Great Country Academician

Chapter 941 Xu Chuan gives up~

After receiving the acceptance experimental data, Xu Chuan did not take the CERN’s detection of ‘Kadela dark matter’ too seriously.

Whether from the experimental data or the acceptance report, the possibility of Kadela dark matter being dark matter is not great.

On the other hand, the CRHPC’s detection of dark matter is also about to begin.

Although Professor Pride Carter’s acceptance report announced a failure, the competition between CRHPC and CERN is far from over.

Dark matter will be the main battlefield for the two sides to fight.

In order to be the first to explore particles that truly exceed the standard model, whether it is to improve the unobserved data of inert neutrinos or to rediscover a new dark matter particle.

It is conceivable that the two largest and largest scientific research equipment ever built in the history of human science will continue to invest a huge amount of manpower and material resources to be the first to open the door to the new world.

For Xu Chuan, these things do not need to be arranged and handled by him personally, and someone from the CRHPC organization will naturally help to deal with them.

As for himself, during the early preparation time for the dark matter detection experiment, he has been staying in his office to perfect the most important paper in his entire physics career.

That is, "Void Field Theory".

From the relevant concepts proposed a few years ago to the "high-energy quark cluster, gluon and void field breaking effect theory" that was later disassembled when verifying the strong electric unified theory.

And now, the void field theory has gradually improved in his constant thinking.

Although it will take some time before this paper is officially released to the public, it can at least help a lot in the exploration of dark matter.

Just like the standard model predicts fermions, bosons, Higgs particles, W and Z bosons, and the mass of fermions.

Void field theory also contains a lot of things, such as inert neutrinos, dark matter particles, void fields, gravity and other things.

To include all these things in a set of theories, it requires not only a very deep understanding of cutting-edge physics, but also one's own cognition of the entire universe and advanced mathematical ability.

Perhaps many people will find it strange that in their minds, it is necessary to have mathematics to imagine and construct their own cognition and concepts of the universe. Isn't it enough to be logical and reasonable?

But for science, especially for physics, a successful new theory must be mathematically self-consistent and able to explain experimental phenomena.

Mathematics provides tools for accurately describing and predicting natural phenomena, while physical laws usually need to be expressed in mathematical formulas.

Of course, this does not necessarily require that all physical theories must be explained by mathematics before they appear.

For physics, there are many theories that first discover phenomena and then explain such physical phenomena through mathematics.

This situation is not uncommon.

Generally speaking, for the development of science, experimental phenomena\u003e mathematical rigor\u003e explanation of experimental phenomena ≥ clear physical meaning.

This does not mean that mathematics is more important than experiments, but because we can never explain all experimental phenomena at the same time.

Therefore, we need to adjust the priority of experiments to a later time, first construct a rigorous theory that can explain some experimental phenomena, and then gradually expand the scope of the theory to include more and more phenomena.

In this process of generalization, sometimes in order to explain some new phenomena, rigor will be temporarily relaxed, but the general trend is to explain new phenomena under the premise of ensuring rigor.

If this priority is reversed, there is an extreme case of "religion".

The reason is very simple. For most religions, the theories within religion can explain all phenomena. As long as there is a god, it is enough. God created everything.

But obviously, it is not rigorous at all and is contrary to science.

Of course, in addition to these, there are some theories that are not complete in mathematics but very successful in physics.

For example, Haag's theorem, no one has been able to construct a QFT field theory that meets the most basic requirements in 4 dimensions, but it is a mathematics that is completely applicable to supersymmetric theory and plays an important role in supersymmetric theory.

Although up to now, the superheap theory has not been proven to be true.

But it is undeniable that the physics community has relatively widely accepted this theory.

Just as Xu Chuan was preparing to separate the part about dark matter prediction from the void field theory to guide the next inert neutrino and dark matter detection.

The CRHPC circular super particle collider under his feet was also preparing for the next experiment.

Although the controlled nuclear fusion reactor provides a steady stream of energy for the collider, every experiment of the large-scale strong particle collider is not that simple.

For example, the pipeline of the collider needs to be maintained after each experiment, and the detector that detects the experimental data generated after the collision with the mobile phone high-energy particles is even more important.

After all, the damage caused by the collision of high-energy particles is more powerful than the plasma in the chamber of the controlled nuclear fusion reactor.

Of course, talking about toxicity without considering the magnitude is just a hooligan.

But it is undeniable that the radiation damage of high-energy particle rays to materials is permanent.

The higher the energy level of the collision experiment, the greater the impact it will have on pipelines, detectors and other equipment, the longer it will take for inspection and maintenance, and the higher the cost.

This is not only a problem on the CRHPC side, but also a problem on the CERN side.

In early June, after the hard work of thousands of engineers and staff, the CRHPC Ring Super Particle Collider was finally ready to start its next experiment.

In the conference room of the headquarters building, Director Tai Xuewen, the vice chairman of the CRHPC Institutional Council, completed the work arrangements and confirmed that further detection experiments of sterile neutrinos will be officially launched in three days.

Since Xu Chuan first observed this particle beyond the Standard Model at CERN in 2017, this will be the second time that the physics community has opened the Large Strong Particle Collider on a large scale to explore its traces.

The goal this time is obviously to find the other half of the sterile neutrinos that is still in the fog, which also represents the half of the properties of dark matter.

After announcing the dissolution of the meeting, the scholars and engineers from various countries in the conference room also left the room one after another.

After clearing away the meeting reports on the table, Tai Xuewen called out to Lin Feng who was about to leave.

"Lin Feng, what have Academician Xu been doing these past two days? He didn't even come to the launch meeting of the sterile neutrino collision experiment today?"

