Chapter 279 Are you going back to China?
At this point, Academician Yang has already taken the USB flash drive to the office of Professor Collins, the head of CMS.
Seeing the tired look on Academician Yang's face, Professor Collins said: "Yang, to be honest, it's time for you to relax."
Academician Yang handed over the object in his hand and said, "Professor Collins, you'd better take a look at this first."
"I'm curious about what makes you so anxious." Professor Collins took the USB drive, opened the only file inside, and looked at the content, his expression gradually becoming serious.
10 minutes passed.
"Incredible." Professor Collins exclaimed, "This was actually done by a young man!"
Academician Yang nodded slightly and said: "I took a rough look and there is nothing wrong with the calculation."
"It seems that our experiment will have another amazing result this time."
Professor Collins was a little excited. The LHC headquarters has limited funds for each laboratory. One more result means more funds can be obtained.
"Now, we have to organize people to verify the report immediately."
"That's right, that's right."
On September 20, the CMS experiment ended and the two-day report meeting officially began.
In the stepped lecture hall.
The seats are already full, and most of the attendees are scholars from various universities and major research institutes.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Professor Collins walked up to the podium in front: "Sir and girls, welcome to this meeting. First of all, we have to thank the cooperative groups who participated in the experiment with applause."
"Here we see more exciting experimental results regarding the discovery of the Higgs particle."
"The two-photon channel measures the mass of the Higgs particle and the ratio of the production cross section to the theoretical prediction. The results are consistent with the standard model within the error range."
"."
"But that's not all we achieved."
After a pause, Professor Collins looked in the direction of Xu Qingzhou and continued: "Xu Qingzhou from the Xia Guo Group analyzed the extracted top quark pairs and successfully verified the existence of the coupling between the Higgs particle and the top quark pair. ”
"What?!"
"The coupling between the Higgs particle and the top quark pair exists?"
Except for the cooperation team and LHC staff, everyone else was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed.
In Xia Guo's position, Zhang Changqing sighed heavily. From the moment he received the call from his boss, he finally understood why Xu Qingzhou asked him to turn up the phone volume.
The other members of Xia Guo's group also had emotions on their faces.
"Yes, it is the verification of the coupling between the Higgs particle and the top quark pair. Let us give this round of applause to this young man who created miracles."
Xu Qingzhou looked calm and nodded slightly. He had seen this kind of scene many times, so he was not nervous at all.
After Professor Collins finished his opening remarks, it was time for the cooperation group to report.
The first person to take the stage was of course Academician Yang, who mainly talked about the multi-variable method of identifying photons in the experiment.
Professor Baker also shared the mass measurement of the Higgs particle, as well as other team members’ statistical analysis and statistical models, etc.
In the first session of the afternoon, it was Xu Qingzhou’s turn.
"While doing background analysis, I discovered an interesting phenomenon."
Xu Qingzhou said: "We all know that the Higgs particle then decays into two photons, and the sum of the energies of these two photons will correspond to the mass of the Higgs boson. In the energy spectrum, this energy and nearby may An obvious resonance peak appears.”
While speaking, he felt a strange gaze, very fiery, the kind that went beyond the desire for knowledge.
Looking over, he saw its owner.
Xu Qingzhou couldn't help but pause, thinking that it would be better to return home as soon as possible.
Mia nodded, put away her scorching gaze, and had only one sentence in her mind: Well, yes, this boy has excellent genes!
Next, Xu Qingzhou explained in detail his calculation process, including calculating the scattering amplitude and scattering cross section, and using advanced algorithms and technologies to suppress background noise and improve the purity of the signal.
Looking at Xu Qingzhou on the stage, Zhang Changqing sighed. Some time ago, he was comforting Junior Sister Chen, telling her not to be so stressed, but now it was his turn.
Junior brother is simply awesome to the point of being unscientific.
After 40 minutes, the report ended and applause broke out in the staircase hall.
