Chapter 172 China's Application

After the acceptance report meeting was settled, Xu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I knew that it was impossible for the other two laboratories to produce results so quickly, guessing on my own and getting confirmation from David Gross, the chairman of the board of directors, were completely different things.

All that's left is to check the data and the Dalitz chart.

Three days were enough for him and Chen Zhengping, the three academicians, to go through these things completely.

"How is it? Are we the first to submit the acceptance application report?"

As soon as Xu Chuan returned to the Huaguo office area, he received the expectant looks of the three academicians.

Hearing this, Xu Chuan nodded heavily to confirm.

After confirming that Hua Guo was the first to submit an application for an acceptance report, the three academicians breathed a sigh of relief and smiled on their tired faces.

For Xu Chuan, this experiment and data analysis is a verification of his previous theoretical calculations.

But for the three academicians, it means much more than that.

Through this experiment, the main purpose is to let CERN see China's scientific research capabilities, improve China's status in CERN, and join CERN as a member state.

That’s why the three universities attach special importance to this experiment.

Fortunately, judging from the current experimental data analysis, they have found the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between Higgs and third-generation heavy quarks.

There is no problem with Xu Chuan's theory and calculations. The 128Gev-131Gev collision energy level range is indeed the energy level where the Higgs particle decays and the third-generation heavy quark Yukawa couples.

"Junior brother, congratulations, you have solved another epic problem."

Beside the three academicians, Qi Xishao stepped forward and congratulated with a smile.

As a formal researcher at CERN, he has participated in data analysis work at NTU before, so he will definitely be included in the team this time.

But besides congratulations, he also felt a little sigh in his heart.

This little junior brother is really a pervert.

From the time he came here in July to mid-October, in more than three months, he has solved two physics problems that can be called epic.

One is the 'proton radius mystery' that has been debated in the physics community for several years but has not been solved.

The other is even older. Since the advent of equipment like particle collider, some people have tried to use mathematics to calculate the emergence channels of physical particles, but no one has ever done it.

It has been more than ten years now, at least.

It took more than three months to solve two physics problems. Even if the first one was prepared before, and this time it was only verified with the help of CERN's accelerator, it is an exaggeration.

In addition, in the first half of the year, this junior also solved a difficult problem in mathematics and astrophysics. Although he used his achievements in mathematics to do astronomy and physics,

Gee, this level of exaggeration is comparable to Mr. Einstein’s Miracle Year.

The gold content may not be as high as that of Mr. Ai, but throughout the history of physics, few people have achieved such an achievement.

Although he became a formal researcher at CERN last year and is considered a young talent in the entire physics community, in comparison, he is really nothing.

This junior fellow student, being in the same industry as him, really makes people feel inferior.

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "The idea of ​​an epic problem is too exaggerated. For the entire physics world, it is just a speck of water."

Qi Xishao smiled. If he could solve this problem, he would have to fly back to his country to personally cultivate two handfuls of soil on his ancestral graves and put several thousands of firecrackers on them.

Three days was not a long time. Xu Chuan and three academicians verified the analyzed experimental data twice and it was over.

On the day of the report meeting, CERN's largest auditorium No. 1 was crowded with people. Many people in the auditorium with more than 400 seats were even standing.

Not only the physicists who are researching at CERN here, many other universities or physics institutes and laboratories have arranged for personnel to come and listen to the reports.

This experiment is a verification of the energy level channel of the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between Higgs and third-generation heavy quarks that was previously calculated through mathematical calculations.

If it succeeds, it is no exaggeration to say that the world of physics will usher in a new revolution.

In the face of millions and tens of millions of collision funds and the consumption of brain cells of some physicists or mathematicians, I am afraid that both the country and the capitalists will choose the latter without hesitation.

The person who took the stage to report on this data analysis work was, not surprisingly, Xu Chuan.

Although the data analysis was conducted jointly by NTU and three other universities, this was an experiment based on his theoretical data.

