Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 83 Report begins, two lunatics! The most credible rumor!

At this time, Zhang Shuo was already on the way.

His original plan was to follow Yang Haifeng to Donggang Airport and meet up with the other three people to go to Melbourne together.

A few days before departure, Cui Kaiwen called to discuss the itinerary and said that he would come to Donggang Airport with Bao Hexing.

The number of people in the group became seven.

After meeting Zhang Shuo, Cui Kaiwen first showed concern for his report, and then talked about the results that the Computing Center was going to publish.

"Deviation value!"

"After careful study, we believe that the deviation value is indeed very important. This data will also be important for the deviation analysis of large-scale experiments in the future."

"We analyzed several experiments, and the results were consistent with your prediction. In addition, there was one case where a regional particle fault occurred, but the deviation value was the lowest."

“The results were extraordinary.”

Kevin Cui said this very seriously.

Yang Haifeng and others also came over to listen. After learning about the deviation value and experimental deviation results, they were also surprised.

"If there is no problem with the calculation, it could really be a major discovery."

Yang Haifeng said, "I have learned about the regional particle fault problem in the analysis results. The Physics Center attributed this phenomenon to the interference of air particles."

"But on your platform, you have published more than 20 experimental analyses, and this situation occurred three times."

"This can't be caused by air particles."

Others also understood what Yang Haifeng meant.

If regional particle fault phenomenon occurs only once, it makes sense to call it "air particle interference".

The same phenomenon occurred three times in more than twenty experiments, and it was believed to be interference from air particles. Doesn't this mean that there is a serious air leakage problem in the particle collision experiment equipment?
In addition, the particle collision experiment does not involve two particles colliding with each other, but rather the continuous collision of two particle beams moving in opposite directions.

With every rotation, many particles collide with each other.

The reason why it looks like two particles colliding in the end is just a problem of overall data statistics.

That is to say, even if there are extremely rare air particles in the pipe, the interference with the experimental deviation analysis will not be so obvious.

Therefore, the factor of "air particle interference" can be ruled out as the cause of the regional particle fault.

After talking about the experimental analysis results, the group began to discuss the issue of "deviation value".

Cui Kaiwen also mentioned asking Zhang Shuo to make a report on behalf of the Computing Center.

He did not rush Zhang Shuo to confirm, but said, "Your report is on the first day. It will not be too late to consider it after your report is finished."

Zhang Shuo went to Melbourne to attend the meeting, and the most important thing was to give an algorithm report with Agostini.

If problems are pointed out in the report, his mood will definitely be affected. Whether he can still make a report on behalf of the Computing Center will depend on the situation at that time.

This is what Cui Kaiwen and Bao Hexing thought.

Yang Haifeng and others also felt that they were very thoughtful. It would definitely be a big blow to individuals if the research conducted by scholars was proven to be wrong.

Zhang Shuo didn't care. He smiled and said, "It shouldn't be a problem."

He didn't respond directly.

After that, the group continued to talk about the problem of deviation values, especially the analysis results of regional particle faults, where the deviation values ​​were smaller than other experimental analysis results.

why?

Zhang Shuo expressed his opinion, "If there are influencing factors that we are not aware of during the experiment."

"This influence can lead to deviations, sometimes in the overall picture and sometimes in the region."

"That would explain it."

He continued, "For this kind of unknown discovery, the best way is to use mathematical methods to analyze and study it, such as establishing functions and equations and combining experimental parameters for analysis."

"You should have understood the deviation. It is mainly affected by external factors. But if there are internal factors, the particle collision speed, the total energy carried, the environmental magnetic field, etc. may all be influencing factors."

"I think energy, especially electromagnetic energy, may be an important factor."

Zhang Shuo spoke seriously.

What he talked about covered the experimental principles of particle collisions, the analysis of the influence of various parameters in the particle collision process, the possible role of electromagnetic energy in the collision, and so on.

In particle collision experiments, the focus has always been on the collision speed and the particles that escape after the collision.

