Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 156 Is Zhang Shuo’s theory correct?
“This is awesome!”

Zhao Chunhua's sigh expressed the thoughts of everyone.

This time it was just a small-scale particle collision experiment, and the CP group was only doing a test experiment, which can be understood as an overall test of the equipment. The scale of the particle collision experiment was relatively small, and the scale of the CP group's capture of hyperons was also relatively small.

The scale is small, but new discoveries can be made, and the huge deviations in particle motion are involved, which means that the signals of the new discoveries are very clear.

The signal is clear and the possibility of misjudgment is small.

Although this is the first test after the CP team modified the equipment and there may be problems with the equipment performance, because they have conducted many small-scale tests, generally speaking, such a large deviation will not occur.

In other words, they may have discovered new physical phenomena that can directly affect the movement of particles, which may be related to the "force field".

Starting from the theory, Xiao Jinchao understands the experimental goal as "discovering complex force fields."

This makes sense.

If an unknown force field appears inside, whether it is an electromagnetic field, a gravitational field or other field force, it will naturally affect the movement of particles.

So what kind of force field is it?

What are the specific impacts?
What is the mechanism of force field generation?
There are too many research directions for the new discovery, which means that this discovery will be a super discovery in the field of high-energy physics. It can't even be called high-energy physics, but involves conventional physics.

The force field not only affects particles, but also macroscopic matter.

The discovery of macroscopic force fields brought about by research in high-energy physics may become the starting point for new discoveries in physics and may even lead to a leap forward in physics.

This is no longer a new physics discovery of the international level, but a discovery that can be recorded in the history of human scientific development.

After understanding the situation, Qian Zhiguo asked blankly, "So you were discussing this issue just now, and now it's a new discovery?"

"Is this true? You're not lying to me, are you?"

"Such a great discovery..."

He really couldn't believe it.

The project team was just conducting a test experiment, so how could it be related to a major discovery in physics? Moreover, it was a major discovery that had never been seen before and that we dared not even think about.

Xiao Jinchao took a deep breath and said excitedly, "Don't you remember? We said that if Professor Zhang Shuo's theory is correct, we might discover a complex force field in the experiment."

"……Seems to be."

Qian Zhiguo thought about it carefully and realized that he had indeed discussed this topic with Xiao Jinchao, but even Xiao Jinchao himself didn't believe it.

He didn't believe it either.

If no one else in the office believed it before the data problem occurred, even Deng Yunshan could not imagine that they would have such an amazing discovery in their test experiments.

Now, they at least half believe it because the data is right in front of them.

Even if only 'half' believed it, it was enough, and everyone knew what this discovery represented.

An unprecedented major discovery that may contain new physics.

New physics also represents new research directions and even new technological applications. The temptation is too great!

……

No one in the office said anything, but they all showed that they were very motivated to work.

Deng Yunshan and Xiao Jinchao no longer sit in the office. They are very active in visiting various groups to check the data analysis situation.

The same goes for Zhao Chunhua.

After returning to the basic physics group, the old academician immediately asked for strict review of the data analysis report. "The data analysis must be rigorous and rigorous, and the deviation must be minimized as much as possible."

“This analysis is very important!”

"The analysis speed can be slowed down appropriately, but the results must be accurate..."

This is the requirement of the basic physics group, and the requirements of the CP group are even more stringent. All data analysis reports must undergo three cross-reviews of the analysis results, and detailed reports must be made at meetings.

For new experimental discoveries, the data from the cp group is crucial, but the data from the basic physics group is also important.

There is a certain connection between the two.

For example, data from the Fundamental Physics Group can provide an approximate number of hyperons produced and the overall initial energy.

When strict requirements were placed on experimental analysis data, the people involved in the work immediately felt the pressure.

For example, scholars sent by partner universities.

Xue Hongtao, a professor at Donggang University, complained to Professor Du Juan, "My report was rejected, and they even pointed out several major deviations."

