Chapter 314 - AMS Project (Add. 12/31)

Ding Zhaozhong is no stranger to Chinese people, but most people probably only know that he is the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, and at most they know a little bit of gossip about whether the three brothers of the Ding family have a younger brother who changes his name to Ding Zhaoguo or Ding Zhaoguo, as for what research he does, it is probably impossible to say.

Ding Zhaozhong was born in Ann Arbor, United States in 1936, and later returned to Baodao with his parents to study.

Later, he went to the University of Michigan in the United States for further study, and obtained a bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics, and a doctorate in physics.

After a stint at Columbia University, where he was invited to the German Electron Synchrotron Research Center (DESY) in Hamburg, he began to study particle physics and showed superhuman talent, and in less than two years he conquered all his colleagues and became the head of the German Electron Synchrotron Group, where he discovered the successful experimental method of the J particle.

In 1974, he discovered a long-lived neutral particle at Brookhaven National Laboratory and named it the J particle, which proved that the popular theory of three quarks at that time was wrong and promoted the long-term development of physics.

Professor Ding Zhaozhong also won the 1976 Nobel Prize in Physics with Professor Richter of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center for this achievement; from the above information, it can be seen that high-end equipment is almost indispensable in order to achieve success in the field of physics! Therefore, the reason why no one in China has won the Nobel Prize so far is not an illusory system problem (the Red Empire was not lacking in the first place). If China had built a world-class accelerator shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it would have produced many Nobel laureates in the past few decades!

Soon after winning the award, he was invited to visit Huaguo, and organized Huaguo physicists to work and study in his laboratory, experiencing the world-class academic atmosphere, and making outstanding contributions to the development of Huaguo physics.

With the in-depth study of dark matter, antimatter and other issues, he found some existing detection methods. Large colliders, high-altitude balloons, and underwater exploration all have their own limitations and do not seem to meet the needs of dark matter exploration.

So he opened up another path and put forward a very bold and thorough idea, that is, to build the real danger room directly into space, collect the most real data and information from space, and transmit it back to the ground for analysis. So there was AMS, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer.

In 1998, he took full charge of CERN's Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) project, the most sensitive precision particle detection device in space. It is also the most complex and expensive dark matter detection facility, planned to be completed by 16 countries and estimated to cost $2.1 billion to manufacture.

A total of eight scientific research teams from the Institute of High Energy, Qilu University, and Modu Jiaotong University participated in this great project, and made decisive contributions to the core components of the alpha magnetic spectrometer - the magnet system, the magnetic spectrometer energy measuring device structure, the heat dissipation system, the magnetic spectrometer experimental system, the antimatter detection system and the ground data processing system.

Baodao also has scientists involved, the Sun Yat-sen Academy of Sciences. An electronic control system was designed for the project that runs 10 times faster than NASA's current system.

However, it is regrettable that due to the accident of the Columbia spacecraft in 2003, the US government readjusted its space development program and grounded all space shuttles, and the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer program into space was canceled. Therefore, Professor Ding Zhaozhong's main work in the near future is to lobby the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States to restart the spacecraft launch program.

This is for this reason. Therefore, after Lu Qiujian contacted him early, he did not wait for the opportunity to communicate until today; The first thing Lu Qiujian noticed was his distinctive eyebrows and eyes, Professor Ding was almost old, but his spirit did seem to be quite good, but there was a touch of worry between his eyebrows, perhaps he was worried about the future of the alpha magnetic spectrometer!

"Hello Professor Ding, I'm really sorry that I'm still here to disturb you in your busy schedule!" Lu Qiujian saw him get up from his chair. Hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands and greet.

"Recently, I've been busy with some things that are completely unnecessary but have to be busy, so I can't say anything to disturb or not!" Maybe the recent lobbying has not gone well, Ding Zhaozhong couldn't help but complain, and before Lu Qiujian could agree with him, he shifted the topic to dark matter, "Instead of meeting with those politicians." It's better to exchange the latest research results with your peers, I have read a series of articles on dark matter in recent years, and they are very insightful!"

"I believe that after the repercussions of Columbia gradually dissipates, the United States will still approve your plan!" Lu Qiujian comforted, in fact, three years later, the United States approved his application to transport the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer to the International Space Station by Endeavour, "because 'if the International Space Station does not have science, it loses its meaning'!"

"Huh?" Ding Zhaozhong's eyes lit up when he heard Lu Qiujian's words, "Your sentence is very provocative and convincing, if you don't mind, I want to use it in my speech!"

This was originally what you said in your speech, Lu Qiujian was a little embarrassed, "Even if you use it, if you can play a role as small as a quark, I feel very honored!"

"The universe is the most extensive laboratory, the energy of cosmic rays is higher than that of any accelerator, and the existence of the International Space Station provides extremely convenient conditions for the exploration of dark matter; although it is a pity that the Columbia incident abandons all space exploration programs because of an accident, wouldn't it be a waste of food because of choking?" )

PS: Thank you for the 10,000 reward from the book friends of the new Song Bar, I drank too much today, and I almost turned my face with my relatives, and I was extremely depressed!