Moreover, academicians like Chen Zhengping are also willing to raise Xu Chuan's reputation even higher.

Xu Chuan didn't pay much attention to this.

But after completing his work at CERN this time, it was time for him to return to mathematics study.

Just as Senior Brother Qi Xishao Qi thought, the things he made in the past year were a bit too exaggerated.

Even though it is all pure mathematics and pure theory, and it is all public, it is enough for the United States to pay attention to him. Maybe he is now on a list.

Of course, Xu Chuan must have paid attention to this aspect.

Although his current achievements may seem exaggerated to the younger generation, in fact, if you pay close attention, you can see that all his achievements are related to mathematics.

From the Weyl-Berry conjecture to the Xu-Weyl-Berry calculation of celestial parameters, to the mystery of the proton radius and the calculation of the energy level channel of the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between the Higgs and the third-generation heavy quarks. In fact, all of them are extended from mathematics, and all of them are public pure theoretical things, without involving any sensitive areas.

Perhaps the calculation of the energy level channel of the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between the Higgs and the third-generation heavy quarks can save a lot of money for the collider, but this does not involve other things, and research in this area cannot be transformed into other products.

More importantly, the particles and experimental data produced by each collider collision are different. It is impossible to popularize this method like the Xu-Weyl-Berry calculation of celestial parameters.

It does not have a fixed set of parameters and calculation methods. Researchers need to analyze, use and calculate specific information in a targeted manner. It can even be said that he was lucky and had the guidance of Professor Gross to achieve it.

These achievements are completely different from those things in sensitive fields.

For example, Cao Yuan, another genius who will become famous next year, is currently studying the arrangement order of graphene and graphene superconductivity according to the historical trend.

For the United States, this can be said to be a sensitive field.

Fortunately, this genius returned to China directly after completing the basics of the laboratory. If he had studied it further and put it into industrial production, he would probably have encountered the same dilemma as in his previous life.

Graphene superconductivity is definitely a sensitive field for the United States.

But there is still a big difference between laboratory production and industrial production. The former is actually just to verify the theory, no matter how much money is spent.

The latter, however, is for commercialization and industrialization, and naturally needs to consider things like cost and manufacturing steps.

Not everything that can be made in the laboratory can be successfully industrialized.

This is an unrealistic dream. If it could really be done, human civilization would have entered the sea of ​​stars long ago, so why is it still playing in the mud on Earth now.

Xu Chuan knows this very well. There are really many good things in laboratories in various countries.

But unfortunately, these things can only be manufactured on a very small scale in the laboratory, and the cost is very high, so they cannot be applied to business and industry at all.

The acceptance report meeting lasted for 45 minutes. Xu Chuan skillfully started from the initial theory, briefly introduced it once, and then turned to the data of this collision experiment.

". I am very grateful for the joint efforts of all researchers from Nanjing University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and Jiaotong University, and I am also grateful for the support of CERN. Through this collision experiment, we successfully found the Yukawa coupling phenomenon of Higgs decay and third-generation heavy quarks in the 128Gev~134Gev energy level region."

"Although this is slightly different from my previous calculations, it turns out that the Yukawa coupling phenomenon of Higgs and third-generation heavy quarks does not occur above the 150Gev energy level region previously speculated, but is closer to the energy level region of the Higgs particle mass."

"Although I don't know why it violates previous experimental experience, there is nothing wrong with this theoretical data."

"And through this experiment, we are one step closer to the secret of the origin of mass. Perhaps, in the near future, we can build a larger particle collider and discover other secrets hidden in the universe."

"My report is over. Thank you for your patience. Thank you."

After the last sentence fell, Xu Chuan bowed slightly to the many physicists in the audience.

Suddenly, thunderous applause broke out in the No. 1 auditorium.

Everyone was impressed by the wonderful report of the young man on the stage, including the staff of the two competing institutes, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in the United States and the German Electron Synchrotron, who were all clapping softly.