"What happened this time?"

"I've been able to do this before, and I feel like it's better than the last time."

Du Juan said, "Our group hasn't submitted it yet. It seems we need to pay more attention and reconsider it. It seems that we can delay the submission for a few days, but the analysis results must be more accurate."

"Why are the requirements so strict?" Xue Hongtao was a little confused about the situation.

Du Juan said, "I'll go ask Xiaohong. She's really amazing. She has become Zhang Shuo's assistant."

“I’ve become a big shot!”

Xue Hongtao also smiled.

This is not sarcasm, but the true thought. Gao Xiaohong is the cooperation representative of Suzhou University of Technology. Because of her young age, she has always been taken care of by others. Her rank is only an associate professor.

Assistant, it doesn’t matter, it’s important who you serve as an assistant to.

Now Zhang Shuo is the specially invited technical consultant of the CP group, and can also be said to be one of the experimental leaders. Gao Xiaohong's status has also risen. In the experimental base full of professors and researchers, the assistant to the leader is much better than an "inconspicuous" associate professor.

Du Juan contacted Gao Xiaohong.

Gao Xiaohong said "I can't say", "I can't say", and later just said "It's a good thing".

good thing?

The strict requirements of data analysis are associated with "good things", which makes people think a lot.

"Did you discover something?"

“This is indeed a good thing…”

"But it's impossible, right? This is just a test experiment, what can we find?"

In the experimental base, Xue Hongtao and Du Juan were not the only ones who were curious. Hundreds of people were involved in the data analysis work. They all knew that the requirements were very strict, so they were naturally curious.

If it is just a conventional particle collision experiment or a test experiment of the CP group, the requirements for data analysis will definitely not be so strict.

A few days later, many data teams submitted their reports, and then a rumor came out - the CP team had made a major discovery!
Only a few responsible persons know what the major discovery is, but it has been confirmed that there has been a major discovery.

After the news was confirmed, everyone worked more seriously.

What a major discovery!
Major discoveries in high-energy physics will be related to everyone. For example, the name of every researcher who contributed to the discovery of the God particle will be recorded.

You can also write a sentence on your personal profile - participated in the discovery of the Higgs boson (God particle) and made 'XXX' contributions.

……

Another five days passed. For ten days, the experimental base had been conducting data analysis, and all the data was collected and sorted out in detail.

An experimental meeting was held at the base.

At the meeting, the heads of each division made a data summary report, made an overall assessment of the particle collision experiment, and also specifically explained the data related to "hyperons".

Then comes the important moment.

Cp group makes report!

The number of people doing data analysis in the CP group is not as large as that in the basic physics group, but their reports are the most attractive because there are rumors that the CP group has made a major discovery.

Xiao Jinchao and Deng Yunshan took the stage to give data summary reports respectively, and the process was relatively uneventful.

This data report is different from usual ones because it is the first report after the new discovery is confirmed, so some data will be different, such as the addition of data related to particle motion.

The next person to give the report was Qian Zhiguo.

Qian Zhiguo was obviously a little excited. He stood up with a document in his hand and a red face, and said, "For this experiment, our data is tested and fed back at different time points."

"Each time the overall data is compared with the initial data, after a detailed analysis, we found that—"

He was obviously excited when he said this. "We found that the overall kinetic energy of Corsi hyperons, Lambda hyperons, decayed protons, and all massive particles was seriously deviated from the expected value!"

"This deviation continued to expand with the passage of time. At the second time point, the deviation reached 4.523%. The deviation of the last test data reached 11.166%!"

"Based on the data, we believe that some unknown field force may have appeared during the decay of the hyperon due to strong magnetic interference, directly affecting the movement of the particles..."

"Hula-!"

The whole venue was in an uproar.

Everyone knew the rumors and knew that there might be some kind of discovery in the experiment, but no one expected the discovery to be so shocking.

