The data is in hand, and what to do with it becomes a question.

Starting from the theory of quantum chromodynamics, there is a lack of theoretical support.

However, from a statistical point of view, the sample size is too small to draw any useful conclusions.

After five nights of analyzing the data with 10 G's, Lu Zhou finally came to a conclusion.

To determine whether this anomalous bulge is a characteristic peak, it comes down to a few laps on the Hadron Collider. With the current amount of data, the accumulated cases are not even 3sigma confident, not even a "sign" in physics, let alone a "discovery".

After five nights behind closed doors, Lu Zhou found Academician Lu with the research results and data of the past five days.

It was impossible for him alone to convince CERN, after all, his identity was only an intern, and the weight was still too light.

After explaining his point of view to Academician Lu, Lu Zhou thought that the old gentleman would at least be emotional about this discovery if he didn't agree with his opinion, but he didn't expect to get a negative answer.

"The Hadron Collider can't be activated because of a whim of yours, you have to look for 750 GeV particles, and the collision energy has to be at least 1.2 TeV, or even 2 TeV. This is not a small amount, not to mention that the LHC schedule is very full, CERN still has endless experiments to do, and everyone wants to verify their theories, but the funding is limited. ”

Lu Zhou didn't give up and tried to persuade: "But Professor, we haven't discovered any new particles since the 'post-Standard Model era', don't you think this may be an opportunity?" ”

Yes, both the four-quark state and the five-quark state particles discovered now are particles that have been observed before, but the confidence level is lower than 5sigma, which is called "indication" in the academic community and cannot be determined as "discovery".

If the signal that appeared at 750 GeV was confirmed to be the presence of a new particle, it would mean something for physics, as Lu Zhou did not know what exactly the particle would be there.

But for him personally, he can be sure that this discovery, once it is confirmed that it is true, will at least be a Nobel Prize.

"To be honest, I'm not very optimistic," Academician Lu shook his head and said after hearing Lu Zhou's words, "750GeV is too heavy, and from the perspective of quantum chromodynamics, this is out of the theoretical foundation." ”

Lu Zhou emphasized: "But we have observed this signal on the ATLAS and CMS detectors! Do you think it's just a coincidence? ”

"Yes, you're right, he doesn't have to be a coincidence," Academician Lu nodded and pointed to the data on the paper, "But have you ever thought that it might just be a two-photon signal generated when gluon polymerizes?" ”

Lu Zhou nodded: "You're right, there is indeed such a possibility, but it is precisely because of this that I need to use experiments to prove that my guess is correct!" ”

Seeing that his students were getting more and more excited, Academician Lu smiled, paused for a moment, sighed and said, "I understand the excitement in your heart, but something similar has not happened before. And personally, I'd love to help you test the results, but unfortunately, we're not a member of CERN, we're just a partner country, and neither I nor the old man of Mizuki University can talk about it here. And the BES in Shangjing, this experiment can't be done. ”

Lu Zhou fell silent.

As the old gentleman said, the hadron collider belongs to someone else, and it must be a priority to do your own research. Unless you can produce conclusive evidence, let alone convince the head of CERN directly, at least get them interested in your theory.

However, this is again stuck in an endless loop.

If experiments were not conducted on this energy region, there would be no evidence at all. Unless you wait for someone else to do a collision experiment of more than 1 TeV, and then look for these leftovers from someone else's data......

But when will this have to wait?

And even if you find these things at that time, most of them will have nothing to do with you.

After all, he couldn't be resident at CERN and keep an eye on other people's experiments, and he had to go back to finish his studies and go to Princeton for a PhD.

Back in his room, Lu Zhou slumped on the bed, looking up at the paper in his hand in a daze.

Suddenly, he coughed lightly and asked in a low voice.

"System, are there any particles in the 750GeV?"

The system did not respond.

Is it because the physical grade is not enough?

Or is it because this kind of question is also a directional question? According to his previous experience, all questions involving direction are not within the range of the system's Q&A.

MMP, more and more, feel that this point is useless.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhou sat up from the bed.

It's too early to give up, not to mention that he's not one to give up easily.

In fact, there are still opportunities.

It was impossible for CERN to start the Hadron Collider for one of his interns because he didn't have enough weight.

In that case, it would be good to find someone with enough weight to convince the head of CERN for him!

Recently, so many big bulls in the field of theoretical physics have gathered here, and there are still many people of this weight.

If nothing else, these people will stay until the end of the month, when CERN convenes a conference on CERN and reports on the results of the five-quark state particles.

And now there is only one thing for Lu Zhou to do, and that is to perfect his theory before the end of the month.

……

Perfecting the theory may seem simple to say, but it's not that easy to do.

If he wants to turn this physical problem into a mathematical problem, he must use mathematical methods to prove that when there are enough samples, the bulge that appears in the 750 GeV energy region will definitely form a characteristic peak.

It may sound like a statistical problem, but in the absence of a sample, it is almost impossible to solve this problem by simply using statistical tools.

He needed more evidence.

And then analyze new conclusions from this evidence.

“…… This is the experimental data collected on the ATLAS and CMS detectors when the LHC was looking for Higgs particles in 12-13 years, but you should know that the Higgs particles are only 125 GeV, and we didn't make the collision energy as large when we were looking for this thing. ”

In his office, Professor Greer threw the USB flash drive into Lu Zhou's hand.

After taking the USB flash drive, Lu Zhou said sincerely: "It's okay, I'm already very grateful!" ”

After thinking about it, it seemed that he could only ask for this one.

Although the two have not known each other for long, this Professor Greer and him are unexpectedly compatible in personality. Although he was not optimistic about the content of Lu Zhou's research, the professor did not dissuade him, but helped him collect a lot of valuable data.

While the documents are not classified, they are not fully available to the public. If you don't know anyone inside CERN, it's not easy to get your hands on this data as an intern.

Professor Greer smiled and said, "You're welcome, it's a trivial matter, has your research progressed?" ”

Lu Zhou nodded and said, "It's already a little." ”

"If you want to use the Hadron Collider, my advice is to find someone who has enough weight in the theoretical physics community, rather than working behind closed doors," Professor Greer cautioned. After all, no matter how far your theory goes, it will ultimately have to be backed up by LHC data. ”

Lu Zhou: "That's exactly what I plan, but before that, I want to make my theory a little more reliable." ”

Professor Grell asked, "Is there a suitable target?" ”

Lu Zhou shook his head: "There is no ...... for the time being"

He was going to wait for the theoretical preparation to be a little more perfect, and then he would take the paper and try it one by one with the method of casting a wide net. For example, squatting in a bigwig's lecture and waiting until the lecture is over to find the paper.

If that doesn't work, then there's nothing he can do.

Professor Grell thought for a moment and casually asked, "Do you need me to recommend one for you?" ”

Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and immediately said, "Of course you need to!" Do you have any good suggestions? ”

Seeing Lu Zhou's eagerness, Professor Greer smiled and said, "Frank Wilzek, the Nobel Prize winner in physics in '04, is probably the best talker among all the people I know. If you can convince him, there may be some hope. ”
