of using the soft gluon resummation effect calculation of the transverse momentum distribution to make a breakthrough.
He did stand at the top of the physics world in his previous life, but it does not mean that he can solve all problems by himself.
Compared with those systematic protagonists in novels, he is just an ordinary person.
When facing a brand new problem, you can only rely on the knowledge and experience in your mind to make an analysis breakthrough, and you can't use external plug-ins to find a breakthrough directly.
The acceptance report will go smoothly and it will be completed in more than half an hour.
Xu Chuan was ready to explain on stage, but he didn't expect that other physicists in the auditorium didn't ask any questions at all.
After saying hello to his tutor, Xu Chuan returned to the hotel and fell directly on the bed without taking a shower.
This sleep, from four in the afternoon to more than three in the morning, more than ten hours of sleep finally made up for his energy consumption in the past few days.
After getting up from the bed and taking a shower to refresh himself, Xu Chuan sat back at the table with a bag of yogurt in his mouth.
In Europe, dairy products such as milk, yogurt, butter, and cheese are very common here, but Xu Chuan doesn't like milk very much. He always feels that there is a faint smell in it.
Fragrance? Fishy smell? Xu Chuan couldn't tell what it smelled like, but there was indeed a smell that he didn't like very much.
As for yogurt, this smell disappeared after fermentation, and some white sugar, honey, jam and other additives were added to make it taste better.
On the glass table, the calculations that were not completed yesterday were placed messily on it. The manuscripts were filled with dense mathematical and physical symbols, and the formulas connected them together to point to the final answer.
Holding the yogurt in his mouth, Xu Chuan picked up the ballpoint pen on the table and began to continue the work that was not completed yesterday.
". Derived from the Lund string breaking function, assuming that □ has □ reached □ point from the light □ forward."
"□ The probability of producing a hadron is f(z+)dz+"
"Probability □: H(Γ)dΓyf(z+)dz+"
"."
"When □□□ of infinite energy breaks n times, the distribution of n particles □ is: "
“dP(z, s; P.Pn) = ds*dz/z(1-z)αexp(-bΓ)*δ(1-∑n|j
=1*m/uj).”
“.”
At the desk, Xu Chuan slid the ballpoint pen in his hand, splitting the data from the Dalitz diagram one by one and integrating them with mathematics.
And tried to find a corresponding functional relationship to determine the Yukawa coupling distribution of Higgs and the third-generation heavy quarks (top quark t and bottom quark b).
This is a very tedious task, which requires the perfect integration of mathematical knowledge and physical knowledge to establish a new method.
But Xu Chuan enjoyed it.
Because this is a new improvement for him, he has not had a new breakthrough in the physics world for a long time.
But today he felt this pleasure again.
The complete combination of mathematics and physics has once again expanded the boundaries that could not be broken before, which also made Xu Chuan more convinced that the path he chose after his rebirth was right.
The Daritz diagram on the computer kept flipping as the calculations were performed, and the collision data was analyzed one by one and then substituted into the mathematical formula.
Now that a breakthrough has been found, the remaining calculations are no longer impossible for him now.
From the calculation of the soft gluon resummation effect of the transverse momentum distribution, it goes back to quantum chromodynamics, and then gives an energy level upper limit to the coupled decay of the Higgs particle through quark confinement.
Step by step, Xu Chuan used the data in his hand to unravel the mystery and use mathematics to find the most ideal search decay channel for the Yukawa coupling of the Higgs and the third-generation heavy quarks.
I don't know how long it has been, when the pen in my hand was put down again, the two sets of data on the manuscript paper quietly emerged from the water.
[The Schrdinger equation is. The corresponding energy eigenvalue is Ea=(n+1/2)a, the H→bb-bar decay energy level is 128Gev~131Gev, H→bb (μvBF=3.0^+1.7~-1.6). 】
Staring at these two sets of data, Xu Chuan's eyes revealed a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
He calculated it.
He calculated the most ideal decay channel for the Yukawa coupling between Higgs and the third generation of heavy quarks.
Although there has been no collision experiment to verify whether these two sets of data are correct, theoretically, these two sets of data cannot be wrong.
For a physical experiment, especially a high-energy collision experiment launched by a large particle collider, there are too many things that can deceive people's eyes.
But for mathematics, as long as the calculation is correct, the answer must be correct.
At least, Xu Chuan is very confident in his calculation process.
The rest is to wait for LHC to verify.
In the room, Xu Chuan sorted out the manuscript on the table, entered the calculation process and method into the computer, and converted it into PDF and PPT projection files for saving.
He calculated the most ideal decay channel for the Yukawa coupling between Higgs and the third generation of heavy quarks, but this is not enough. He also needs the help of CERN and needs to use LHC to verify his data.
If the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between Higgs and the third generation of heavy quarks can be successfully discovered according to the calculation results, it can prove that he is right.
As for now, this is just a theory.
After dealing with these, Xu Chuan sent emails to his mentor Chen Zhengping, Witten and CERN's president David Gross.
This analysis and calculation is based on Chen Zhengping's experimental data, so he naturally has the right to know.
And sending emails to Professors Witten and Gross requires their help.
At CERN, you need to apply for LHC collision experiments in advance. For example, for the collision experiment in the second half of this year, you must submit an application to CERN at least in the first half of the year, and it will be arranged after the review is passed.
This is the basis for CERN's operation.
After all, CERN is a large-scale cooperative organization with funds from various countries. The arrangement of collision experiments is a top priority, and there are many things to consider.