If he hadn't known that Xu Chuan was still with the CRHPC organization, Tai Xuewen would have almost thought that he had left.

Even today's important meeting such as the launch meeting of the sterile neutrino collision detection experiment was chaired by him on his behalf.

Although he has always been helping to handle the work of CRHPC, Xu Chuan is nominally the real chairman of the CRHPC Board of Directors.

Logically speaking, a meeting of this level should be chaired by him personally.

Upon hearing Tai Xuewen's inquiry, Lin Feng shook his head in confusion and said, "I don't know."

After a slight pause, he continued: "I only know that he said that he will do some research recently and asked me not to disturb him. As for what he is doing specifically, I really don't know."

Hearing this, Tai Xuewen rubbed his temples with a headache and said: "Let's go and take a look. The collision detection experiment of sterile neutrinos still needs his leadership. It cannot be like the previous verification work of the unified theory of strong electricity. , be the hands-off shopkeeper."

Although for other countries, and even some scholars in China, it would definitely be a good thing if Xu Chuan did not participate in the sterile neutrino detection experiment.

After all, it can significantly reduce the pressure of competition.

Even though the Kadra dark matter detected by CERN is not a real dark matter particle, or has not been truly recognized by the physics community, the honorary title of being the first to detect dark matter is still waiting to be picked.

If Xu Chuan, the discoverer of sterile neutrinos, is missing, it will definitely be a good thing for other scholars who want to compete for this honor.

But for China, the situation is different.

When the CRHPC ring super particle collider is built in China, it is really unjustifiable to allow scholars from other countries to take away the honor of discovering dark matter for the first time.

At that time, I am afraid that neither the CRHPC organization nor the Chinese Physical Society will be able to make reports to the higher authorities.

After all, the motherland invested more than 100 billion in real money to build the collider.

From the perspective of the CRHPC institution, Tai Xuewen still hopes that Xu Chuan can shoulder the responsibility of detecting dark matter particles for the first time, and he does not want this honor to fall into the hands of other countries.

Office of the Chairman.

Following in the footsteps of Tai Xuewen, Lin Feng also came to Xu Chuan.

Knocking on the door, a voice of "please come in" came soon from inside.

The two opened the door and walked in, and saw Xu Chuan sitting behind the desk typing on the keyboard.

"Academician Xu, the sterile neutrino collision experiment in June has been arranged. This time we will launch three large detectors, the dark matter detector, the large conventional superconducting ring field detector and the kinetic energy trajectory tracking detector for the first time. Capturing collision signals.”

In the office, Tai Xuewen put the meeting minutes in his hand on the table and gently pushed them over.

Stopping what he was doing, Xu Chuan touched the meeting minutes on the table, took out a signature pen after scanning it twice, signed his name at the end of the document and pushed it back.

"I understand, just carry out the experiment as planned."

"in addition."

As he spoke, he bent down and opened the drawer, took out a document from it, and handed it over.

"Regarding the detection experiment of sterile neutrinos, you should find someone to build a mathematical model based on the above theory. Subsequent analysis work can be promoted through this model, and the problem should not be big."

"What's this?"

With a slightly confused look on his face, Tai Xuewen picked up the documents handed over by Xu Chuan from his desk and started to read them.

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "About the prediction and analysis of some signal data of sterile neutrinos in high-energy level collision experiments."

"Building a mathematical model through the theories and data in this report should be able to help you save a lot of time and energy when analyzing collision data."

Upon hearing this, Tai Xuewen shifted his gaze from the document in his hand to Xu Chuan sitting opposite. He had some bad premonitions in his heart and couldn't help but ask.

"What are you doing? Are you not going to participate in the next inert neutrino collision experiment?"

From the current situation, isn't this exactly the same as the previous verification of the important predicted coupling constant in the strong electric unified theory? The person in front of him may be preparing to be a hands-off shopkeeper and give up again.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Not really, but I will not participate in the specific data analysis related work. You do these tasks, and I will help you check them at the end."

It's not that he doesn't want to participate in the inert neutrino detection experiment, but compared to this result that has been confirmed in his previous life, he now has a more important work on his hands that has entered a critical node.

Hearing this, Tai Xuewen suddenly felt a headache.

Sure enough, his premonition was right again. The person in front of him really didn't plan to participate in the next inert neutrino detection experiment.

Taking a deep breath, Tai Xuewen said helplessly: "But if you don't participate, we really don't know what's going on."

"This is currently the most likely first particle of dark matter, and the only particle that has been verified to be beyond the standard model."

"The glory of discovering it, I think we should do our best to stay in the CRHPC organization and in China."

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, there will be no problem."

After a slight pause, he continued: "And I will take the lead in participating, which is actually similar to this arrangement. Don't worry, I will not leave here before the experimental results of the inert neutrino come out."

"If there are any problems during the collision experiment, you can come to me at any time."

What he gave out was the analytical mathematical model of the discovery of the inert neutrino in his previous life. As long as this model is followed, there will be no loopholes in the analysis of the collision experiment data of the inert neutrino.

And in fact, at his current level, it is unlikely that he will personally lead the team to do various data analysis work as before.

Nowadays, it is more about rising from the local to the whole, controlling the overall process and some key links.

And these things are not irreplaceable for them who have now cultivated a group of theoretical physics talents.

There is no problem in verifying the predicted coupling constant of the strong electric unified theory.

Compared with the detection experiment of inert neutrinos, the void field theory, which has progressed to a key node, is more worthy of his time and energy.

If this theory is successfully completed, it may completely break the entire physics community's understanding of the universe and time and space.

And this is what Xu Chuan is looking forward to more.
