"It's too dangerous to rush to increase the energy level of the experiment to 8Tev! The LHC has just undergone its first experiment! The function has not yet been tested, what if something goes wrong?"

"I think this experiment can start with 4 Tev and then slowly ramp up to 5 Tev, and if the Higgs boson has not been found by then, we will consider increasing the energy level to 8 Tev. ”

"I'm also leaning towards gradually increasing the energy level! After all, the purpose of the LHC is not just to detect the Higgs boson! There are many projects waiting to use the LHC!"

In the conference room of the team responsible for formulating the experimental plan, there were many debates, and some directly questioned the origin of Lu Qiujian's 8Tev energy level!

Lu Qiujian had already expected the suspicion and disdain of what he had encountered! This kind of thing does not only exist in China, but also in the NBA rookies have to carry bags and buy takeaways for old players! In Bayern Munich's locker room, veteran players like Kahn obviously have more say than rookies such as Schweinsteiger!

What's more, experimental physics is a very empirical field, in the field of theoretical physics, there may still be scientists like Einstein and de Broglie who have made great achievements at a young age, but in the field of experimental physics, most of the guys like Lu Qiujian's grade can only help with low-level work such as data analysis and equipment maintenance. You want to be involved in the decision-making of the protocol, unless you are a core sponsor of the lab.

However, CERN's funding comes from various member states, and Lu Qiujian is not a representative of Germany and France, which are the main providers of funds, so why should people easily accept his opinion?

If it weren't for his previous contributions to data analytics and his gamble with Evans, he wouldn't have been qualified to join the discussion.

"Although the discovery of the Higgs boson is not the only purpose of the LHC, it is the most anticipated discovery at present!" Lu Qiujian did not seem to be affected by the atmosphere of the scene, and still expressed his opinions in a relaxed tone. "If we fail again and again, will the Member States still support it as strongly as they do now? Will they consider re-examining the CERN budget, will they consider reducing investment, will they even readjust the composition of CERN?"

It is true that scientific experiments are not always possible to produce results, but after a large amount of investment is made, and there is never a single result, the top management of CERN will also feel the pressure, right? It seems that it is natural to adjust the position of some people under pressure!

Lu Qiujian put the cruel truth in front of them, and the quarrel in the conference room slowly disappeared, where there was the best equipment, the best partners, and the most abundant funds in the world. As long as people want to develop in the scientific community, they are reluctant to leave here; if they really can't make achievements for a long time, as Lu Qiujian said, when the personnel are adjusted, will what they are saying now become the basis for the personnel adjustment?

Evans rubbed his temples, in the past few days since Lu Qiujian left, he and several core personnel had gone through many exchanges, and they still preferred to gradually increase their energy level. He originally had this idea, but when he remembered Lu Qiujian's determined expression when he made a bet with him, he hesitated for a while!

If according to the existing plan. I'm afraid it won't be a year before I raise the energy level to 8Tev! If I can't do anything for a year, will I still be sitting here safely?

Evans has been at CERN for more than 30 years, and has been working on the LHC for more than 10 years, and it has taken him half a lifetime to finally see the LHC perfectly presented in front of all high-energy physicists.

If, after he left his post, someone else led the experiment to discover the Higgs boson, I am afraid that he would regret swallowing alive the LHC model that CERN gave him last month.

"Dr. Evans! All of the construction work at the LHC was done in your sight! Can the LHC complete the 8Tev experiment?" Lu Qiujian couldn't help but ask when he saw that he was silent for a while.

"Absolutely no problem!" replied Evans categorically. It is true that the LHC was in trouble, and during the more than 10 years of construction, there were many uncontrollable situations, such as the sudden fall of the crane that caused the three workers to return to the arms of God, such as the liquid nitrogen leak that occurred when it was about to be completed, and it took more than 50 million US dollars to make up for this mistake. For example

But Evans' confidence in the LHC has never wavered, as evidenced by the smooth operation of the LHC during the last 3.5Tev test, in which the LHC function was very stable, except that the Higgs boson was not found, everything was satisfactory, and of course it would have been nice if the representatives of France and Switzerland had not muttered about the power consumption in front of them!

In accordance with the design requirements of LHC. The energy level of the collision experiment can even reach 13Tev or even 14Tev, and if necessary, the energy level can be continued to be increased through equipment upgrades.

It's a pity that Lu Qiujian is still too young after all! Evans couldn't help but sigh, even if he was the direct person in charge of the LHC project, if the people below were against Lu Qiujian's plan, he would not be able to rashly express his support for Lu Qiujian.

At the end of the day, CERN is a multi-country project, with people from each member state and a bit more difficult to manage.

"That's all for today's discussion! Let's go back and think about it, and we'll continue the discussion tomorrow!" Dr. Evans rubbed his temples and reluctantly procrastinated.

After the rattling of tables and chairs, the project team members who participated in the meeting left the conference room in twos and threes, and the place was quiet again.

"Lu, aren't you leaving? I'm afraid I'll miss dinner if you don't leave!I've traveled around the world to collider centers, and I haven't found a better chef than CERN!" Evans tried to make himself look relaxed.

What he said is indeed true, the quality of CERN's food is almost not as famous in the high-energy physics world as the LHC! But how can Lu Qiujian have the heart to taste these now?

If the Higgs boson is not discovered before the deadline for Nobel Prize nominations, then Higgs will not be able to win this year, and the time for him to accumulate prestige will be delayed, which is unacceptable to him! )