Xu Qingzhou smiled softly and didn't feel too proud. He did have some luck in getting this done. If he hadn't accidentally seen the formant, he probably wouldn't have tried to study it.
There are no restrictions in the exchange meeting. Everyone can form teams freely. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, after answering various questions, Xu Qingzhou finally got away and was able to rest in the corner. Just after sitting for a while, Professor Baker came over.
"Mr. Xu, to be honest, you are one of the most talented young people I have ever seen."
"Thank you." Xu Qingzhou smiled.
"If you are willing, I can provide you with a recommendation letter from the University of California, Berkeley. Sorry, this is my alma mater, so I put it first. Other schools, such as Princeton and MIT, are fine."
Professor Baker paused and said slowly: "As long as you are willing, we can help you solve the green card issue and even the nationality issue."
Xu Qingzhou shook his head and said: "Sorry, Professor Baker, at this stage, I have no plans to study abroad."
This is not surprising. Most countries in the world value talents, and green cards and nationality are the most basic conditions.
"If you have other requests, feel free to mention them. You know, compared to Xia Kingdom, a person can fully develop his talents in a freer soil." Professor Baker said without giving up.
"I'm sorry, I love the place where I live and have no thoughts of immigrating." Xu Qingzhou shook his head.
"I still hope you will seriously consider it."
Seeing Xu Qingzhou's resolute attitude, Professor Baker had no choice but to leave first and had other things at hand. Before leaving, he said: "Xu, if you change your mind, you can contact me via email."
Academician Yang noticed the situation here, but he had just analyzed the data for other scholars, and now he finally had the opportunity to come over. He smiled and joked, "Are you going back to China?"
Xu Qingzhou was helpless: "If I could, I would fly back now."
"You kid, you are now the talk of the LHC."
Academician Yang smiled and sighed, Xu Qingzhou is only 19 years old, and his future prospects are limitless.
"If it weren't for the fact that I already have a lot of students and no energy, I would really like to ask you if you want to enroll as a graduate student here. However, if you want, you can study with Academician Lin."
"Mr. Lin?" Xu Qingzhou was surprised.
Academician Lin Jinpeng, one of the founders of the field of quantum information communication and a great figure, Xu Qingzhou has gone to ask for advice before.
"Well, I don't need to say more about Academician Lin's status in the quantum field. Many physicists active today are his students."
If it were before, Xu Qingzhou would have agreed long ago, but now this aspect has been brushed up in his previous life.
Xu Qingzhou said: "Academician Yang, I haven't even written my graduation thesis yet."
"You boy."
Academician Yang smiled and did not force it, and said: "Okay, you think about it yourself. I see that you have already bought a ticket for tomorrow, don't you plan to have fun here?"
"No, go home early."
On September 21, the CMS cooperation group announced the success of the experiment.
LHC, as the world's most powerful hadron collider, its experiments have naturally attracted the attention of countless scientific researchers.
Of course, in addition to the scientific community, those who pay attention to experiments include media such as Agence France-Presse.
After all, the LHC, as a model of human cooperative scientific research, belongs to Europe's glory.
In major reports, Xu Qingzhou once again became the focus of attention.
【19-year-old reporter of LHC】
[Shocked, this Xia man has created a miracle! 】
There are endless weird titles.
In India, a young man who had just stayed up late to calculate came out of the office. While breathing some air, he turned on his mobile phone to read messages from his friends.
If Xu Qingzhou were here, he would definitely recognize this person as the Indian guy he met in Cambridge last time.
"Is this Xu Qingzhou?"
Their previous plan was theoretically possible to prove the Polignac conjecture, but it was indeed too troublesome, at least not possible with current technology.
Therefore, in the past few months, their team has been revising the plan and has achieved promising results.
"Huh ~ this time, the honor will definitely be ours!"
The Indian guy took a deep breath and turned back to the office.
At the same time, while the academic circles and various gossip media were reveling and marveling, Xu Qingzhou had already boarded the plane back home.
