Chapter 204: The First Achievement (Thank You for the Reward of Feeding the Horses)
The domestic commotion subsided a bit, and the reporters who came back after that were all blocked out of the laboratory, and it was enough for Feng Hongqi to help him speak, and Lu Qiujian didn't have this time to deal with the others.
Ding Zhaozhong described the process of discovering J particles as follows: "It is equivalent to when it rains in Beijing, there are 10 billion raindrops per second, and only one raindrop is red, and we have to find out this red raindrop from these 10 billion." ”
Lu Qiujian's work now is the same, from these vast data to find out the group of characteristics that are different; contrary to what everyone thinks, discovering microscopic particles through detectors is not like using a microscope to observe cells, because in most cases, these particles decay quickly after collision, so you can't "see" them directly, you can only find them through "indirect observation".
The main work of data analysis is to "reverse" and "reconstruct" the intermediate particles of these final state particles, and finally compare the results of data analysis with the data that have been determined in previous experiments to see if we can find particles that have not been found in previous experiments.
In this process, it is necessary to use mathematical knowledge such as sub-distribution functions and large number statistics, and Lu Qiujian has a very thorough grasp of these related mathematical knowledge, so he became the core member of this experimental group soon after he arrived at the University of Munich; Professor Schiff also happily delegated authority to him, let him lead the group to carry out data analysis work, and Dietrich and others became his assistants.
Lu Qiujian did not disappoint him, the efficiency of the experimental team in analyzing and processing the data was greatly improved, and the work that was originally planned to be completed by the end of September seemed to be completed by the last weekend of August.
If there is a fly in the ointment, it is that despite analyzing so much data, we have not been able to find anything new, and most of them are particles that have been confirmed by the Standard Model of particle physics.
Of course, Lu Qiujian had already been mentally prepared for this result, if the scientific experiment had achieved results so easily, human beings would have flown out of the earth and embarked on the journey of the sea of stars.
However, the absence of new discoveries does not mean that there are no gains, through this period of practice. He has a more intuitive understanding of particle physics experiments, and this period of data analysis has also allowed him to discover some shortcomings in the data analysis methods currently used, and he can use his best mathematical knowledge to improve this method, which is in some ways more surprising to the physics community than the discovery of some new particles that are not important.
"Okay, let's stop here today! Let's go back and rest first, and then continue to work tomorrow!" Seeing that it was time to get off work, Lu Qiujian patted the table and woke up Dietrich, Carl and the others.
The sound of pushing chairs and stretching out in the lab was heard as the rest of the lab staff began to pack up their things and prepare to leave, and they were extremely excited about the efficiency of this time, and being able to complete their work in less time meant rare benefits such as bonuses and vacations.
"I reckon in ten days before the work will be over! I wonder how long Professor Whipft will give us a vacation? I have already planned a pleasant holiday to the Canary Islands, with its beaches and beautiful women. It's exciting to think about!" Dietrich closed his eyes and expressed his expectations to the fullest, "Lu, why don't you come with me?" I promise you won't be disappointed! Maybe we'll have unexpected gains!"
He read the word harvest and squeezed out a lewd smile at the same time, and Karl and Ludwig, Frederick and the others also laughed understandingly, the oldest of them was only in his early thirties, so would he understand the meaning of Dietrich's words?
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, even if the work here is over, I should go and play for Bayern! I haven't played a game in the new season!" Lu Qiujian still sat on the chair and didn't move, without the slightest intention of getting off work. "If this continues, Magath will probably have to withhold my salary. ”
"Well, okay, then I'm not going either, I'll go to the Munich Olympic Stadium to cheer you on when you play!" Bayern's Allianz Arena is not yet built. The old stadium is still used at home, and for Dietrich, it is always possible to go to the Canary Islands, and it is not worth it to miss the opportunity to strengthen relations with Luciujian!
"Hehe, you don't have to change your plan at all, I will have more opportunities to play at the Olympic Stadium in Munich in the future!" Lu Qiujian replied as he created a new document. Trying to write your thoughts out.
"There are plenty of opportunities to go to the Canary Islands, too!" asked Dietrich, who followed Karl as he walked out, "Lu, what do you want to eat?" I'll bring it to you in a moment!"
"Bring me some sausages and pig's feet!" Lu Qiujian was not polite. Once I started writing my paper, I didn't know when I would leave the lab, and it was great to have someone deliver food.
About half an hour or so, Dietrich returned to the laboratory alone, brought Lu Qiujian's dinner, and after receiving Lu Qiujian's meal money, Dietrich did not leave directly, but pointed to the computer and asked, "Lu Lu, what have you been doing lately? Is there anything I can do to help?"
"I think there is still a lot of room for improvement in the mathematical part of the analysis method we are using now, and I am planning to write my ideas into an article for Professor Schiff to see!" Lu Qiujian did not hide his work.
"Well, there's no place I can help?" Dietrich hesitated for a while before asking depressedly, if it was physics-related work, he could also rely on his solid foundation to give Lu Qiujian a big start, but mathematics, she didn't think she could help Lu Qiujian.
"No, no, no, I still need your help!" Dietrich is now so attentive just to get some benefits, and Lu Qiujian certainly doesn't mind giving him a chance to perform without affecting his work.
After eating, the computer in the laboratory lit up again, and Dietrich sat in front of his computer and began to work hard to deal with the task assigned by Lu Qiujian.
"Lu, there's a German Cup match next week, why don't you take this opportunity to feel the atmosphere first?" Magath called again a few days later.
"Well, I'm going to Israel next week, I'm afraid I won't be able to participate!" Lu Qiujian's answer made him depressed again.
"What are you going to do?"
"Get a prize!" (To be continued.) )
