From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 182 A Genius Still Working So Hard

After two days of study, Lin Xiao and Sven Sai set off for the IN2P3 Computing Center.

The IN2P3 computing center is located in Lyon, about 400 kilometers away from Paris.

For Lin Xiao, it was also the first time for him to leave Paris. Of course, he had only been in Paris for less than two months. Going out for a stroll just happened to be able to enjoy more scenery.

And with him, in addition to Svensey, Henry Bernard also came together, as well as other members of their research group, as well as other researchers studying high-energy physics in Paris.

Because this time it is not just for their topic, there is also an academic seminar on high-energy physics over there, so participating in this seminar is the main purpose, and their topic is only secondary.

This seminar is also quite important. Professionals from European universities and research institutions will come, and people from other countries will also come.

In terms of high-energy physics, Europe, which has the Large Hadron Collider, is still at the core. Every time the Large Hadron Collider is launched, it is a feast for the physics community. Physics experts will gather here, expecting to witness the emergence of new physics.

This is why Huaguo wants to build CEPC, and the government will support the project, hoping to attract more talents.

……

In this way, after an hour of sailing, they finally arrived at their destination, Lyon.

This city located in the southeast of France is second only to Paris in the whole of France. In addition to its economic status, it is also a city full of historical and cultural heritage. It was already quite prosperous during the Roman Empire. up.

After leaving the airport, they would go directly to the hotel they booked because they would stay for about three days, which is also very close to IN2P3.

After checking into the hotel, Swen Sai held a meeting with people from their research group.

There were seven people in total. Besides Lin Xiao and Henry, the other four included Svensey's master's students and several postdoctoral fellows.

"First, let me introduce our new member, Lin Xiao, who is also the youngest and most talented math genius in the current mathematics world. Don't underestimate him, I believe he will bring you surprises in the future."

Swen Sai introduced Lin Xiao, and all the people present also looked at Lin Xiao and applauded together to express their welcome.

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded at these people, expressing a response.

Then Svensey talked about the purpose of coming to Lyon this time, "This time, the primary purpose is the seminar the day after tomorrow. At that time, you can also learn from professors from major European research institutes or other outstanding peers. a bit."

"The secondary purpose is that tomorrow, we will use their computing center here, input the data we processed some time ago, test the final accuracy, and see if the research for so many days has been in vain. "

"The purpose again." Speaking of this, Sven said with a smile, "It's just to have fun and relax. It's a rare time to come to Lyon. I heard that the Lyon football team will have a home game here in three days. If you want to go too , Come with me, tickets will be reimbursed!"

Hearing this, several students cheered: "Long live the professor!"

Henry also cheered, "Long live the great Professor Svensey!"

Listening to Henry's cheering words, Lin Xiao felt quite familiar, as if he had said that a few days ago?
After arranging the itinerary for the next few days, the meeting ended and they each returned to their rooms.

Lin Xiao and Henry lived in the same room. When they got back to the room, Henry lay down on his bed, picked up his phone and started reading novels.

As for Lin Xiao, he sat at the table, took out his computer, and started working.

For him, entertainment is learning, and learning is entertainment.

Sometimes he even wonders if he always studies like this, is it a sign of being controlled by the system?

But thinking about it again, he did gain pleasure through learning, which is enough. It can't be said that the system made him like learning, but he was controlled by the system.

What's more, I think therefore I am, and since he is still thinking, he is him.

Of course, sometimes he also wants to know, what is the system?
Unlike the 17-year-old who was surprised when he got the system, now that he has become a well-known young genius in the academic world, Lin Xiao will naturally have doubts about the existence of the system.

However, at present, he can only use a 'high-dimensional product' to explain the system.

Don't know about the rest.

Shaking his head, it doesn't make sense to think so much, after all, this is not "Interstellar", the system is the Morse code in it?
Then, return your attention to the computer.

The day before yesterday, Professor Swen Sai sent him the results of their current project. He has not read all of them yet. In order to have something to do after going to the computing center tomorrow, he decided to read all the current results before today. use up.

In this way, time passed slowly.

Henry, who was lying on the bed, came back from the state of being immersed in reading novels, and cursed: "The damn author broke chapters again! There is no little XX in broken chapters!"

