Chapter 308 Particles that break the Standard Model!
"Xu, this time, can you come to CERN to participate in the press conference?"
During the phone call, David Gross solemnly invited: "CERN will make this great discovery public, and you are the discoverer of sterile neutrinos and the builder of related theories. If you are absent from this press conference, , that would be the biggest regret.”
Xu Chuan smiled and shook his head and declined: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gross. Due to some personal reasons, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to CERN to attend this press conference. It's a pity that I missed such an opportunity."
CERN is in Geneva, Switzerland. At present, Switzerland has a good reputation. It is a permanently neutral country and seems to be very safe.
But Xu Chuan knows what tricks Switzerland can play in the future.
Permanent neutrality is nothing more than a joke and can be revoked and withdrawn at any time.
Based on his current situation, it is not impossible to go abroad as long as he does not go to the United States or a few countries in the Maple Leaf Kingdom, but that is a very troublesome matter. He has to communicate with his superiors and make plans in advance.
As for a press conference, let's forget it. It's not worth bothering the country to protect him.
Moreover, even if he doesn't go, who can deny that he is the discoverer of sterile neutrinos?
No one can deny it.
The so-called regrets, if you look at it, are just dispensable to him.
Xu Chuan did not persuade Gross to hold the press conference in China this time, because it was not realistic.
The last time the 3sigma confidence level sterile neutrino was released in China, it was already a big deal. This time it has been completely confirmed that it was discovered using CERN's Large Strong Particle Collider LHC. Cern will not miss this opportunity.
This is not only Xu Chuan's glory, but also their glory.
On the other hand, with the discovery of sterile neutrinos this time, CERN has the capital to ask for more scientific research funds from various countries and plan to upgrade the Large Strong Particle Collider LHC.
This is a good thing for physicists all over the world.
Colliders with stronger performance will help discover more unknown phenomena and particles, and help scientists understand more about the universe and truth.
If it can help the entire physics community move forward, Xu Chuan actually doesn't mind where he holds this press conference, which is optional for him.
"That's such a pity. If you can't come to the report meeting, no matter how grand we make the report meeting, it won't be perfect." David Gross shook his head and said.
After a pause, he continued: "If you can't come to attend the report meeting, at least please arrange for a representative to come over. He can answer some questions on your behalf."
Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "That's no problem. I can arrange for someone to go there."
Gross: "That would be great. In addition, do you have any good ideas or suggestions about the structure diagram of sterile neutrinos or pictures that can be made public? CERN can work with you to draw this picture worthy of historical commemoration. pictures.”
Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment and said: "I'm really good at this. I'll sort it out later and send it to you via email."
Gross smiled and said: "Then I'll wait for your news"
In mid-October, media reporters from all over the world were invited to the CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.
Chen Zhengping, who got out of the taxi and came to attend the press conference on behalf of his students, glanced at the statue of Shiva standing in front of the CERN center building.
Sterile neutrinos have been confirmed to exist, with a confidence level of 5.2sigma.
This news swept the entire world like a Martian storm.
Although he had been mentally prepared when he was doing data analysis for Xu Chuan, when the news came, he still couldn't help but feel excited.
A particle beyond the standard model, an ion that may connect mysterious dark matter and dark energy, and a particle that opens up the future of physics.
Without too much trouble or too much research, he was easily found by his student and confirmed its real existence.
The whole process went so smoothly it was unbelievable.
"My old friend, welcome to your arrival, glad to see you again."
In front of the center building, an old man with a white beard opened his arms enthusiastically and hugged Chen Zhengping.
"I've kept you waiting." Chen Zhengping smiled and hugged the friend in front of him. The person in front of him was Professor Francois Engler, the 2013 Nobel Prize winner in physics.
At that time, the greatest discovery in physics was undoubtedly the confirmation of the Higgs particle, and Francois Engler and Peter Higgs were the ones who proposed the prediction of the Higgs boson.
Engler smiled like Santa Claus and said: "Where is your student Professor Xu Chuan? Didn't he come with you?"
Chen Zhengping shook his head and said: "He has something to do temporarily and I'm afraid he won't be able to attend this press conference."
