Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 158: Public opinion sensation, opening up a new direction in physics, Peter Phil: This is the gap!
Wang Changli would not consider Wang Jin's face. He and Wang Jin were the president and vice president, but there was no correlation between them at all, because there were several vice presidents, and the rank of ordinary vice presidents was quite different from his.

To him, there is no difference between Wang Jin, the Project Review Committee, the Institute of High Energy Physics, Wu Jianning, and even the CP Group. They are all scholars within the Academy of Sciences, subordinate research institutions, and project teams.

Wang Changli called Wang Jin and directly asked him to cancel the project review of the CP group.

If the CP group's research has achieved significant results, it will be very disadvantageous to the project review committee if the review is not revoked.

This is mainly because the research of the CP group has attracted public attention and their research has achieved significant results, and the impact is of course positive.

On the contrary, the review group is negative.

The current atmosphere of public opinion in the academic circle is already negative enough regarding administrative management work. Many topics discuss how administration makes things difficult for academic staff, and the review group may become a classic case if it is mentioned in public opinion.

This must absolutely be prevented.

Wang Jin had no right to bargain with Wang Changli, so he agreed without hesitation.

After hanging up the phone, his face became noticeably gloomy, but he also knew that he couldn't disobey Wang Changli.

They are not just the president or vice president.

Given Wang Changli's position, if even a few words were leaked, he would lose his position as vice president.

"Oh~~~"

Wang Jin could only sigh and say, "Withdraw the review." This sentence seemed to have taken up all his strength.

He didn't explain any further and just walked out of the office.

……

Wang Jin was very unwilling to withdraw his review. He mainly felt that he had lost face, but there was no other way.

Only two hours later, he began to thank Wang Changli.

Just over two hours after the Institute of High Energy Physics released information about the experimental results, the media began reporting on it.

Several major media outlets, including Renren Daily, Youth Daily, and Xinhua Daily, released news praising the experimental findings of the CP group. Various medium and small media outlets, including some self-media, also followed suit in reporting.

It feels like a comprehensive report. As long as you open the news software, you can see information about the new experimental findings of the CP group.

All the reports were positive. "Dare to innovate and take the lead. The CP project team of the Institute of High Energy Physics discovered the unknown force field in the decay of hyperon motion with independent experimental design."

"This could be the starting point for physics to take off, and new physics could lead to new technological developments."

"The cutting-edge theory studied by Professor Zhang Shuo of Soochow University has been verified by the experiments of the CP group, and an unprecedented force field phenomenon has been discovered, which will become the beginning of new physics..."

"The CP group conducted brand-new research in this direction. Instead of following the international footsteps, they conducted unique and innovative experiments and made new discoveries that may become milestones in physics..."

"Basic scientific research is very important. China has been increasing its investment in related fields. The new direction of the CP group, from theory to experiment, was completed domestically, and the new discovery also represents the success of the new direction."

"Professor Zhang Shuo from Soochow University is a special guest expert of the CP group. The new direction of the CP group is to design experiments based on his 'mechanical framework theory'. The discovery of unknown physical phenomena also represents the correctness of the theoretical framework."

"The new theory has found a new direction for high-energy physics research..."

There were a lot of reports, a lot of praise, a lot of affirmation, and keywords such as "Institute of High Energy Physics", "Zhang Shuo", "CP group" and "unknown force field" frequently appeared in media reports.

The names of Wu Jianning, Yu Fei, Qian Zhiguo and others also appeared in some detailed reports.

There is a reason why the domestic media has carried out such extensive coverage. One important reason is that the new discovery is indeed shocking.

Strong magnetic interference with hyperon decay resulted in the discovery of an 'unknown force field', which may become a bridge between particle physics and macroscopic physics, and may even become a future technological application.

This also brings a completely new and unknown research direction.

Such a groundbreaking discovery is bound to become the most sensational physics discovery in recent years. Its value and significance will even be far greater than the Higgs boson, because the Higgs boson has been predicted, while the new phenomenon has not yet been explained in detail, but it has created a whole new research direction, which may contain physical rules that are unknown to humans.

New physics may bring new technologies and even lead mankind to a new round of technological revolution.

These are all possible.

In addition, the experimental research itself, including basic theory and experimental design, was independently completed by domestic scientific researchers, and did not replicate foreign experiments.

In many basic research fields, domestic research is a replica of foreign experiments. First, they replicate, that is, imitate, and then conduct follow-up research after the imitation is thoroughly understood.

This is true for experiments, not to mention theory.

The important theoretical foundations in the field of high-energy physics were all proposed by foreign scholars, and domestic scholars basically only did some minor work.

The current experimental discoveries are so significant, and the basic theories and experiments are all brand new, and were all completed by domestic scholars. This is equivalent to a major breakthrough in the field of basic scientific research in China, and is naturally worthy of special mention.

If the new experimental findings can really create a research direction, then China will be leading in this direction in the future.

High energy physics is the most cutting-edge and advanced physics research.

