Chapter 227: The Gamble with Evans (Gal. 2/29)

"I haven't seen the complete experimental plan, but according to Dr. Voss's introduction, I also have a basic understanding of this experiment!" Lu Qiujian was not timid because of the prestige of these scientists, his achievements in mathematics have given him the capital to talk to them on an equal footing, "If the experiment is carried out exactly according to what Dr. Voss said, I am afraid that this experiment will still not find the Higgs boson!"

"Why?!" Higgs looked at the young man in front of him with a complicated expression, he had given him a way to speed up the process of discovering the Higgs boson, but now he didn't think that this experiment would find this particle.

"Even though we've spent nearly $10 billion on building and maintaining this big thing!" Lu Qiujian began to make his point, "but based on Dr. Voss's message, I have a sense that the CERN engineers are still planning this test on the scale of the past, and they don't seem to realize that the LHC can do so much more than the previous colliders!"

"Be more specific!" Xu Fu seemed to catch something, he touched his chin with his left hand, held his left arm with his right hand, and pricked up his ears to listen to Lu Qiujian's words.

"According to Dr. Vos's paraphrase!" Lu Qiujian emphasized this point again, to show that his words were not groundless, but deduced based on conclusive facts, "This experiment is planned to use 3.5TeV energy for collision, it is true that this energy has exceeded all previous collision experiments, but according to my calculations, this energy level is far from enough to discover the Higgs boson!"

"How did you calculate this result!" was immediately asked, and Lu Qiujian saw that it turned out to be Dr. Lynn Evans, the leader of the LHC project.

The son of a Welsh miner, who developed a keen interest in science at secondary school, after completing his PhD at Swansea University, came to CERN in 1969 for an exchange visit, where he has remained for more than 34 years, leading the construction of the LHC for the previous 14 years.

It can be said that there is no one who is more familiar with the LHC than he is! The pilot plan that Dr. Voss said must have passed his review before it was ready to be implemented, and now that he heard that Lu Qiujian had denied this plan, how could he not be interested?

Of course, this is also the strength that Lu Qiujian has shown before. Experimental physics is a discipline that pays great attention to seniority, and young people of Lu Qiujian's age are generally in charge of the affairs of a certain gear, and the overall situation is all gray-haired old men like him.

Lu Qiujian first spit out a large series of numbers, "You see these are the technical indicators of several detectors such as ATLAS and CMS. Evans nodded in agreement, the numbers he knew better than his wife's birthday.

Then Lu Qiujian said another series of numbers, "This is the possible result of a collision at the energy level of 3.5TeV, so according to my calculations, this result may produce Higgs bosons, but because the energy level is not enough, I am afraid it is difficult to be observed by the detector." We may see some signs, but we can't be sure that it's the Higgs boson!"

"If you can get the results based on your calculations, then why spend nearly 10 billion dollars to build the LHC?" Dr. Evans doesn't seem to believe much in his reasoning process, and he thinks that the LHC that he spent 14 years building can definitely complete the historical mission of discovering the Higgs boson, and CERN's experimental scheme is also extremely feasible.

Lu Qiujian agreed with the former point, but he didn't agree much with the latter point, "Maybe if the energy is adjusted to the standard of 8TeV, the Higgs boson will really be discovered!"

"Oh!" all the physicists who heard it exclaimed at the same time, an energy level that was nearly four times as close to what was currently planned. It's beyond their imagination.

"According to the analysis results of the experimental group, the energy collision of 3.5TeV is sufficient!" Evans still insisted on his opinion, "This energy level is the result of detailed argumentation and deduction! I am very confident in this experiment!"

Higgs's gaze swirls between Luciujian and Evans, an experimental physicist who has worked at CERN for more than three decades and has overseen the construction of the LHC. One is a genius mathematician who suddenly appears and doesn't know whose point of view to believe.

"Alright, Peter, let's go as planned!" Engler patted his old friend on the shoulder. "Almost all the preparations are in place, and now it's too late to even change the energy level temporarily! There's still time to wait for the next experiment!"

"How can the so-called experiment be successful!" Evans's tone softened a little when he said this, "but according to our judgment, the chances of success in this experiment are very high!"

"If that's the case, then Dr. Evans, why don't we make a bet like Mr. Hawking!" Lu Qiujian suggested in a whim.

"Oh, what are you going to bet on? I remember Mr. Hawking seemed to have made a hundred dollar bet on the non-existence of the Higgs particle!" Evans raised an eyebrow.

"If I lose, I'll stay at CERN until the next trial starts. Lu Qiujian showed his purpose, "If the results of the experiment are really the same as my prediction, then can I also participate in the next test plan?"

"Hah! no problem!" Evans has this right, and Lu Qiujian also has the strength to work at CERN, in his opinion, this is a business that will not lose money regardless of whether he wins or loses, "It's just that Mr. Shuffett will let you come?"

"No problem! I just don't know if Mr. Hoeness will agree!" Professor Schifft calmed down and made a joke, so the gamble was finalized in the presence of Witten, Higgs, Hawking and others.

"So Lu Qiujian judged that this experiment would not be successful based on his rough calculations?" Of course, the reporter of "Xinhua North Daily" would not admit defeat because of Liu Yuzhou's refusal, and after spending a lot of money and energy, he finally found a staff member who was willing to break the news, and got the news from him.

Hehe, young and frivolous will always suffer! The manuscript for the next issue has been settled! He laughed proudly. (To be continued.) )

PS: Of course, there are many reasons for the failure of the first few experiments of LHC, and the energy level is only one of them, and it is not so easy to predict, there is a great exaggeration here, but the novel, everyone should have a good time!
