Genius of the Rules-Style System

"Relevance Rate" only feeds back one image location information.

After Zhao Yi received the message, he nodded continuously while listening to Edmir's words. He found a moment to point to a small dot on the screen and asked, "What is this?"

"Which one?" There are so many dots and lines on the screen that I can't even pinpoint which one it is.

"Enlarge the picture."

Zhao Yi said a reminder.

Edmir zoomed in on the location just now. There were still many points and lines on the screen, but the distance was relatively larger.

Zhao Yi simply moved the mouse and placed it on a bright spot on the screen, "This is what I'm talking about."

"this?"

Edmir was a little confused and said, "It's a photon emitted by a particle. There are all these things. The products of particle collision and decay will decelerate under the influence of the magnetic field in the detection, thus releasing photons. Why do you Asking this? This point is no different from others."

He couldn't see it anyway.

There are too many dots and lines on the screen, and the position pointed by Zhao Yi looks no different from the other dots.

Edmir continued, "Many of the points on this are the same. It can only form a very small point, indicating that the energy of the photons released is very small. There are many, many such points, and they should be very small particles. product.”

"Maybe it's decay, maybe it's just deceleration, maybe it's just environmental effects. Even some sound in the pipe may cause the particles to oscillate."

Zhao Yi listened carefully.

Although Edmir said it very casually, the content revealed in his true words was what he should learn and understand.

He nodded and said, "But it could also be a product of the decay of the Higgs particle, right?"

"certainly."

Edmir said with a smile on his face, "If you want to find the Higgs particle, you must study these very small points. Only they may be related to the Higgs particle."

"But my work does not require searching for the Higgs particle, which is too difficult. Look at how many small dots there are on this picture. Each small dot requires careful calculation to find out. Even if there is a slight deviation in what it specifically means, it will lead to wrong results.”

"The most important thing is that even if your calculations are completely correct, the conclusion may be wrong."

"To be honest, I have also studied the Higgs particle. Everyone who works here hopes to find the God particle, but it is too difficult. With the current performance of the collider, it is almost impossible to do it. ."

"Why?" Zhao Yi asked with a frown.

"Because there are too few Higgs particles produced." Edmir smiled. "We assume that Higgs particles exist, but according to the predictions of the particle model, the particle collision experiments we do may only produce Dozens, a few, maybe none.”

"With this little data, it is impossible to find the Higgs particle, because its decay products do not have much impact in every mass interval."

"That's not even close to an unexpected sound jolt."

Zhao Yi thought and understood.

In recent times, he has learned a lot about the Higgs particle. The simplest one is how the Higgs particle is formed.

To understand the Higgs particle, you must first know the Higgs field. The central idea of ​​the Higgs field is that even in the lowest energy state, space is by no means empty.

Particles traveling through space will interact with the Higgs field to a greater or lesser extent. This interaction gives the particles a "sticky" characteristic when they move, that is, mass.

The W and Z bosons obtain their mass through some interaction with this field.

Fermions gain mass through another interaction.

Since the Higgs field carries no net charge or color charge, photons and gluons do not interact with it at all and therefore still have no mass.

The Higgs particle can be understood as the oscillations and ripples of the Higgs field. It is like using powerful means to produce something with mass or something detectable in a vacuum. It sounds like it is made out of nothing, but in fact it is Indeed.

Therefore, some people say that the study of Higgs particles can even explain the origin of the universe.

Even from a theoretical perspective, it is not easy to produce the Higgs particle.

That's why Edmir said that the number of Higgs particles in the collision experiment was too small, so few that there might not be any, and even if there were, it would be almost impossible to detect it.

After Zhao Yi came to his senses, he suddenly discovered that he was really lucky. Looking at a computer picture, he could find a light point related to the Higgs particle.

"Mr. Edmir, can you change the picture so that I can take another look?" Zhao Yi asked with some anticipation.

"sure."

Edmir operated the computer and said by the way, "Call me Jill. I like people to call me by my name. Calling me Mr. Edmir is too foreign."