An unknown field force that affects the movement of particles?
Is the signal so clear?
"Is it true? The signal is so clear? Why does this happen?"

“Is it possible that it’s a problem with the equipment?”

"It is impossible for the equipment and testing to have such a large deviation, otherwise the relevant persons in charge will be held accountable."

"This kind of deviation can no longer be explained by the equipment. It must be a real discovery..."

“That’s amazing!”

"Brand-new physics? I seem to have heard of it before. It affects the movement of particles...unknown physical phenomena in particle collision experiments?"

"Yup!"

Many people associate the two together.

The unknown physical phenomena in particle collision experiments were discovered using computer deviation analysis and may also be an unknown force field.

The two may be related!
Of course, this is just speculation for now.

The new discovery is very amazing because the experiment created an unknown force field, which will definitely shock the world when it is released.

This means that there may be unknown physical laws contained therein!
Unknown physics!

That would definitely be a feast of physics and would drive all physicists crazy.

It’s getting crazy now.

The scholars in the conference hall kept discussing and showed no signs of stopping.

Zhang Shuo and Yu Fei sat together. They seemed very calm, perhaps because the excitement had long passed.

Zhang Shuo has submitted the task and confirmed the discovery of the chaos force field.

Yu Fei's ability to accept is much stronger than Qian Zhiguo and others, because when the CP group had not yet determined the new direction, he heard Zhang Shuo say that strong magnetic interference hyperon decay can create "unknown physical phenomena" similar to particle collision experiments, or it can be called "unknown force field phenomena."

Now that this phenomenon has been discovered, it seems to be a natural thing?

He still couldn't hide his excitement.

The cp group's research has not made any progress, and it has been confirmed that the signal conversion analysis method cannot detect the baryon cp signal, which once caused the cp group to be on the verge of dissolution.

Now the CP team has made a major discovery that is enough to shock the world!

Yu Fei even felt like he was living in a dream. He was conducting research in a new direction and made a major discovery during a test experiment.

Once the research is released, the CP group will immediately become the international focus.

From facing dissolution to the international spotlight...

Yu Fei found it incredible when he thought about it. He felt that the best thing he had done was to choose to believe Zhang Shuo.

……

The new discovery of the Cp group was first spread in the form of "rumors".

These rumors came from people involved in the experimental analysis. They said that the CP group had made new physical discoveries and that they were related to unknown force fields. Some people even said so with certainty.

The academic community quickly learned the news.

Many people started discussing, "Did the CP team make such a big discovery in their first test experiment?"

"This is no longer a matter of testing experiments. Strong magnetic interference with hyperon decay has discovered an unknown force field. It's incredible. It should be new physics, right?"

“It’s definitely new physics that cannot be explained by current physics.”

"Why does this happen?"

“So it’s new physics, and we must study the principles behind it, but have the discoveries been truly confirmed?”

"Hard to say……"

For completely new physical discoveries, the confidence level must reach a certain standard, and the new discoveries made by the CP group have not yet reached this level.

Although the newly discovered signal is very obvious, what makes people question is the experiment itself. How can we prove that there are no problems with the equipment and detection?

This is a problem.

Even if the same experiment is performed continuously, one cannot fully believe that there are no problems with the equipment and testing.

For a physical discovery of this level, it is not up to one research team to confirm it. The CP group will become the "discoverer", but confirmation will still require teams from other institutions.

For example, nuclear organization.

They can perform the same experiment and then verify the existence of new physics discoveries.

When two large international institutions discover the same phenomenon, it can be confirmed that the new physical phenomenon exists.

Of course, people who are not involved will not think so much.

When many people heard the news, they couldn't help but think of the CP group's new experimental direction, strong magnetic interference hyperon decay, which is based on the theoretical framework developed by Zhang Shuo.

The theory that Zhang Shuo studied was a theoretical demonstration based on the fundamental force, and now there is a discovery in the experiment, doesn’t it mean that...

Is the theory correct?