Electromagnetic energy is even considered a disturbance factor.

The experiment uses a proton beam simply because protons are positively charged and can be continuously accelerated by the coil's magnetic field, while neutrons do not carry an electric charge and cannot be continuously accelerated.

Zhang Shuo was discussing with others as he spoke.

When the discussion went deep into the basic principles of the experiment, various parameter issues, and even the deeper standard model of particles, Cui Kevin and Bao Hexing found that they had no say at all.

Some of them even couldn't understand.

The entire discussion was conducted by Zhang Shuo and Yang Haifeng, with the other three professors in the same field only saying a few words occasionally.

The discussion stopped when we were about to board the plane.

Yang Haifeng came back to his senses and exclaimed in surprise, "Zhang Shuo, I just realized that you know so much about particle physics!"

Others also sighed, "I noticed it a long time ago. I couldn't even get a word in just now."

"Are you very knowledgeable in this area?"

"But that's true. To develop an experimental deviation analysis algorithm, you must have a very deep understanding of each parameter..."

"But the Standard Model of particles is a theory."

Zhang Shuo chuckled and shook his head, "I'm just interested and have read some theoretical content."

……

After getting on the plane, Zhang Shuo began to think about the problem of the 'Liplaus-Pamir equation'.

The Liplos-Pamir equation describes the relationship between electromagnetic energy loss and force field chaos.

Now that there is no measured value for electromagnetic loss, is it possible to construct a weakening function that describes the relationship between the 'ratio of initial electromagnetic energy to total energy' and the experimental deviation?

So is there another way?

For example, using mathematical methods to study the problem of force field chaos based on experimental parameters?
He tried to establish a task - to describe the problem of experimental force field chaos by mathematical means.

The system has a prompt——

[Insufficient information, mission creation failed! ]

"Insufficient information?"

“Does it have to be possible to detect sufficient data and identify unknown physical phenomena before we can explore theoretical problems?”

He thought about it and established another task - to study the relationship between electromagnetic energy and gravity.

The system has another prompt——

[Insufficient information, mission creation failed! ]

This will of course fail.

Studying the relationship between electromagnetic energy and gravity is a branch of the "Source Point Theory" and was also the most popular direction in previous lives.

If we can successfully build a relationship between the two, we will be able to convert electromagnetic energy into gravity. Just by listening to the content, you can tell how great the application prospects are.

The 'source point' in the 'source point theory' represents the 'source point of the basic force'. The 'source point theory' believes that the four major forces evolved from the source point and can also return to their original state and transform into each other.

……

Speechless all the way.

Zhang Shuo, Yang Haifeng and their team, tired from the journey, set foot on Australian soil and arrived in beautiful Melbourne.

The ICHEP conference is held at the Melbourne Convention Centre.

After entering the hotel lobby, Zhang Shuo met Agostini and Calvacher who had been waiting for a long time.

"You are finally here, we have been waiting for two days."

Kalvaher and Zhang Shuo hugged and shook hands.

Agostini said, "You should have come yesterday to see the fight between me and Francesco."

"What's going on?" Zhang Shuo asked Kalvaher with his eyes.

Kalvah shrugged. “They met in the square of the conference center. Each person said only one sentence, but repeated it countless times.”

He imitated Francisco's tone, "You are wrong!"

Then he imitated Agostini, "You are jealous!"

"It was like this for at least five minutes. I wanted to pull him away, but he didn't want to."

“It’s embarrassing…”

Agostini was dissatisfied, "How can you say that? I am the winner!"

"It's just that the guy couldn't stand it and left first." Kalvah said with a pout.

"It's your style."

Zhang Shuo gave Agostini a thumbs up.

He checked in at the front desk, said hello to Yang Haifeng, and followed Agostini and Kalvaher to the room.

The three discussed the report issue.

Kalvaher had already assigned it, "I'll go on stage first, then Boorman, and finally you."

"I am responsible for the introduction of the algorithm. If there is a need for explanations other than the core algorithm, I can also do it."