"Okay, Gil."

Edmir immediately changed the pictures. He searched them one by one and showed Zhao Yi the picture he admired most, "Look at this one, the most dense one."

There are a large number of dots and lines on the picture, and there is also a very thick line with a density more than three times higher than the original one.

"What is this?" Zhao Yi asked, pointing to the thick line.

Edmir explained, "It's a bunch of particles combined together. It's very valuable for research. If I zoom in on it..." He operated the screen to zoom in and saw that the thick lines were a lot of lines joined together. product, he continued with some pride, "I was the first to discover this thick line. At that time, I was sure it was very valuable for research. There were many teams who wanted to get the information in advance, but before the formal meeting ended, other It is against the rules to make the information public, so I rejected them all. If they want to see it, they can only come to me."

"I haven't been so popular in the past few years. An Englishman even sent me a few boxes of wine. I accepted it, but I still didn't give him the information, hahahaha..."

Edmir couldn't help laughing as he spoke.

What Zhao Yi heard was very funny.

Receive gifts but do nothing? This guy definitely has some bad taste. No wonder no one comes to the lab. There must be something wrong with his personality.

Of course.

That has nothing to do with Zhao Yi. At least he thinks Edmir is very good. He explained a lot of things to him for free and checked the information for himself. He gained a lot.

What he gained just now was that he knew that there were indeed very few Higgs particles. He spent nearly ten learning coins, followed Edmir to change pictures, and continuously used the "Correlation Rate" without getting any feedback at all. In other words, There is nothing related to the Higgs particle in more than a dozen pictures in a row.

So as Edmir said, there are so few Higgs particles that it is really impossible to detect them.

"But I already found out?"

"I can determine where the Higgs particle decay products exist, and I can calculate some properties of the Higgs particle based on the data at that location."

"Based on the properties of the Higgs particle, we can find other decay products of the Higgs particle from a large amount of data..."

"But how to prove it?"

Although it has not been officially tried, Zhao Yi does not think that "Contact Rate" can easily solve this problem.

The key lies in the conditions!

But there is a way to do what to do next. After conducting detailed calculations on the properties of the Higgs particle, and then collecting enough data and adding enough conditions, we can find out the evidence that proves the existence of the Higgs particle. method.

…

Although what to do has been laid out on the surface, it is very difficult to do it. The first thing to do is to find something related to the Higgs particle. It is best to find a few pairs of photons and study their momentum. , to analyze the mass range where the Higgs particle is located.

This is based on the conservation of energy, using the momentum of scattered photons after decay to calculate the particle properties before decay.

The Higgs particle decays very quickly, and its decay is also full of uncertainty. When the decayed product passes through the detector, it will emit photons, and it is necessary to study the emitted photons to study the decay. particles before.

What we can do now is to look for related photons after decay. The other decay products found have some reference significance, but because of other substances, it is not certain what they will be, and it is very difficult to calculate them.

So it can only be photons.

For the next whole day, Zhao Yu would stay in Edmir's workroom when he had free time. He would occasionally chat with Edmir, and most of the time he would look at the pictures on the computer.

Edmir seemed to be very happy to have someone with him. He told Zhao Yi how to change the pictures. At the same time, he was a little confused, "Are you going to do data analysis? These pictures have been analyzed many times. If you want relevant information, I can help you find it."

"Thanks in advance."

It would be great if Edmir could help.

Zhao Yidao said, "I think these pictures contain a lot of information. I want to take a closer look. If you find something interesting, can you help me find relevant report information?"

"Of course, it doesn't matter, these are all public."

Edmir nodded and said, "I think your method is very good. If I had the opportunity to come here when I was in school, I would definitely not miss these reports. As long as I can understand a report and know what is happening here. , what is written on it. My understanding of quantum physics will definitely be greatly improved."

Zhao Yi was a little dumbfounded after hearing this. So Edmir thought he was studying? That does make sense.

