"What, what do you see in this data?"

Professor Brian looked at Liu Feng suspiciously.

"My gut tells me that there might be a new particle in there. ”

Liu Feng nodded, but sighed heavily in his heart.

If Huaguo can also have its own super collider, why would he go to the new particles he observed?

"Intuition?"

Professor Brian also saw the small protrusion on the picture, however, he smiled, it was a familiar intuition!

In fact, physicists can only really understand 1% of all the signals generated by the collision of proton beams in the collider, and many times, before the collision experiment begins, they first speculate on the experimental conclusion, and then verify the conclusion through targeted experiments.

Therefore, the data that they really need to pay attention to is actually only 1%, if all the experimental signals are analyzed, not to mention the problem of efficiency, is there so much manpower?

Also, in some cases, some special signal can be observed on the detector of the collider, but the data reflected on the statistical image is likely to be just some 'noise'.

In the past, Brian had seen a lot of work for the "noise", and even he had been deceived by these things, but as the experiment became more and more exposed, he gave up, because it was definitely a thankless job, and there was so much "noise" in it!

You know, the data collected in each experiment is almost as high as tens or hundreds of gigabytes, and it takes at least thousands of physicists to work for ten days and a half months to figure it out.

When manpower is poor, trying to analyze all the remaining 99% or more of the 'noise' is definitely not a task that can be done by one or two people, even if all the physicists and mathematicians in the world are combined!

"Well, this data is generally archived, but it has no reference value, if you really need it, I can give you a copy, anyway, it's not confidential, but this kind of unpublished experimental data, if you want to use it to cite in the paper, it's impossible. ”

Professor Brian generously copied the content of these data, and even copied the data of these similar energy regions to Liu Feng from the previous experiment.

"I still have to kindly remind you, instead of wasting your energy on these 'noises', it is better to take care of your spirits and wait for tomorrow's Higgs Dice data, after all, there were many people who were interested in your things before, but in the end they basically gave up helplessly, thankless......"

Seeing this, Senior Brother Guo on the side also opened his mouth to persuade: "Senior brother, Professor Brian is right, this is indeed a thankless task. I've had the same idea as you before, and I've done research on a piece of data, but ......"

Speaking of this, Senior Brother Guo spread his hands.

"Anyway, I will be idle in the future, and I can also process data when I have time, which is also a happy thing. ”

Taking the USB flash drive from Professor Brian's hand, Liu Feng thanked the two for their kindness, shook his head, and said with a smile.

It may be just some noise for you, but for me, it's real proof!

If he hadn't miscalculated, the data in his hand would have been the legendary 5-quark particle full of fog like the Higgs boson.

The singular particles, which have been predicted in the field of the Standard Model, are the same as the Higgs boson, which is beyond the Standard Model, and are particles that high-energy physicists have been searching for for decades and have not yet found!

Previously, at the Beijing Positron Collider, Professor Ding had proved the existence of 6 quark particles, plus the 4 quark particles, which had already been proven by the physics community, and only this 5 quark particle had not been proved.

If the last link of the singular particles of the Standard Model is completed by himself, it will be an encouraging thing for both him and the high-energy physics community in China.

Seeing Liu Feng's resolute meaning, Senior Brother Guo could only shake his head helplessly.

Professor Brian also shook his head, he still didn't understand that this guy couldn't listen to persuasion anymore, thinking to himself that this was a young man, he didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back, he didn't touch the wall a few times, and he always didn't know how thick the sky was.

……

Now that the data is in hand, it's a matter of what to do with it.

In fact, to be honest, Liu Feng is not completely sure whether it can really be handled.

First of all, starting with the theory of quantum chromodynamics, there is indeed too little theoretical support for what has not yet been proven, and then, from a statistical point of view, the number of samples here seems to be too small - whether it can be successful or not depends on whether the data is sensitive or not.

To tell the truth, the European hadron collider is indeed more than ten times more advanced than the positron collider in China, whether it is the intensity of the collision energy or the sensitivity of the detection instrument, it is not comparable to the small guy of several hundred tons in China, at least, the big guy weighing more than 6,000 tons of CERN, did not disappoint Liu Feng.

The data given by Professor Brian contains the data of the previous collision experiments, and in addition to a certain map, other data maps can see the existence of this small protrusion in this energy area; as for the domestic collider, Liu Feng has never seen this signal, after all, although the new Beijing spectrometer detector is sensitive, it has just been built, and only one experiment has been done, and the key monitoring energy area is not in this range......

After coming out of Professor Brian's lab, Liu Feng devoted himself to the analysis and processing of these data.

The next day, however, the Hadron Collider restarted experiments to find the Higgs boson.

Speaking of which, it was also a minute on stage, and the real formal experiment time only took half a day, but for the preparation of this experiment, CERN spent more than half a year!

Moreover, this time, more than 6,000 high-energy physics researchers have gathered to work on the processing of data.

Among them, of course, including Liu Feng and other high-energy physicists in China, almost everyone can find their own space for existence!

Liu Feng also had to sigh, if there is another place on the earth where so many physicists can gather, I am afraid that there is nowhere else but this small 'mountain village'.

By about 5 or 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the experiment was completed, but dozens of kilometers away at CERN headquarters, there was no expected cheer.

Judging from the data fed back by each detector, the confidence level of the captured particles between 100TeV and 200TeV is basically below 3sigma, which is nothing more than a blow to those in charge.

Although they had been prepared for this before the experiment began, they were disappointed when the speculative things did not live up to their estimates.

Over the years, 61 of the 62 elementary particles predicted by the particle physics model of the Standard Model have been supported and verified by experimental data, and it seems that the Standard Model is about to win a decisive victory, and the exploration of the microstructure of matter has reached its end, and it seems that mankind is about to hear the finale of this up-and-down, high-rise and colorful exploration movement.

But if the Higgs particle is not found, it proves that our Standard Model still has loopholes, and quantum chromodynamics may not be correct, and this ghostly particle will destroy the entire edifice of the Standard Model!

At that point, it will mean that decades of human efforts in this area will be in vain!

"Guys, don't be discouraged, maybe after the data is processed, it will appear somewhere else?"

The head of CERN comforted.

At this moment, his heart is even more uncomfortable, repeated failures have made the outside world doubt his ability, this time he stubbornly excluded the person in charge of country M, not to mention, there are so many guys in the outside world who oppose LHCb...... These people must already be cheering!

There was no press conference, no celebration banquet, and everything that followed seemed to be very heavy.

Of course, this time it has little to do with Liu Feng and them, they just need to do their own thing.

"Xiao Guo, Xiao Liu, that's the task, we only have half a month to process this data, so, come on!"

Boss Wang puffed up his strength and assigned the task.

And Liu Feng and Senior Brother Guo can only accept it.

This time, there were only three people in their team, because Yu Fengbai and Chen Mengxue had already returned to Professor Ding's team.

So, during the day, in addition to dealing with the tasks assigned by Boss Wang, at night, Liu Feng returned to the hotel to deal with the data obtained from Professor Brian, and the whole person seemed to have returned to the old life of forgetting to sleep and eat.