Then he posted a sentence in the comments: "The author, let me tell you, there are 24 hours in a day, a total of 1440 minutes, 86400 seconds, if you sleep for 8 hours a day, and eat for an hour, there are still fifteen hours left. You can code a word in five seconds, and you can code more than 1 words a day. You can code this little now, are you embarrassed? 』

After sending it out, he thought about it, he was using French, and the author of this book is from China, so it should be translated into Chinese, right?
So he immediately thought of Lin Xiao, and when he thought of Lin Xiao, his eyes lit up again. Could it be possible to ask Lin Xiao to help and comment directly on the first website of the Huaguo author?

"Lin! Do me a favor!"

He immediately yelled, but when he sat up from the bed, he glanced at Lin Xiao, and then froze.

Lin Xiao was actually studying.

Seeing him like this, Henry couldn't help but touch his forehead, oh my god, is this a genius?

The genius is still working so hard, no wonder he is so good.

Then he walked up, came behind Lin Xiao, took a look, and saw that Lin Xiao was looking at their thesis, he shook his head helplessly, why couldn't he be so serious?
However, at this moment, he suddenly saw Lin Xiao put down the mouse, and then looked around for something.

Henry guessed what Lin Xiao was looking for, so he took out a draft paper from the side, and put it in front of Lin Xiao.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Henry next to him.

"You don't read novels anymore?"

Henry spread his hands, shrugged and said, "Seeing that you are still working, how can I have the nerve to continue watching."

Lin Xiao smiled: "I'm going to the computing center tomorrow, of course I have to understand the subject first."

Then he opened the draft paper, and after opening it, he was ready to calculate, "By the way, how did you know that I want draft paper?"

Henry said as a matter of course: "The first law of mathematics and physics research, when you are reading a paper, if you suddenly look for something, you must be looking for scratch paper."

Lin Xiao: "...it seems reasonable, who said that?"

Henry smiled, "It's also called Bernard's first law."

"Okay." Lin Xiao shook his head with a smile, took out a pen from the side, pointed to a picture on the computer screen, and said: "Look at the coefficients of W and W+, if A3 is used as the W boson horizontally Momentum, we get the differential distribution of this function, isn’t there a problem?”

Henry looked at it and said: "Well, the differential distribution of the lateral momentum of the W boson? Under this ratio, there is a certain difference between the standard of the experimental data and our theoretical standard. Looking at the ratio of the image, it is... 2 %? But what's wrong with that?"

Such differences are inevitable. After all, one is an experiment and the other is a theory. Of course, there will be a gap.

Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "This difference can continue to be corrected."

"Revision?" Henry was taken aback: "2% is already very low, can it be revised?"

Lin Xiao didn't say much, and began to write on the draft paper.

【3/(16π)*(dσ^U)/(dpdydmν)...】

……

The purpose of their project is to help obtain more accurate predictions when measuring the mass of the W boson in the future.

The model in front of them is a part of their whole theory, that is, the differential distribution of the transverse momentum of the W boson. By comparing the theoretical model with the experimental data, if the error in it is reduced, it will help them to finalize the whole theory. contention.

And now there is a 2% error, which is indeed very low, but it still shows some problems.

That is to say, there is still room for improvement in their theoretical model. If the theory can be improved and the theory is closer to the experimental results, then their future calculations will bring more perfect conclusions.

This is like a slight difference, a thousand miles, a small error, after countless steps, this error will be infinitely magnified, especially in high-energy physics, it is necessary to pay attention to differentiating each quantity. 2% gap, if this method is finally applied to the measurement of the W boson mass, it will have a considerable impact on the result in the end.

Therefore, Lin Xiao is now going to modify their theoretical model to reduce this error, so as to continue to narrow the gap for the measurement of the W boson mass.

Seeing that Lin Xiao was writing more and more complicated mathematical formulas, the corners of Henry's mouth twitched. Sometimes it was difficult for him to understand what these mathematical geniuses were thinking. If he wanted to understand those complicated formulas, It took at least ten seconds, but Lin Xiao just wrote it out without any pause, as if he hadn't thought about it at all.

However, although he couldn't keep up, Henry was still watching from behind. He wanted to see how far Lin Xiao could reduce this error.

Just like that, Lin Xiao put the draft paper aside. After ten sheets of paper were used, Lin Xiao finally launched a completely new mathematical model.

Then, he stretched himself, opened Matlab, and entered his mathematical model into this mathematical software.

"nailed it?"

Henry asked.

"nailed it."

Lin Xiao smiled slightly, and then clicked the 'Export' button.

And as the result appeared, shock appeared on Henry's face.

Today's error--

0.01%!

How can it be? !