If a student studying quantum physics comes here to read these image materials and quite advanced reports, he will indeed have a deeper understanding of quantum physics.

This definitely speeds up the learning process.

But he is not studying now, but looking for content related to the Higgs particle in the picture data. He is constantly using the "Correlation Rate" to conduct research on the Higgs particle, which will definitely bring huge benefits and consumption. Hundreds or thousands of learning coins are nothing.

Later, Zhao Yi simply used scientific research coins. In the state of British thinking, he could learn about the content related to the Higgs particle in a picture without actively using his abilities.

In the process of constantly using his abilities, he found many relevant clues.

after one day.

Experimental testing of the collider has officially begun.

Zhao Yi stayed in an office and even felt a little nervous when he was informed that the experiment was about to begin.

The collision laboratory accelerates the two-proton beam through the pipeline to a level close to the speed of light. When it collides together in the middle, a large number of particles will be produced, which will scatter to the surroundings close to the beam, and then be captured by the detector in it.

This process sounds like a bomb explosion, even more terrifying. No wonder some people doubt that the collider is a machine capable of creating black holes.

But in fact, the worry was really unnecessary. Zhao Yi sat on the chair and kept waiting for the experiment, as if he was about to experience a critical moment. Then there was a knock on the door.

Ruan Wenye stood at the door, "Zhao Yi, the experiment is over. I'm going to the main hall to take a look. You can walk around as you like."

"okay!"

Zhao Yi realized that his worries were in vain. Thinking back carefully, he seemed to have been shaken just now?

Maybe it's true?

Maybe it's a feeling in your heart?

If no one informed him that the experiment was over, he would have thought that the experiment had not started, and his worries were all in vain.

The test experiment did not complete a set of collisions, but it was also very fast. It was all completed in a few seconds. If you were not in the main hall and watched a large amount of reaction data jumping, you would not know what happened at all.

Zhao Yi went to Edmir's studio again and looked at Edmir's data collection work. Edmir was in charge of a detector in a channel, and there were already particle reactions on the detector.

At this time point, most of the particles that can fly into the detector are already in the detector. What he has to do is to detect these particles and perfect the flight trajectory of each particle.

These flight trajectories are the most important.

According to high school textbooks, charged particles in a magnetic field will be affected by forces and change direction.

Based on the angular arc that changes direction, plus a series of other data, the properties, charge, etc. of the particles can be determined.

Zhao Yi watched Edmir's work carefully. The trajectory images of each particle on the computer were perfected, and these would become the data for research and analysis by the teams.

Many people from the team will also be involved in the work.

There are also several people from the domestic team involved in the work, but since it is not their home stadium, they all work in the main hall.

Zhao Yi was not interested in collecting data. He looked at it for a while and then lost interest. Instead, he went back and continued to check the originally collected picture data.

He found an unmistakable pair of photons.

Edmir provided him with many research reports related to the pictures. He found the description of this pair of photons from the report, but was only mentioned by one sentence, "It is a pair of photons emanating from particles."

there is none left.

Apparently.

This pair of photons was ignored by the research team.

In fact, it is easy to understand, because there are too many similar small dots on the picture, and you will not notice them at all if you put them together. However, there is still conclusive data analysis of photon pairs.

Zhao Yi easily calculated the mass of the Higgs particle based on the analyzed data——

Around 125GeV.

Therefore, it is easy to conclude that "there are a large number of Higgs particles in the 120GeV-130GeV interval."

Zhao Yi also judged the result based on the "Law of Cause and Effect", and the answer he got was of course correct.

So the next step was to study the 120GeV-130GeV interval. He checked a lot of relevant information. However, in the previous research, the 120GeV-130GeV interval was nothing special. It was not even specially marked as an interval, but it was related. There was still a lot of research. Putting all the relevant information together, he began to carefully interpret the data and research content.

Two days later.

Zhao Yi walked out of the workshop and returned to the town with the rest of the team.

By this time all the data has come out.

The work assigned to the domestic team is to study the data on several detectors in Area E. The role of mathematicians is reflected here.