The use of LHC is no different from other experimental equipment at CERN. It is the largest and most important large particle collider in the world today.
There are countless ideas and theories in the high-energy physics community, but there is only one LHC, and the theories that can be verified are limited, so the annual collision arrangement must be discussed in advance and debated for a long time.
If you want to jump the queue, you need to apply for a report meeting at CERN, and then report your theory at the report meeting.
If the CERN board of directors thinks your report is important enough, they may discuss postponing a subsequent collision experiment to arrange one for you.
Apart from this, there is almost no other way.
After processing the data in his hand, Xu Chuan got up and went downstairs to buy some food.
But at this moment, his cell phone rang.
Xu Chuan took out his cell phone and the person who called him was an unexpected name.
"Hello, Brother Hu."
Xu Chuan answered the phone and said hello.
The person who called him was Hu Xingjian, a graduate student of Sun Moon University and a disciple of Academician Zhang Weiping, whom he had met at the Morning Star Mathematics Award ceremony last time.
"Chuan Shen, I didn't expect you to still remember me."
On the other end of the phone, Hu Xingjian's voice was a little surprised, as if he was surprised that Xu Chuan still remembered him.
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"It's like this, Chuan Shen, have you been paying attention to "Advances in Mathematics" recently?" Hu Xingjian asked on the phone.
Xu Chuan shook his head and asked curiously, "No, what's wrong, is there any new progress in the mathematics community?"
It's no wonder he asked this question. After all, the only thing related to mathematics journals is mathematical achievements.
However, he has been studying physics at CERN in recent months and has not paid much attention to the mathematics community.
In addition, "Advances in Mathematics" is a domestic mathematics journal. Although it ranks among the top three in China, it is not very important in the international arena. The papers posted on it are of average importance, so he didn't pay much attention to it and didn't even open the other party's message notification.
It is an inevitable fact that top journals are basically controlled by Western countries.
"Then I'll send you a link, you can take a look first." Hu Xingjian didn't say anything directly, but sent a link through the software.
Xu Chuan curiously clicked on the link and looked at the content.
[Another new major achievement in the history of Chinese mathematics; Peking University professor Mo Kun proved the non-zero hypothesis of Rankin-Selberg L-function! Or it will greatly promote the breakthrough of Langlands program. 】
The title is a typical marketing style, but the content surprised Xu Chuan.
Rankin-Selberg L-function non-zero hypothesis proved?
This is a core problem in the L-function problem under Langlands program.
He had talked about this with Brazilian mathematics professor Avila Artur before, and he studied with Professor Deligne at Princeton some time ago, so he had some understanding of the problems in Langlands program.
This hypothesis was first proposed in the 1970s. After the hypothesis was proposed, many important results about the special values of L-functions were obtained on the basis of the non-zero hypothesis.
But how to prove this hypothesis, no one has ever given a clear answer.
The reviewer of the Journal of the American Mathematical Society once pointed out that the non-zero hypothesis is "a fundamental difficulty in all work" in this direction, which shows the difficulty of this problem.
But the name Mo Kun is a little familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere?
Staring at the name in the title, Xu Chuan felt a little familiar.
After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered.
"Mo Kun, isn't this the math professor from Peking University whom I met at the Morning Star Mathematics Award ceremony? We discussed this together."
"You can't judge a person by his appearance. If he remembers correctly, Professor Mo from Peking University looks at least fifty years old, right?"
Xu Chuan sighed. Although fifty years old is not considered old, he is still diligent in studying mathematics at this age. This spirit is really admirable.
Thinking about it, Xu Chuan sat back in front of the computer.
Although he did not subscribe to "Progress in Mathematics", "Progress in Mathematics" has a website where published papers are published.
If Professor Mo's paper proving the non-zero hypothesis of the Rankin-Selberg L-function has been published, he can find it there.
Sure enough, after connecting to the Peking University mathematics journal website through the tool, Xu Chuan saw the paper on the homepage.
[Proof of the non-zero hypothesis of the Rankin-Selberg L-function. ]
Downloaded the paper through the PDF tool, Xu Chuan clicked on the paper and prepared to read it.
After all, the Rankin-Selberg L-function non-zero hypothesis is quite important in the Langlands program, and it is related to the field of L-function special value research.
However, as he read through the paper, Xu Chuan's expression gradually became strange.
The core tool of this paper seems to be the argument he and Professor Arthur Avila made in May.
Although some things have been slightly changed, the core ideas and calculation process have hardly changed.
It's just that he and Professor Arthur Avila were studying in the direction of the new Mersenne conjecture at that time, and here, it seems that Professor Mo applied it to the proof of the non-zero hypothesis of L-function.
But no matter what, it is certain that Professor Mo directly "borrowed" the results of him and Professor Arthur Avila.
Not only the core ideas, but also the calculation methods and some calculation data were directly copied.
And he hasn't said hello to him and Professor Arthur Avila yet. Isn't this a bit unkind?
Xu Chuan was almost certain that Professor Mo had not said hello to Professor Artur Avila. If he had, Artur Avila would definitely contact him.
After all, this was a joint research between the two of them. If he wanted to lend it to others, he would definitely have to say hello to the other partner according to the rules of the academic community.
"Let's ask Professor Avila first, ask him if he knows about it."
Staring at the paper, Xu Chuan shook his head.
If Professor Artur Avila didn't know about it, this matter would be a bit serious.
