“tf？！”

Seeing the person standing on the stage, Carreyra, who was sitting in the research team of Syracuse University, her eyes widened in surprise, and she subconsciously burst into a foul language.

Professor Brunos, who was sitting next to her, frowned and asked.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing"

Swallowing her saliva, Carylella hurriedly reached for her notes, hiding her momentary gaffe.

However, the surprise in her heart did not change.

She couldn't have imagined that he was already standing there after only a month of not seeing him.

This contrast is really shocking for her, who is also an intern.

On the other side, Luo Wenxuan, who was sitting next to Mr. Edward Witten, also looked at the podium in surprise, and the shock in his heart was not much less than that of Yan Xinjue, who was sitting more than ten meters away.

Senior Brother Luo couldn't figure out how he could stand in that place as a math student.

Speaking of which, was he really involved in the experiment?

On the contrary, the old Mr. Edward Witten, who was sitting next to him, did not have much surprise in his eyes, but was a little interested.

Apparently, he recognized the man on stage.

And at this moment, he is also looking forward to it.

What a startling discovery will this young man who once shocked Princeton make here?

Standing on the podium, facing the pair of waiting eyes, Lu Zhou took a deep breath, tried to calm his mind, and didn't pay attention to the bigwigs sitting in the audience.

Then, he spoke slowly.

"I'm Lu Zhou from Jinling University, China, and I'm honored to participate in this kind of international experiment as an intern, and it's because of this opportunity that I have the opportunity to discover these interesting phenomena."

Knowing that the bigwigs didn't care about these trivial things at all, Lu Zhou introduced himself as briefly as possible, and then pressed the screening button on the laser pointer, released the first page of the PPT, and quickly got to the point.

"About a month ago, I was at the test site in the North Zone, and while the collider was testing a 1TEV level collision, I observed a couple of very special cases on the ATS probe."

As he spoke, Lu Zhou flipped the PPT to the next page and pointed to several coordinate points on the events/mλλ image, "It's here, it's amazing, isn't it?" We observed several very specific signals at 750 GEV. ”

Sitting in the audience, Peter Higgs grinned at the corners of his mouth, although he didn't laugh out loud, but his expression was already obviously disapproving.

"This is the reporter you recommend?"

Frank laughed and said, "That's right. ”

Peter couldn't help but tease: "Then have you told him about the theory of quantum fluctuations?" My students and I generally speak. ”

"I know what you're trying to say, think this discovery is worthless," Frank smiled and continued, "to bet $100?" I bet he can convince you. ”

Peter looked at him.

"I don't know why you are so confident, but if you continue like this, sooner or later you will lose all the prize money awarded to you by the Nobel Committee."

Frank smiled disappretently at his old friend's teasing.

"Not necessarily."

Seeing the "research results" displayed by Lu Zhou, the people sitting in the audience were unimpressed, and even let out a few imperceptible chuckles.

Although the voice was not easy to detect, it was particularly harsh to the ears of the reporter.

Undoubtedly, most people are not convinced by the data collected during the test track.

A few isolated cases, while seemingly abrupt, are not noteworthy. Because there is a very classical "quantum uncertainty theorem" in quantum mechanics, which can perfectly explain this phenomenon - that is, it is permissible to randomly generate a small amount of energy in pure space, as long as the energy disappears again in a short time.

There were only a few people, and they showed interested expressions.

However, Lu Zhou had also expected this situation, so he didn't take it to heart and continued to say without changing his face.

"I know that someone will subconsciously react that this must be a two-photon signal, or an error within the tolerable range, such as what you think of as quantum fluctuations."

"So, I deliberately found the data from 12 years of searching for Higgs particles, analyzed them statistically, and built a probabilistic model."

As he spoke, Lu Zhou continued to press the projection button.

In the next moment, the curtain is filled with dense formulas.

In fact, a similar phenomenon has been reflected in 12 years of data, and it has been observed on both ATS and CMS detectors. If all this is just a coincidence, then this coincidence is a little too deliberate.

And this is his biggest theoretical fulcrum!

Glancing at the steps on display on the PPT behind him, Lu Zhou propped his hands on the podium and continued in an affirmative tone.

"I checked the data in this section again and confirmed that under the two-photon channel Spin2 selection condition on the ATS detector, the results of various variable reactions can be determined, and there must be a collision in this energy region."

"And according to the probabilistic model behind me, I can say in the affirmative that if the data collected on the ATS and CMS detectors is correct, when the samples are accumulated to a sufficient number, there will definitely be a characteristic peak in the energy region of 750 GEV!"

"Maybe it's a new and heavier higgs particle, maybe it's a graviton, maybe it's just a two-photon signal, all kinds of possibilities exist, even"

After a pause, Lu Zhou glanced around at the venue that began to become silent at some point, took a deep breath, and continued.

"It could even be the last piece of the puzzle we've been looking for."

"The supersymmetrical particle!"

There was silence in the audience.

Surprise was written on people's faces at this unexpected reversal.

Originally, almost everyone thought that this data was worthless, but after seeing the argumentation process on the screen, many people had a trace of doubt in their minds about the subconscious conclusion made earlier.

If the sample size accumulates to a large enough value, the probability of this characteristic peak appearing is as high as 84.5%, although this characteristic peak does not necessarily mean that a completely new particle will necessarily appear, but it has value for research.

This finding seems

Interesting?

Sitting in the back row of the conference room, Luo Wenxuan looked at the calculations on the curtain in surprise, and quickly checked the correctness of these calculations in his heart.

But apparently someone is one step ahead of him.

This person is the Fields Medal winner sitting next to him - Edward Wieten.

"He's right." The notebook didn't move a word, and he kept staring at Witten on the screen, nodding approvingly, "At least mathematically correct." ”

A trace of surprise appeared on Senior Brother Luo's face, and he subconsciously asked.

"You mean, he's discovered a whole new particle?"

"I didn't say that, neither mathematicians nor physicists can directly see particles in the microscopic world," Witten said with a shrug and a smile, "and the only thing we can do is find particles with colliders, and all we theorists can do is draw treasure maps for the real 'treasure hunters.'" ”

But that's enough.

Gradually, applause rang out.

Then it spread out from a corner of the venue, tearing through the silence of the previous second.

Listening to the applause that poured like a tide, Lu Zhou could even feel the beating heart in his chest.

The situation is already clear.

Regardless of whether the characteristic peak of the 750GEV means a treasure, regardless of the sensitivity of detectors such as ATS and CMS, whether or not this treasure can be found in the end, his persistence has always allowed CERN to not miss it - or to find the clue in advance.

And for him personally, the efforts of the past month have not been in vain.

As for something more distant, he didn't think about it for the time being.

In the midst of applause, a smile appeared on Lu Zhou's face, and his clenched fist was finally released.

In the face of the thunderous applause, he bowed slightly.

Then, turn around and walk off the stage.