"Boorman is responsible for the algorithm logic." "You are responsible for explaining the core signal evaluation system."

Agostini said, "I must admit that you have a deeper understanding of the signal evaluation system than I do."

Zhang Shuo nodded and accepted the work assignment.

The three of them then began to discuss the "tactics of giving a report", including which person should answer which questions, how to deal with tricky questions, and how others should assist when there is a jam in the explanation.

and many more.

These need to be thought about in advance, because the algorithm logic is very complex and problems may arise during the explanation.

Kalvaher worries about this.

Agostini and Zhang Shuo were not too worried, they both had plenty of confidence.

The report was held in the afternoon of the first day of the meeting and was scheduled to be held in Hall 2.

Hall 1 is the main hall.

The main hall is too spacious and not suitable as a venue for academic lectures. Hall No. 2 is also the largest hall outside the main hall. It has more than 400 seats, which is very large.

Normally, reports wouldn’t be read by so many people.

Obviously, their research has been taken seriously by the organizers, including the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), the European Organization for Nuclear Research and other large institutions.

……

Before the report was conducted, Kalvaher's strategy was to 'regain strength'.

They did not attend the opening ceremony and award ceremony, nor did they listen to the reports on the morning of the opening day. They stayed in the hotel to rest and get enough rest before giving their reports.

Zhang Shuo thought that this strategy was a good one, especially for Agostini, as he might get into trouble if he went there.

Once the report is finished, it won’t matter anymore.

Zhang Shuo still had to go to the venue to sign in. He and Yang Haifeng went there together. After receiving their access cards, they walked out and saw a menacing short white man.

The other party glanced at Zhang Shuo, then walked towards him and asked sharply, "Are you Zhang Shuo? Boorman's partner?"

He spoke with a tone of contempt.

Zhang Shuo looked at the other person, then stroked his hair with his hand and asked, "You are...?"

"Francisco Filifer!"

The other party reported his home address.

Zhang Shuo's eyes were still filled with confusion. He said politely, "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of this name. Can you introduce it in more detail?"

"Nuclear organization, CP destruction!" Two more words popped out of Francisco's mouth.

Zhang Shuo pursed his lips and continued to ask, "I know the CP is broken, but I still don't know who you are? Why don't you introduce yourself in more detail? For example, what job do you do in there?"

His voice was sincere.

Francisco heard a joke in it, and his face turned red. He angrily said, "You are as annoying as that guy Boorman!"

"Thanks for the compliment, but I don't think I'm as smart as Boorman."

The implication is that you associate intelligence with being annoying out of jealousy.

Francisco also heard the hidden meaning.

He looked around at the people surrounding him, snorted coldly, and walked away.

Those onlookers also knew who Zhang Shuo was, and they couldn't help but discuss, "That's Agostini's partner, an algorithm genius."

"Of course he is a genius. Not everyone is qualified to work with Agostini."

"I looked him up. He's very good at mathematics. He just published a paper on the boundary proof of the Monge-Ampere equation. That kind of research is very impressive..."

"So young, probably in his 20s."

"It's crazy for two geniuses to do research together. Let's see if we can find the problem tomorrow..."

Among the participants, very few believed that Agostini and Zhang Shuo’s report would be successful, mainly because the results were too outrageous.

Agostini is a recognized genius, but it's like when he announced the discovery of the baryon CP violation signal at CHEP, because the result was so outrageous, no one believed it at all.

Same now.

The algorithm jointly developed by Agostini and Zhang Shuo proved that the experimental signal conversion method was ineffective, which was also a very outrageous result.

Rumor has it that Agostini conducted this research because he could not detect the CP destruction signal and thought the problem lay in the experimental signal output.

This is not the normal way of thinking, but there are many people who believe it.

Those who are familiar with Agostini agree with this inference very much, "That's the kind of person Boorman is."

“It sounds outrageous, but it’s the most believable.”

"That guy has gone crazy!"

……

The next day, the ICHEP meeting officially began.