It must be said that this was indeed one of the two most exciting reports this year.

By the way, the other most exciting report was also given by the young man on the stage.

The discovery of the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between the Higgs and the third-generation heavy quarks can be said to be the most important research result of CERN this year.

Even the "proton radius mystery" that was solved before is not as good as it.

Although the mystery of the proton radius is of great significance, it only solves the troubles of physicists in the past few years, and does not give an accurate number for the proton radius.

The number of 0.831 femtometers is still estimated.

If one day, the accurate proton radius can be calculated or measured, it can surpass the discovery of the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between the Higgs and the third-generation heavy quarks.

As for now, the Yukawa coupling of the Higgs decay and the formation of matter, which can study the origin of mass, is more important.

Although the current physics community cannot do anything with this discovery, such as controlling this phenomenon to artificially synthesize metal nuclei, at least its existence has lit a bright light for the future physics community.

According to the usual practice, after Xu Chuan finished the acceptance report meeting and obtained the approval of the acceptance personnel, CERN sent invitations to journalists and media in Geneva and even all of Europe the day after the experiment ended, and held a high-level press conference.

David Gross, chairman of the board of directors, personally announced the news to the media reporters.

"...We have successfully discovered the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between Higgs and third-generation heavy quarks. Through the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between Higgs and third-generation heavy quarks, we can get closer to the origin of matter and get closer to it. A step forward. This was another victory for the Standard Model, which gave us a strong and tall physical edifice that remains strong to this day.”

"It is now approaching the end of October. If nothing else goes wrong, the discovery of the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between Higgs and third-generation heavy quarks will become the most significant research result in physics this year."

“Here, on behalf of CERN and the Board of Directors, I would like to express my special thanks to the talented young man from China, Mr. Xu Chuan.”

"It was he who completed the data calculation of the optimal search decay channel for the Yukawa coupling of Higgs and third-generation heavy quarks. He perfectly integrated mathematics into physics and locked the energy level of the target phenomenon at 128Gev~ 131Gev range, thus promoting our early success.”

"Because in the past, according to the historical experience of CERN, the Yukawa coupling energy level of Higgs and the third-generation heavy quark was probably above 150 Gev. It is no exaggeration to say that his calculation saved us at least one year. Within two years, at least millions of euros have been saved.”

"."

Amid surges of applause, CERN's press conference came to an end, followed by a large number of media outlets that carried out overwhelming publicity and reporting on this phenomenon.

[CERNF discovered the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between Higgs and third-generation heavy quarks, which may explain the origin of mass. 】

[A talented young man from China actually asked CERN to publicly express his gratitude? 】

[One calculation = millions of euros. Does mathematics really have such magic power? 】

[CERN has once again launched the Large Strong Particle Collider. Hurricane Matthew is raging across the North American continent, severely damaging many countries. Is the fate of mankind linked to this? 】

Various reports circulated on the Internet and in newspapers, attracting the attention of a wide range of netizens.

Many people were stunned when they saw this seemingly familiar name.

"Xu Chuan? I seem to have heard of this name."

"The mystery of the proton radius was solved by him in August. If you pay attention to high-energy physics, he is the most discussed person in the entire high-energy physics community."

"It's incredible. Not only did you solve a difficult problem in one year, but it also helped CERN save millions of euros?"

"Not only that, he also solved a world-class mathematical conjecture in the first half of this year and created a brand new method for calculating celestial information for the astrophysics community. If you count it this way, he has solved at least three to four problems in a year. A big problem."

"Maybe this is some kind of magic from the ancient eastern countries?"

While netizens were discussing media reports, a new board meeting was also held at CERN.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss whether to absorb China as a new member state based on the application for formal membership submitted by China in the past two days.

This year may be the last year that CERN allows new member states to join.

Because there are rumors, CERN may no longer accept new member states next year, and future membership applications will be converted into member states or associate members.
