Chapter 251: Experimental Results (Add. 9/31)

Ze Roberto and Lucio can return to Brazil to enjoy the sun, the beach and the beauty of bikinis, Kahn and Schweinsteiger and others have chosen their own destinations, while Lu Qiujian continues to wait for the results of the experiment at the University of Munich.

Slowly, each partner also completed their own data analysis and summarized the results into CERN's grid data center: no Higgs bosons were found, only some interesting signs were found, but there was no conclusive evidence to prove the existence of Higgs bosons, and reports like this were passed through the hands of David Colin and other CERN core personnel such as Dr. Evans and theoretical physicists such as Higgs.

Evans is not worried that he will be blamed for not achieving the desired results of this experiment, and the success of the LHC has proven his credit.

If those officials have to say sorry to pay tuition or other arguments to defend themselves after screwing up a large investment or being disconnected in the middle of a big project, scientists will not have such pressure, especially the unique experimental project of LHC, and if it fails, they will happily declare, "Aha, we have verified a wrong path, and the physics world is one step closer to the truth."

But still, it's frustrating not to find the Higgs boson, and it's just that if it hasn't been discovered next time, what if it hasn't been discovered next time, next time? What if other labs have discovered the Higgs boson before they do?

When the last report reached Evans, he finally gave up his last hope, all the data had been processed, and the result was really the same as Lu Qiujian had predicted, and the experiment failed to find the last of the 62 particles predicted by the Higgs boson, the standard model.

Of course, the smooth operation of the LHC has made physicists all over the world realize that human beings have more advanced and more powerful experimental equipment; through the analysis of the experimental data, many new discoveries have been made that have not been discovered before, and mankind's understanding of the material world has taken a solid step forward; many physicists have benefited from this experiment, and one article after another has been written. It has been published in high-end scientific journals such as Nature, Science, and Physical Review Letters.

But even with so many results, the biggest mystery has not been solved, which still makes Evans and others regret, and Higgs is even more depressed, do you have to wait any longer?

The Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded in October every year, and January 31 of each year is the deadline for nominations for the Nobel Prize of that year, and the nominations received thereafter are counted in the next year.

Higgs and Engler may be able to wait, but Brought's physical condition has not been optimistic recently, and it is not known whether he will be able to hold out until the day the Higgs boson is discovered.

Once again, leading scholars in the field of high-energy physics from around the world have gathered at CERN to try to find out why the Higgs boson was not found in this experiment. And hopefully in the next trial to achieve better results.

"Dr. Evans, the LHC is a testament to your success, please don't be discouraged by a momentary setback!" said Luciujian as he reunited with Dr. Evans, and it is true that the largest machine ever built by mankind could function without Dr. Evans.

"Thank you! We're discussing why this experiment didn't work as expected!" Dr. Evans, who had recovered from his loss, raised his eyebrows playfully, "The outcome of that gamble has been revealed, and it seems like I'm on the losing side!"

"It's also reasonable to gradually increase the energy level!" Lu Qiujian's mind raced, would he really invite himself to participate in the decision-making of the next trial plan?

"Then it's time to cash in on your bet!" Dr. Evans held out his hand again. "Lu, welcome to CERN's team!"

"Thank you very much for the invitation! I hope the next experiment can achieve a successful result!" Lu Qiujian's heart suddenly relaxed, and he stretched out his right hand and shook Evans tightly.

"Mr. Higgs, please take care of yourself! Then, according to the prediction, it will be a matter of time before the Higgs boson is discovered!" Higgs, along with Engler and Braut, have been staying at CERN for a long time to await the results of the experiment, after all, they are all in their seventies. Inevitably, there will be some mental malaise.

"Thank you!" As if remembering the last gamble, Higgs patted the back of Lu Qiujian's hand, "I hope you can bring us good news!" he said, turning his gaze to Robert Braut, the worst-looking of the three. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

Lu Qiujian already understood what he meant, "I believe that the LHC will not disappoint Mr. Blaut, Mr. Engler, and you!" He put Blaut's name at the forefront, which was a response to Higgs.

The summary of this experiment lasted for several days, such as whether the data analysis was accurate, whether the function of the detector was perfect, etc., and of course, the problem of insufficient energy level predicted by Lu Qiujian.

CERN staff recorded and analysed each of these in order to find out why the trial did not work as expected.

At the end of the experiment, physicists from all over the world returned to their research institutes one after another, and Lu Qiujian also returned to Munich, packed his things and went to Munich Airport.

There was still some time before he could reformulate his pilot program, and he could use that time to return home to another important event.

When registering, Lu Qiujian found that there seemed to be a lot of Chinese people on this flight, but when you think about it, it is not surprising that China's economy is developing day by day, and more and more people are going to Europe to work, travel and study.

When he came to his seat in the first class cabin and sat down, the Chinese man next to him looked at him in surprise, "Hey, may I ask if you are Lu Qiujian from Bayern Munich?"

"Yes, I am!" Lu Qiujian looked back at the passenger next to him, who happened to know him too, "You are also preparing to return to China?" )

PS: I'm back, four more today!