Being ahead in a new direction of high-energy physics is definitely a remarkable achievement and may also bring about major scientific and technological breakthroughs in the future.

……

Such a new discovery that is so highly valued in China is naturally also taken very seriously abroad.

The Institute of High Energy Physics is one of the most influential high-energy physics institutions in the world, ranking among the top three in the world.

The first one is of course the Nuclear Organization. Relying on the world's largest, most advanced and most powerful particle collider, the Nuclear Organization's particle research has always been at the forefront of the world.

Fermilab may be ranked second, but the Institute of High Energy Physics may also be competitive. In terms of scientific research, the gap is not very huge, so it is impossible to make a direct ranking.

The most outstanding technology of Fermilab is the particle accelerator, and it is no exaggeration to say that their research in this area is the best in the world.

The Institute of High Energy Physics also has its advantages. For example, it is very comprehensive. The high-energy physics computing platform built by the Institute of High Energy Physics' Computing Center is second only to the large-scale physics platform of the Nuclear Organization.

With such a great international influence, Gaoneng naturally receives a lot of attention.

When the new experimental results were released, they immediately attracted the attention of the whole world because the new discovery was so amazing.

Arthur Castel, the temporary head of the CP research team of the Nuclear Organization, may be Francisco's replacement in the future. He is worried about the future of the CP research team.

Some people in the team suggested studying new signal conversion methods, so that it may be possible to discover baryon cp signals in the future.

The problem is that research is moving extremely slowly.

How can a new signal conversion method be so easy to study? A lot of experiments must be done in the process, and the technology must be accumulated bit by bit. It is not known when the overall experiment can be done.

Arthur Custer knew he had to set a new direction in a short period of time, otherwise others might not support him.

This is where the worry comes in.

He was rubbing his scalp in front of the computer when he heard his assistant shout, "Mr. Custer, check out the report from China!"

"In a new experiment conducted by the CP group at the Institute of High Energy Physics, they used strong electromagnetic interference to observe hyperon decay and discovered an unknown force field!"

Arthur Kaster was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he immediately found the relevant experimental announcement and a large number of coverage reports.

After he understood the content and findings of the experiment, he found that he didn't need to worry about it.

"Can you still do this? Strong magnetic interference?"

"Hyperions decay in a special environment of strong magnetism and generate an unknown force field that affects the movement of particles..."

"How can this be!"

"However, since they have discovered it, we... maybe this is a good direction, and it is also a research that must be done!"

……

Fermilab.

Peter Fair, deputy director of the laboratory, also noticed the new experimental results of the Institute of High Energy Physics.

As an experimental physicist, Peter Phil knew what the new discovery meant without even reading the report, and he immediately went to find the laboratory director, Leah Meminga.

"Ms. Meminga, I think we must do this research, strong magnetic interference hyperon decay."

"If their discovery is true, it could represent a whole new kind of physics, or even a whole new technology."

“This may become a major research direction in the future.”

Leah Meminga also glanced at the news, then said nonchalantly, "Mr. Phil, do you think it makes sense for us to discuss the future of the laboratory?"

Peter Phil was stunned.

Leah-Meminga continued, “Until the ownership of the laboratory is determined, the funds we can use are extremely limited.”

"Their discovery is indeed significant, but what if we do it? Replicate the experiment? Is it innovative?"

“Will such a replica experiment be convincing enough to be presented to the Department of Energy?”

Fermilab is also facing considerable turmoil as it is under review by the Department of Energy and its management contract expires.

Several universities and institutions are planning to take over Fermilab, but the ownership is still under discussion and the final decision will be made by the Department of Energy.

This is like a company changing its boss, which will naturally cause unrest among the people and the ongoing research will no longer be important.

Peter Phil also understands this and can only sigh, “If we don’t do research right away, we’ll have to put in more effort and investment to catch up in the future.”

“By then, it’s hard to say whether we’ll still be in the lab.”

Leah Meminga denied it with one sentence, and then a call came in from an official from the Ministry of Energy.

The other party asked directly on the phone, "Do you have any plans to conduct a strong magnetic interference hyperon decay experiment? This research seems to require the CP destruction project team and use the equipment there."

Mei Mingjia was stunned for a moment, then said seriously, "We are discussing this experiment."

"I plan to restart the CP group and do experiments in this direction at all costs. We are even considering re-hiring Mr. Greyward, who is a very experienced experimental physicist and an expert in this field."

Mei Mingjia responded quickly and said a lot of things in succession, including how to raise funds, what kind of researchers to use, and what technical advantages they have in conducting experiments, etc.

After hanging up the phone, Meiminga exhaled lightly. She stared at Peter Phil and said, "The Department of Energy attaches great importance to this research, just like I said just now."

"Any questions?"

"Uh~~~"

Peter Phil was stunned for a long time before he turned around and walked out in confusion. He began to understand why he couldn't be a supervisor.

Leah Meminga...

With this woman's reaction speed and adaptability, it wouldn't be surprising for her to become a female president in the future, let alone a supervisor!
