[1] THE SCHOLAR ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM (END)
Chapter 178: Return to Jin Ling
Translator: Translated Henyee Editor: Translated Henyee
In this age of the internet, nothing is personal.
Within two days, the news spread across the country.
[Syok! The person who discovered those high-energy particles was actually him?]
[Lu Zhou: I'm actually a physicist.]
[He threw a high-energy particle physics bomb at the standard model building!]
[...]
However, Lu Zhou was still on the flight back home. His phone was turned off, and he slept in his chair. He doesn't know that he's trending anymore.
Actually, even if he knew, he wouldn't think too much about it.
After all, this is nothing compared to a potential Nobel Prize.
Even if CERN found something interesting in the 750 GeV energy zone, Lu Zhou might not even win the prize. Therefore, he never imagined himself winning something from this.
Wh why?
This is part of the rules for the Nobel Prize.
As research work in the field of theoretical physics becomes more and more systematic, it is worth talking about who deserves the award. According to his practice, the Nobel Prize medals will not be awarded to the discoverers of the particles, nor will they reward the researchers who operate the Hadron Collider, he said, but they will be more likely to be given to proponents or refinements of the theory.
From an academic point of view, the works of the first two are important, they are not important. Anyone can find a discovery randomly and anyone can run an experiment.
On the other hand, the latter job is very important.
This is why the 2013 Nobel Prize was awarded to the authors of the Higgs mechanism and the Higgs boson theory Peter Higgs and Francois Engler. This theory was proposed in the 1960s. As for the CERN researchers who participated in the experiment, although they all contributed, the Nobel Prize cannot be awarded to an organization. Therefore, it was impossible for people to hand out gifts.
Another example is the neutrino oscillation found in the Power Bay reactor in China. It was nominated for a Nobel Prize in 2015. However, the nominees were Professor Takashi of Japan and Professor Arthur MacDonald of Canada.
Some may ask, why not randomly create fictional particles and then set many physical properties about them? After that, one only needed to wait until it was discovered by someone else so that one could win the prize.
Theoretically, it might be done.
This is also why there was a sudden influx of theoretical physics thesis submissions after the release of 750 GeV data. Many people bet on this theory.
However, the chances of getting a Nobel Prize through this way are low.
A new theory, or new physical model, must at least be theoretically established and autonomous. Just like superstring theory, although increasingly marginalized in the field of theoretical physics, no one can falsify it theoretically.
If one cannot achieve logical autonomy, even if one discovers the Higgs particle, or claims to find gravitational waves, he will not be recognized by the academic community.
This was also why ordinary people would never receive a Nobel Prize. They can submit a thesis, but they will not understand the logic and formula behind it.
If this particle is found to be a supersymmetric particle, then the Nobel Prize might be awarded to Gongyi Hongcheng. He proposed supersymmetry and supersymmetry particles in 1966. As for Lu Zhou, is it possible for him to win?
Of course it's possible.
Not only Lu Zhou, but Frank Wilczek also had a chance.
Continuous improvement is not only a means of observation but also a theory that suits it.
For example, if a 750 GeV signal is actually a supersymmetric particle, this would break current knowledge of the standard model. Then, there may be "model Lu" or "model Wilczek" to explain these particles. It might be worth the Nobel Prize.
However, this is much more difficult than proving mathematical conjecture. It cannot be achieved by one person.
That was why, the day before yesterday, Frank gave Lu Zhou an invitation to settle this matter together.
The two agreed to communicate via email and complete this theory together.
The main work building on this theory will be done by Frank and his PhD students. Lu Zhou, on the other hand, would mainly be in charge of the calculations.
As Lu Zhou showed off his mathematical abilities at the European Nuclear Research Conference, Frank Wilczek decided to invite him over.
Even if it's just a Nobel Prize opportunity ...
...
It was dark when Lu Zhou took off, and it was still dark when he landed.
The plane glided through the dark night and landed slowly on the runway.
Although Professor Lu Shenjian had already told Lu Zhou that Yan Xinjue would come to pick him up, Lu Zhou did not want to trouble Yan Xinjue, so he did not contact her.
Lu Zhou dragged his luggage and walked out. Just as he was about to call a taxi, he saw someone waving at him.
When he saw the man, he was shocked.
Yan Xinjui?
Yan Xinjue carried Lu Zhou's suitcase into the car. As soon as he sat in the driver's seat, he said, “What are you doing at the airport? I've been waiting here since 10 o'clock before I finally found you. ”
"Sorry, my flight was delayed ... Also, how did you find my flight?"
"Grayer told me," Yan Xinjue said as he drove the steering wheel. He asked, "Are you going back to school?"
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Yes, thank you."
"It's okay, we're all friends here. This is just a small favor, " Yan Xinjue said with a smile. He then said, "Lu Zhou, you gain great respect for our LHCb China team! I haven't seen Professor Lu brag about anyone being difficult at the meeting. Even professors from Shuimu University praise you. ”
When Lu Zhou imagined the scene, he wanted to laugh. To be honest, he was not surprised.
He was a Nobel Prize-winning candidate, so this type of affirmation did not surprise him.
Yan Xinjue, "Omong-by the way, don't you want to learn how to drive?"
Lu Zhou thought for a moment before saying, “I will learn when I am free. I don't have to drive now. "
Student Yan, “What do you mean you don't need to? If you go somewhere, have a car handy. You should be rich from all those awards. Don't tell me you spent it all. ”
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "I've saved up for a house."
Yan Xinjue sighed and said, “Not bad, thinking of buying a house your age. It must be because of Professor Lu. He taught you well. "
Lu Zhou asked, "Do you have a home?"
Yan Xinjue suddenly had a strange expression as she said, “Hopefully I can save you a down payment by the end of the year. I want to buy a house in Beijing, but it's a bit difficult ... When did you get the idea that I was rich? "
When you spend money in Switzerland ...
Lu Zhou remembered that the money he spent was all Professor Lu's money. Maybe Yan Xinjue was not rich at all.
Lu Zhou, "Is it hard?"
Yan Xinjue sighed and said, “That's how theoretical physics research is. Didn't you do the project with Professor Li? Why don't you go and work on the physics of matter? Why did you come to energy physics? "
Lu Zhou did not know how to answer this question. He could not say that it was because of the mission of the system.
Of course, even without a system mission, he was still interested in particle physics. Otherwise, he would not have chosen mathematical physics.
Lu Zhou replied in an uncertain tone, "Maybe I like science?"
Yan Xinjue was silent.
Lu Zhou wondered if the answer sounded too fake when Yan Xinjue suddenly sighed and said, "Perhaps, this is why I'm not as good as you ..."
Lu Zhou, "...?"
This tone ...
He trusts me ?!
