"Group 3, please pay attention, the data has started to be synchronized, start the future, Shenwei, Tianhe, Suguang, Chaoyun supercomputing!"
The supercomputing power of all places is fully activated, and the analysis software written by Chen Nuo is beating on the big screen.
The waiting time was long, and everyone was staring at the big screen intently.
"3.18!"
Ten minutes later, a numerical value appeared on the big screen!
This is the approximate multiple of the standard deviation for statistical significance!
Wow!
All the high-energy physicists around the world who came to watch the ceremony in the auditorium of the Institute of High-Energy Physics cheered. Although the particle known as the "Holy Grail" by the physics community has not been discovered, this data has been compared with the value calculated in Vochran's paper. Very close.
In particle physics experiments, less than 3 times the standard deviation is called a sign, more than 3 times is called evidence, and more than 5 times is called a discovery.
Although it is not certain whether this 3.18 is the cause of statistical fluctuations, it is at least a good sign.
And all the work in the command hall tightly suppressed myself, because this was only the first collision. According to Fu Heran's calculation, the energy from 1200tev to 1300tev should collide every 10tev, even at the two values of 1250 and 1260. Multiple collisions are required to verify the correctness of the calculation.
"Attention all units, adjust the parameters, and there will be a second collision in 3 minutes!"
"The countdown begins... 10, 9, ... 1!"
Fu Heran pressed the switch of the proton synchronous firing gun again!
A few seconds later, the distribution curve appeared on the energy spectrum again, which also verified Fu Heran's calculation again!
The third time 1220tev... 3.66!
The fourth 1230tev... 4.23!
The fifth time 1240tev... 4.67!
The statistical standard deviations of five consecutive post-collision data analyzes were all close to the estimated values, which once again verified the correctness of Voheran's assumptions.
"Attention all units, adjust the parameters, the sixth collision will happen in 3 minutes!"
Wei Yang's voice resounded in each unit, and everyone held their breath at this moment, because the estimated values of the sixth to eighth collisions are the key to discovering new particles.
It is also the source of the particle mass gap in the gauge field.
"start!"
Fu Heran pressed the firing gun again.
The two protons collided, and suddenly an unusual bulge appeared in the detector's energy spectrum.
At this moment, everyone's hearts were frozen.
"5.88!"
Ten minutes later, a statistical value appeared on the big screen again!
"Gosh!"
"Fuck!"
"God!"
"oh, mygod!"
……
An exclamation sounded in the auditorium, and everyone stood up. Although it has not been verified, at least statistically, this is undoubtedly a new particle.
The seventh 1260tev...6.09!
The eighth time 1270tev...6.68!
The two consecutive collisions and the standard deviation multiples once again verified the viewpoints and calculations in the paper!
"Professor Witten, do you think this particle is the Higgs particle?"
"do not know!"
Wei Teng shook his head: "But... I hope it is!"
Speaking of this, a trace of expectation flashed in Weiteng's eyes. If the gauge field is fixed, maybe the great unification of physics can be solved.
This is hope!
从第九次的1280tev开始，标准差倍数陡然下降到了5以下，甚至到了第11次的1300tev的时候标准差倍数只有1.06！
"Professor Chen, do you want to verify the energy of 1250-170tev again?"
After a while, Wei Yang in the command hall asked Chen Nuo in a low voice.
Not only the command hall, but even the high-energy physics researchers in the auditorium are waiting.
Chen Nuo didn't speak, but stared at the branches on the big screen, his eyes sparkling.
"no need!"
After a while, Chen Nuo said in a low voice: "There is no need to verify any more, the bulge where the 1250-1270tev collides is... the real Higgs particle!"
Everyone was stunned!
The numerical value of the statistics is determined to be a new particle, but it has not been verified. Is Chen Nuo so sure?
"The data will not lie, let's go to the auditorium, and I will verify it for you!"
Chen Nuo said lightly, and then walked towards the gate. When he reached the gate, he turned his head and looked at all the workers standing up: "Thank you for your hard work, we have witnessed history together!"
"Haha, cool, I have been engaged in high-energy physics for so many years, and I have stayed in several collision centers such as LHC, CMS, ATLAS, etc., and I have never been as happy as today's experiment!"
"Damn, of course it's cool. Just for a while, our experiments here cost more than 100 billion. If you add the value lost by the supercomputing mobilization, today's experiments have exceeded 200 billion."
"It's nice to have money, you can really do whatever you want with money!"
"No, it should be that it's nice to have a good mentor!"
"I heard that today's experiment is based on Fu Heran's conjecture and calculation. What the hell, can mathematics really reach this level?"
……
After Chen Nuo and his party walked out of the command hall, cheers and discussions erupted from the staff in the hall.
"Take the time to check the equipment and record the parameters!"
The voice of Wei Yang, dean of the Institute of High Energy Physics, sounded in the command hall, with excitement in his voice.
The first hadron collider in China, with a circumference of 27.6 kilometers and [-] kilometers above the LHC, is already the first in the world. After Chen Nuo's transformation, it is the world's first in terms of scale and energy intensity. one.
Wait until later to build a small Pangu reactor for this hadron collider. The test does not need energy storage at all, and there is no need to coordinate the resources of all parties. Just ask who else has this configuration?
