From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 202 Black Hole Discovered? !
When the time came to the last second, an embarrassing scene appeared.

Because when everyone was staring at the screen, they were dumbfounded to find that it was stuck at the remaining 1 second and did not move.

Of course, this is common for computer progress bars.

After about 5 seconds passed, finally, the progress bar changed from 99% to 100%.

Then, the data displayed on the screen made everyone hold their breath again.

I saw that the images of the energy spectrum and wave spectrum have changed, the lines on the image have changed, and many data have also changed.

This change is due to the disappearance of those noises.

The data after losing the noise immediately made the physicists present feel a sense of "refreshing".

For physicists, it is a basic ability to see the meaning behind the image. For example, by looking at one of the crests, they can know that this thing is a sign of the decay of the Z boson. For example, the proton is Not become neutrons.

In particular, the vast majority of physicists present are world-class physicists, and their physical abilities needless to say.

Looking at such an image, they all want to express their comfort!
As for the data that has not been processed by the root investigation method before, they are far from being able to judge it at a glance, at least they have to look at it four or five times.

And after such a short period of silence in the room, cheers finally erupted.

"Pretty!"

"Perfect!"

"Awesome, what the hell!"

"Lin Shen 666!"

……

As an international research organization, there are people from various countries here, so scientists from various countries couldn't help expressing their praise in their own languages.

As far as this processing result is concerned, it is enough to be called perfect for them. I don’t know how much help it will bring to them when they process data in the future, including time saving, convenience in analysis, and accuracy of final results. sex.

All in all, this has demonstrated the success of the Gencha method.

And this is not over yet, after a while, another pop-up window appeared next to it, which was the evaluation of the processing efficiency this time.

I saw this pop-up window showing: [The processing efficiency this time is 91%-97%! 】

The appearance of this pop-up window pushed the atmosphere of the audience to a climax.

The lowest estimated processing efficiency is as high as 91%, which is enough to show how powerful this method is.
In ten years, with billions of collisions, the processing efficiency can still be as high as 91%, which is enough to show the amount of data it processes.

At this moment, everyone in the audience looked at the young man at the front and expressed their gratitude to him.

The research of high-energy physics will start a new chapter today, and all those who are engaged in this industry will be the beneficiaries.

Not to mention anything else, just say that for published papers, this simple root search method can provide their academic community with thousands of papers, such as randomly finding a previous high-energy physics paper , and then use the root search method to 'renovate' the data of these papers, reprocess them again, and then a brand new paper can be sent to journals, or even better journals than the papers before renovation .

Therefore, each of them would like to thank Lin Xiao for his root investigation method.

Even Peter Higgs' eye sockets were slightly red, and his pupils were even a little moist.

However, the moisture in his eyes did not stop the excited light in his eyes.

For him, he has no regrets in his life. The Higgs particle, which he pursued all his life, was also confirmed in this place eight years ago.

Even if you ask him what other pursuits he has in life, he may feel that he has no pursuits.

However, people obviously always have a pursuit, to be able to see what breakthroughs the physics world has, or something that can benefit the physics world, and obviously, Lin Xiao has done it twice for him.

In particular, this root investigation method also plays an extremely important role in the future development of physics.

So, he walked up to Lin Xiao very solemnly, grabbed Lin Xiao's hand with both hands, shook it tightly, and said, "Mr. Lin, thank you."

Seeing this old gentleman's appearance, Lin Xiao was a little astonished, and then smiled and said: "Mr. Higgs, this is my interest. I pursue it, not for the gratitude of others."

Higgs shook his head and said, "Great people think that's what they should do, but gratitude is what beneficiaries should do."

"If multidimensional field theory is your talent to prove that you are as good as Einstein in physics, then the 'mathematical vaccine' is a sufficient condition to prove your greatness, because it is a blessing for each of us .”

"So, I have to thank you, at least for showing me that our physics can still thrive even after my death."

Listening to what Higgs said, Lin Xiao nodded slightly, and then said with a smile: "Well, you are right."

Higgs smiled, patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder again, and said, "Hehe, in the end, I hope you can make more achievements for us to be grateful for."

Lin Xiao smiled: "As long as my brain hasn't stopped thinking, I will always pursue it."

"it is good!"

Higgs praised, and then said loudly to the people around him: "Friends, how can we not applaud such a young scholar?"

Then, he clapped his hands again, and at the same time slowly backed away, keeping himself out of the center of people's field of vision.

People once again gave Lin Xiao applause.

Looking at this scene, Lin Xiao shrugged helplessly, and then clapped his hands.

And as the applause faded away, the celebration of Root Chafa came to an end.

Then, Lin Xiao said: "Okay, let's save the Genzafa matter and celebrate it later. Don't forget the real purpose of our project, which is to measure the mass of the W boson!"

"Now, since our experimental data has become so concise and clear, let's start now and find out the traces that may represent the W boson!"

"I believe that with the current data results, we will have a good chance of finding traces of the W boson!"

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, those who belonged to the project team all shouted: "Okay!"

"Then, let's get to work!"

Afterwards, many people present returned to their seats and began to screen the data and images inside, and then according to the various properties of the W boson, it was determined that those traces might belong to the W boson. dice.

Although the W boson decays quickly, it is no longer impossible to find it in today's 'clean' data set.

