Chapter 244: The Experiment Begins

"Lu, it's nice to see you again!" Higgs looked serious, the importance of this experiment to him was self-evident, so much so that he was so nervous that he couldn't even squeeze out a smile now.

Witten's face was complicated, as if he was depressed that his theory had not been tested experimentally, and in the past, Hawking used his unique electronic voice to argue with Dyson, "I still think that the Higgs boson is impossible to be discovered, I don't believe we can bet!"

"Xiao Lu, come and let me take you to meet a few domestic colleagues!" This is Director Chen of the High Energy Institute, he brought Lu Qiujian to several Chinese people, "This is Professor Wang from the University of Science and Technology, this is Professor Liu from Lu University, This is Professor Wu from Jinling University, and the group of the three of them belongs to the ATLAS experimental group like me, hehe, you have already met Professor Qi from Beijing Normal University, his group and another group of our institute are members of the CMS experimental group, Professor Mu from Hubei Normal University, who is currently working under the Alice experimental group, and Professor Sun of Shuimu University, who is involved in the LHCb experiment. ”

"Hello seniors, it's a pleasure to meet you at CERN!" There are about 7,000 scientists from 80 countries working and researching here at CERN, and of course, Chinese scientists are indispensable.

"I really envy such a scene! I don't know when Huaguo will be able to gather so many scientists!" said Professor Sun of Mizuki University, looking at the scientists gathered around him.

"As long as there is a bigger collider, I'm not afraid that they won't come!" Professor Wu of Jinling University rolled his eyes and squeezed to Director Chen's side, "Eh, I heard that you have submitted a report to apply for the construction of the world's largest collider, don't forget us when it is approved!"

"I don't know how long it will be in the future!" Director Chen said twice, the report had already been typed, but with such a huge amount of money, it must have felt pressure, even if Huaguo's economy is gradually developing now. However, it is still not enough to make such a large investment in the field of basic research, and I have not seen that the construction of the LHC has gathered the support of more than 10 countries in Europe!

However, there have been some rumors from above recently, it seems that someone has re-taken their report, and I heard that it seems to be because of the young man in front of him; indeed, Lu Qiujian has already shown his potential in the field of high-energy physics before, if he has made any remarkable achievements in recent years, then when he returns to China, he will pull him to the high-energy institute, and the probability of this report passing will probably be higher!

"Come on, come on, a few of them are colleagues from Treasure Island, let's go over and say hello!" Professor Qi of Beijing Normal University led them to another wave of Chinese scientists who had just come in through the door.

Although there were still some differences between the two sides of the strait, I met compatriots of the same root and species at CERN, and both sides felt very cordial, and soon chatted very happily, and Lu Qiujian was warmly welcomed by the scientists of Baodao.

"Lu, the experiment is about to start soon, are you ready to cash in on your bet?" Dr. Evans walked between them, looked at Lu Qiujian with a smile and asked, the data processing after the experiment will require a lot of manpower. It would undoubtedly be much better to have Lu Qiujian's help.

"If the experiment is successful, I will be more than happy to serve you!" Before the experiment began, Lu Qiujian didn't want to continue to emphasize that the experiment would fail, as can be seen from the look on Dr. Evans' face. He probably hasn't been sleeping well lately!

The next day, Director Chen and the others went to their respective experimental groups to be busy, while Lu Qiujian, Higgs, Hawking, Witten and others waited nervously for the start of the experiment in the large observation room.

"ATLAS lab team reports on readiness!" Dr. Evans began his final check-up.

"The ATLAS lab team is ready!"

"Roger!CMS experiment team report on readiness!"

"The CMS lab team is ready!"

"Roger!Alice's lab team reports on their readiness!"

"Alice's lab team is ready!"

One by one, the experimental team reported that it was "ready", and all eyes in the observation room were focused on Professor Evans on the big screen.

"Accelerator channel detection completed! Proton tube detection completed!" The last two teams were also ready. And nothing unexpected happened.

"All the crew are ready, the collider accelerator tube is starting to charge!" Evans, with the anticipation of Higgs and all the other high-energy physicists, issued the order for the experiment to begin.

"The collision accelerometer charge begins. Everything is going well, and the charging will be completed according to the scheduled plan!" In the accelerator channel, two proton tubes are mainly placed, and the accelerator tubes are covered by superconducting magnets and cooled by liquid helium. The collision is about to start after the charge is complete, and the protons in the two accelerators will orbit the entire ring accelerator in opposite directions at an energy level of 3.5 TeV (megaelectron volts).

Although the total length of the accelerator tube is 27 kilometers, it is only a matter of a split second for these protons, which are traveling at nearly the speed of light, and each proton orbits the entire storage ring for 89 microseconds. Because of the synchrotron's nature, the particles in the accelerator tube are in the form of clusters of particles, rather than a continuous stream of particles, with a minimum collision period of 25 nanoseconds.

"Charged, now it's time to accelerate!" I don't know how long it took for the voice of the head of the acceleration tube team to break the silence of the observation room.

"Start speeding up according to the test plan!" Evans gave the order decisively, and there was not a trace of hesitation in his voice.

"Yes, start accelerating!" Before the particles are incident on the main acceleration ring, they will pass through a series of acceleration facilities, gradually increasing the energy. This process will be completed by multiple working groups such as the Proton Synchrotron, the Proton Synchrotron Thruster, and the Proton Synchrotron Ring, which are composed of two linear accelerators.

Evans' eyes were glued to the progress of the work fed back on the screen, issuing commands until the clusters of particles entered the accelerator channel, where they would collide, simulating the beginning of the universe. Observers such as ATLAS and CMS are already in place, waiting near the point of collision to observe and record this valuable data.

All preparations have been made, the particle clusters enter the accelerator channel, and the collision soon begins, while a very strangely shaped cloud appears over CERN, which takes on the shape of the eye of the storm and hovers at a rapid speed. A bright spot suddenly appeared out of thin air and immediately moved towards the center of the vortex cloud at a very fast speed.

What is going on? All the people who see this strange phenomenon are asking themselves. (To be continued.) )

PS: Ahem, the experimental process is not so simple, but presumably everyone will not want the next dozens of chapters to be boring descriptions of the experimental process, right?