The first time it was turned on and running, the Higgs particle, which is considered by the physics community as the 'holy grail', was solved, which proved the gauge field.
This is destined to leave a strong mark in history.
Although the staff in the command hall also want to go to the auditorium to witness history, but they have a duty and they can only obey orders.
Chapter 753 Complete Standard Model
"Professor Chen?"
The physicists in the auditorium were surprised when they saw Chen Nuo appearing in the auditorium.
Shouldn't it be verifying at this time?
Why is it here?
Is there already a result?Or did something else happen?
"Everyone, the real Higgs particle... has been discovered!"
After Chen Nuo finished speaking, the entire auditorium was extremely quiet, so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard.
The expressions on everyone's faces froze at this moment, and their eyes were full of horror!
"Next, I will verify it for you to see!"
Without waiting for everyone to speak, Chen Nuo continued to speak out, and then looked at Fu Heran: "Shall I verify?"
Fu Heran nodded, at least judging from the current data, he cannot be verified because the data has not been processed.
If you wait until all the data processing is completed, it will probably take half a month.
Anything can happen in half a month, such as preemptive publication, and the great unification of physics, etc.
"Please get me some whiteboards!"
Chen Nuo said something to the worker next to him, and then started: "Everyone, for the convenience of checking and calculation, I will record the newly discovered Higgs particle as 'F particle'."
"Vu Heran's conjecture and opinion are based on the discovery of 750gev by the LHC. Some people think it is the Higgs boson, but from the analysis of the relationship between the decay branch ratio of the Higgs boson predicted by the standard model and its mass... it can be determined that Jp=0+ , the confidence level of its exclusion is above 97.7%.
……
"When colliding at 1250tev, the bulge produced as shown in the picture above..."
Symbols appeared on the whiteboard one by one, let alone ordinary people, even for the thousands of high-energy physics researchers present, more than 80% of them looked at the formulas on the whiteboard like a bible.
This is a mathematical method of verification, and it seems really tiring.
And this scene was broadcast live.
"Damn it, I was so lonely after reading it, let alone the whole formula, I can't even recognize a single symbol!"
"I suspect that I went to a fake university!"
"Damn, who can tell me, since when did mathematics become like this? Is this still something we have learned?"
"Excuse me, can anyone tell me what I should do to understand what Professor Chen wrote?"
"Forget it, don't make yourself unhappy, it is estimated that with our IQ, it is impossible to figure it out in this lifetime!"
……
In the auditorium of the Institute of High Energy Physics, Chen Nuo's explanation was still going on.
There is also a group of high-energy physics researchers who look at it with a look of bewilderment.
"To sum up, the particles found in the 1250tev-1270tev range are the particles that are outside the standard model and predicted, but have not been found... the Higgs particle."
"So far, we have found the last of the 62 particles predicted in the standard model, and the standard model is perfect."
"In other words, the gauge field has been proved by us, and the strong force, weak force, and electromagnetic force have been unified!"
The auditorium was very quiet, because quite a few people didn't understand it.
They looked at Wei Teng in the front row, expecting his response.
Wei Teng's gaze swept across the whiteboards, then Fu Heran's face again, and finally settled on Chen Nuo's face.
After a long time, he said, "Professor Chen, have you considered my proposal a while ago?"
"We'll talk about it later!"
The words of the two of them once again stunned the audience and countless netizens who watched the live broadcast.
We are asking you whether the Higgs particle discovered by Chen Nuo is the real Higgs particle?Canonical field right, it's not for the two of you to chat.
In the CMS office in Bristol, Professor Joel Goldstein watched the live broadcast, his face was full of frustration, and he muttered: "We lost...lost!"
In the LHC office, Professor Evans, who created the LHC, watched the live broadcast, and the expression on his face slowly eased from the seriousness.
"Professor Evans, is Chen Nuo's Higgs particle correct?"
"Without a doubt...he's right!"
Evans smiled very happily. The discovery of the Higgs particle means the establishment of the Standard Model and also reveals the source of mass.
The last two bricks of the Physics Building complete a piece again. imcrc
"I have a bold guess about the conversation between the two. When Fu Heran came up with the paper some time ago, Professor Weiteng went to Huaqing specifically, and Professor Weiteng stayed in Professor Chen's office for three or four hours. ,
Everyone questioned Fu Heran's thesis, but why did Professor Witten, who has the deepest knowledge in supersymmetry, superstrings, and M theory, not say anything, and has been waiting in Huaqing until now?
Don't forget, Witten is not only physics, he also won the Fields Medal, the highest honor in mathematics, and Professor Chen's mathematics is recognized as the strongest in the world, and Witten is the strongest in M theory, supersymmetry, and string theory of,
The cooperation between the two is to prepare for the great unification of physics, and the premise of cooperation is that the proof of the gauge field is correct, otherwise there will be no foundation for the great unification.
To sum up, when Professor Witten asks this question, he must think that Vochren's argument is correct, and this new particle is the 'holy grail' of particle physics - the Higgs particle! "
If Chen Nuo saw this speculation, he would definitely give this netizen the title of the best Sherlock Holmes.