Zhao Yi's job is the same as Chen Ming's, which is to analyze the particles at each point and line on the image, and calculate the particle data based on their travel routes and characteristics.

This is a complicated calculation task.

But for Zhao Yi, it is very simple. The properties of particles can be judged through the "Law of Cause and Effect". Things whose properties cannot be judged are things that have not yet been discovered.

These locations are marked.

If it is a particle that has been discovered and the result can be determined, it is just a simple calculation problem.

If it were placed half a year ago, Zhao Yi would have had a huge headache, because the results of simple calculations were uncertain, and using the "Law of Cause and Effect" and "Contact Rate" to speed up the process also became a bit complicated.

It's different now.

As his intelligence attributes continue to improve, his logical thinking ability is also constantly improving. He can easily obtain results from simple and complicated calculations.

If you enter the causal thinking mode, use your ability subconsciously, and see the content that may be the result, you can directly derive the result, and the calculation speed will be faster.

Zhao Yi didn't want to waste time. He also spent two scientific research coins during his work, and he almost finished it in one day.

Chen Ming and Zhao Yi worked together, and they were assigned similar computing tasks.

Chen Ming felt a little headache, but because he had done similar work, he felt that he could still give Zhao Yi some guidance, such as how long to take a break after working.

This is a short-term, long-term job.

Chen Ming estimated that the work at hand would take about five days, and he was determined to compete with Zhao Yi on his speed.

Although his results are incomparable with Zhao Yi in the field of mathematical research, their research fields are actually different.

Chen Ming is good at partial differential equations, complex algebra, space curves and other fields, and has done little research on number theory.

exactly.

The computational work at hand is the calculation of differential functions.

This is his area of ​​research.

He felt that his calculation speed would definitely be faster than Zhao Yi, and he felt a little bit of superiority in his heart.

After Chen Ming finished calculating a position, he looked up and saw Zhao Yi stretching. He said with a smile on his face, "Take a rest. We need to work for a long time, and this cannot be done in one breath."

"There's coffee over there, the latest one. By the way, give me a cup too."

"good."

Zhao Yi stood up and made two cups of coffee, then stood behind him and watched Chen Ming work.

Chen Ming took a sip of coffee and continued to work hard. He was studying a light function analysis, scratching his head and calculating the results.

Zhao Yi couldn't stand it anymore, so he said, "It's about 136 electric volts."

Chen Ming turned his head and glanced in surprise, but continued to calculate obsessively, and finally found that the answer was the same as Zhao Yu said.

He was a little surprised and a little unconvinced, so he continued to calculate the next point.

"240 volts."

"There should be a photon here..."

"There is an error in the equation you wrote. You have included a missing value. Take a closer look..."

"..."

Chen Ming scratched his head after being pointed out. He grinned and said depressedly, "Can you do your own work and don't always disturb my train of thought?" What broke him the most was that Zhao Yi still got it right every time. .

He calculated it for a long time every time, and every time the result was the same as Zhao Yi said.

This is too shocking!

No matter from any perspective, he is one of the top mathematicians in the country and ended up doing physics. A 20-year-old young man actually instructed me on some calculation work?

Zhao Yi laughed, "Don't I want you to hurry up?"

"Don't you have to work?" Chen Ming replied.

"Yeah, I'm done."

"ah?"

Chen Ming turned his head in disbelief, his face full of surprise and confusion, "Are you done? Is it all over?"

"Um."

"……real or fake?"

"What did I lie to you about?"

"..."

Chen Ming stood up quickly and walked directly to Zhao Yi's side. Looking at the large amount of data recorded on the computer, his brain suddenly entered a sluggish state.

Is this done?

That was several days of calculation work, but it was completed in just one day, specifically six or seven hours?

This is really cheating!

Thinking that he had completed less than one-fifth of the workload, Chen Ming suddenly felt that his life had become very dim.

Compared with Zhao Yi...

He's so stupid that he's like...ahem, motherfucker!

No comparison with this freak!