In addition, of course, they will not give up the previous method of measuring W boson, that is, to conduct research through its decay products. In the past, there were many interferences in the experimental data, so even if they wanted to use the decay products to conduct research It is also very complicated, but the current experimental data is relatively more convenient, so they can continue to use this old method to measure again, and the measurement accuracy will definitely be more accurate than before.

In this way, as time passed slowly, someone finally cheered: "I seem to have found a particle that is very consistent with the W boson!"

Hearing his voice, people immediately paid attention.

Lin Xiao, who heard the news, couldn't help raising his attention, and said, "Send it on the big screen."

Then, there was a jump on the big screen, and several images appeared.

On the energy spectrum, it is a peak that rises suddenly. In the previous data, this peak will basically be regarded as an experimental error and will not be paid much attention to. But now if we cooperate with its trajectory and momentum Analysis, this is indeed very consistent with the various data of the W boson.

For example, the mass of the W boson is 80GeV/c, and if this peak value is used to calculate the energy formula, the mass obtained is very close to the value of 80GeV/c.

Also, its trajectory is very short, just like a point, unless it is magnified many times, it can be found that it is actually an arc. If it was placed in the past, this point will definitely be affected by the noise around it. Scientists regard it as a noise, but its appearance at this time makes everyone have to have the idea of ​​​​exploring it.

"It does seem a lot like the W boson?"

"Can be calculated."

People discussed it.

Lin Xiao discussed with several professors next to him, and finally determined that if nothing else happened, it was the W boson.

Then Lin Xiao applauded and encouraged: "Good job, this is indeed a W boson, okay, let's go ahead, try to find as many as possible, and then we will use the root search method to find them all. Mark it!"

The root search method can not only be used to find out the noise, but also can be used to mark all possible traces of the W boson, of course, the premise is that they first find the W boson, and then determine the mark of the W boson, and its common features.

So they now need to find some more samples.

"it is good!"

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, all the researchers present responded in unison. At the same time, because of this first success, they became more motivated.

Now, their distance from success has visibly shortened.

Seeing the researchers put into work again, Lin Xiao smiled slightly, then lowered his head, and continued to look at his things.

He did not search for the W boson with these researchers. As the general manager, after he gave the method, the work of using the method was naturally handed over to the people under him.

But now, he is doing more important things.

That is to look for some new discoveries that may appear from the current 'clear' experimental data.

The complicated experimental data in the past made it easy for them to ignore some strange but regular data, but now, they have a better chance of discovering these data.

Of course, it is not so easy. If we say that we used to find a needle in the Yellow River, now we are finding a needle in a relatively clean lake, and there are still difficulties.

However, after looking through many data images, Lin Xiao really didn't find anything special, and after this period of time, many people have discovered data that may be W bosons.

After reading for a long time, he suddenly felt a little thirsty, so Lin Xiao called Sterling to pour him a glass of water, and then he came to the side behind Professor Witten and looked at the data he was researching.

However, Witten's expression at this time seemed very serious, as if he had discovered something.

Lin Xiao couldn't help asking: "Witten, did you find anything?"

"This energy range makes me very puzzled. You see, its energy is as high as 2TeV or more! This is really incredible."

Lin Xiao looked down and nodded slightly, "Indeed, this energy is a bit too high."

Generally, those energies will be around the unit of GeV in the end, reaching TeV, that is, the level of trillion electron volts, which is really amazing.

Of course, it is not ruled out that this is noise data that has not been successfully processed.

Because the ATLAS detector, the source of their data, observes the collision of particle beams with energy up to 7TeV, if it is under the influence of noise, it is indeed possible to record such a high energy.

Both of them looked at the data and fell into thinking.

This is the case with scientific discoveries. An inadvertent discovery may bring them extremely important inspiration.

Perhaps the discovery was indeed noise, but what if it was an astonishing discovery?
After a while, Lin Xiao suddenly had an amazing idea.

Then he said immediately: "Share this data on the big screen."

Witten was taken aback, then followed what Lin Xiao said, and asked at the same time, "Do you have any ideas?"

Lin Xiao replied: "Hawking radiation."

And hearing these two words, Witten's eyes suddenly showed an incredible expression.

Hawking radiation? !
He thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that Lin Xiao's speculation was not impossible.

Hawking radiation is a phenomenon related to black holes speculated by Hawking based on the theory of quantum effects. It refers to the heat emitted by black holes due to the evaporation effect.

In the LHC, because the collision energy has reached the energy level of TeV, according to theoretical predictions, it is entirely possible to knock out a black hole.

That is to say, Lin Xiao judged that the suddenly rising energy peak was caused by Hawking radiation. As long as the identification is true, it means that they really created a black hole!
And this will be a huge shock to the physics world.

In the past, no one was able to detect Hawking radiation. After all, it required the observation of black holes, but now, their means of observing black holes are still relatively limited. It was extremely difficult to take pictures at the beginning, let alone to To judge whether it radiates energy.

So this has led to Hawking radiation has always been in doubt, and there has always been controversy in the physics community.

And if their observations are true, this will have an impact on the debate about black holes in the physics community.

At this time, the relevant data has also been shared on the big screen, and then Lin Xiao shouted to everyone: "Everyone, pay attention! Look at this energy peak rising suddenly on the big screen, and find something similar to it. other data."

"If it were possible, we might... be about to discover a black hole."