The morning saw the opening ceremony and award ceremony of the conference. The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics awarded the Young Scientist Award and the Outstanding Research and Discovery Award in Particle Physics.

These awards are not well-known, but in terms of particle physics research, they are also a form of international recognition in the field.

Zhang Shuo, Agostini and Kalvaher did not attend the opening ceremony. They stayed in the hotel to rest and played two games of billiards in the gym. Later, Agostini hurried back to the room and carefully read the content of the report to be given in the afternoon.

It can be seen that Agostini is a little nervous.

There had been problems with the last report, and he didn't want any more problems now.

While reviewing the report, Agostini kept asking Zhang Shuo, "Are you sure our research is OK?"

"Of course, I'm quite sure."

Zhang Shuo said with a strong sense of confidence, "I think you are too nervous. Don't worry, Boorman, there will be no problem."

"Thank you."

Agostini suddenly felt more relaxed. "I must admit that I now have more confidence in you than I do in myself."

"Just think about your report." Zhang Shuo said, "If you have any problems, I will go up to help you."

Kalvahe and Zhang Shuo whispered, "Ten years ago, he was much more confident than he is now, probably because of his age. Of course, the same is true for me."

"Maybe it's the influence of last time. His personality is..." He couldn't think of how to express it for a moment.

"I see."

Zhang Shuo laughed and said, "Geniuses always have all kinds of problems."

"But you don't seem to have it?" Kalvahe stared at Zhang Shuo with some confusion, "I mean, you are much more normal."

“So I’m not a genius.”

Zhang Shuo said this with self-mockery.

……

In the afternoon, Lecture Hall No. 2 was packed with people.

A large number of scholars poured into the lecture hall. Some of them simply stood in the corridor because they had no seats, while others simply wandered around the door, just wanting to see what would happen on the spot.

There were also media reporters on both sides of the lecture hall.

A camera had been placed and pointed at the podium, and there were two photographers holding up their lenses and filming continuously. One of the cameramen even waved and greeted Zhang Shuo who was sitting at the edge of the podium.

Zhang Shuo was sitting with Agostini. They were sitting in two special seats, side by side at the edge of the podium.

He noticed the cameraman waving, and after looking carefully, he found that he knew him. It was the cameraman who came to the school with female reporter Xu Yan to interview him.

He also waved and said hello.

At this time, Zhang Shuo didn't feel good. He and Agostini were in the most conspicuous position. When they turned around, there were hundreds of eyes looking at them, some were friendly, some were curious, and some were obviously hostile.

Sitting in the front row of the lecture hall are all big names.

For example, Fabiola Gianotti, head of the Atomic Organization, Eliezer Rabinović, chairman of the board of directors of the Center for Nuclear Research, and Andreas Hoch, a famous theoretical physicist.

In the first row, there are two Nobel Prize winners in physics - Takaaki Kajita and Anne-Lüller.

They are invited judges for the conference.

Even for an international high-energy physics conference with great influence, it is not easy to invite Nobel Prize winners in physics. It is not because the winners are too impressive, but because they are too old.

Most of the Nobel Prize winners in physics were over 60 years old, some even 70 or 80 years old when they won the prize. It is not easy to find young winners.

Not to mention, young winners in the same field.

Anne-Lullier is a relatively young winner and one of the few female winners, now over 65 years old.

Takaaki Kajita is only one year younger than Anne-Lüller.

They are already among the youngest living winners.

Under the attention of many scholars, Kalvach calmly stood on the stage and began to give a report. The part he gave was an overall overview.

The overall overview can be understood as giving those listening to the report a general understanding of the algorithm.

It is naturally impossible to find problems in this part.

Kalvaher is also an old professor in his 50s. He is a member of Agostini's team and a person who is easily overlooked. No one wants to find problems in his report.

He finished his part smoothly, taking just over half an hour.

Next came Agostini's turn.

When Agostini walked onto the stage, it was obvious that many people in the audience became serious.