Engler was stunned for a moment and said regretfully: "That's such a pity. The discovery and confirmation of sterile neutrinos was all his work, but he didn't come to the press conference. It's such a pity. I originally wanted to I want to ask him a lot of questions." Chen Zhengping smiled and said, "Yes, but for him, a press conference is nothing. As for asking questions, you might want to go to China. ?”
Engler touched his beard, thought for a while and sighed: "Maybe it's just like you said. It's nothing to him. The discovery of sterile neutrinos is just one of his huge treasures. Just a treasure.”
"Mathematics, physics, materials, astronomy. Each of his achievements can be called great, enough for an ordinary scholar to study for a lifetime."
After a pause, he then smiled and said: "Maybe I should consider your suggestion and go to China to chat with him. The emergence of sterile neutrinos has allowed the entire physics community to see that the future of the world is no longer limited to the standard model."
Hearing this, Chen Zhengping also sighed.
This student of his is indeed a bit too evil.
Not to mention that different achievements can be made in different fields every year, the key is these achievements, the seven millennium problems in mathematics, the Nobel Prize in physics, the artificial SEI film in the field of materials, and the calculation methods in astronomy , Reuse of nuclear waste in the field of nuclear energy.
Each of these achievements can be said to be epic.
Geneva, under the central building of CERN.
Media from all over the world have gathered here, and the empty square under the building is packed with all kinds of cameras and reporters.
All the media reporters are moving towards the front. All the media reporters want to be the first to enter and occupy the most advantageous position. No matter how much the staff who maintain discipline shout and maintain discipline, it is useless.
In the main hall of the press conference, Chen Zhengping, wearing a suit, looked at the crowded crowd outside.
There are not only media reporters from all over the world, but also many ordinary people who believe in sterile neutrinos, or dark matter and dark energy, are also crowding in.
To be honest, such scenes are rare in the physics world.
After all, cutting-edge physics is too far away from ordinary people's lives. Most ordinary people are at most familiar with the results of cutting-edge physics.
Looking at the crazy crowd, Chen Zhengping was even a little worried that the door of the central building would be broken down by them.
Fortunately, the press conference started soon.
At NTU, Xu Chuan squatted in his office and watched the live broadcast captured by CTV media on his computer. On the other side of the office, two of his students were also watching the press conference, each with a mobile phone.
Such a heavyweight result is a new particle that breaks the standard model and involves dark matter. No country will miss it.
At ten o'clock sharp, the press conference on sterile neutrinos started on time.
David Gross, chairman of the CERN Board of Governors, wearing a suit, walked onto the podium.
"First of all, welcome to all the media reporters and viewers who are interested in the press conference. I am David Gross, Chairman of the CERN Council."
"Today's press conference will be chaired by me."
Before David Gross finished speaking, another voice sounded from the audience.
"President Gross, is Professor Xu Chuanxu here? Will he take the stage today to explain his theoretical findings?" a reporter from the audience shouted.
This is not the first time David Gross has hosted a press conference at CERN, and he is very relaxed in dealing with such situations.
"I'm sorry that due to some personal reasons, Professor Xu is unable to attend this press conference."
"However, he has given full authority to contact CERN. We will give a detailed introduction to the relevant data of sterile neutrinos. As for some questions after the completion of the relevant reports, academician Chen Zhengping, the representative arranged by Professor Xu, will answer them on his behalf."< br>
CERN explained the discovery results of sterile neutrinos and some related physical properties. Chen Zhengping answered questions from some media reporters on behalf of Xu Chuan. This was a decision made by Xu Chuan after the exchange with CERN.
It took about half an hour, David Gross gave a detailed report on the discovery of sterile neutrinos, and also showed the relevant Daritz diagram and a picture from CERN combined with Xu Chuan to the media reporters A diagram of the 'sterile neutrinos' made from the comments.
This diagram of sterile neutrinos is very interesting. It is different from other particle structure diagrams displayed by CERN in the past.
It is only half of it, and the other side is hidden against the dark background of the universe.
This means that humans can currently only observe part of the information about sterile neutrinos, and the rest is still an unsolved mystery for the physics community.
No one knows whether the unobservable part of it is connected to dark matter, dark energy, or other cosmic matter.
