Zhuang Xiaohe is the general person in charge of this project, and at this time he is introducing the basic situation of the particle collider to Zhou Chen and others. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In any case, in order to build this super-large particle collider, the Poseidon base has spent huge resources and occupied a huge amount of construction capacity, and it would be too much to say if you can't tell the reason.

"Captain, and members of the advisory group, this super-large structure in front of you is the super-large particle collider that is about to be experimented, it is composed of seven acceleration rings, after the particles enter through the entrance of the first acceleration ring, we filter and accelerate them through the magnetic field, and accelerate them to a certain speed and enter the second acceleration ring......"

"That's it, when all the seven acceleration rings are over, the particles have been accelerated to a very fast speed, at this time, we open the channel to let it enter the last super-large acceleration ring, this acceleration ring is 3,000 kilometers in diameter and 9,420 kilometers in length, and the particles will be accelerated to infinitely close to the speed of light in it, and then a high-speed collision will occur in the collision chamber!"

"Because of the speed fast, these colliding particles will be crushed, and the nuclei will shatter, turning into neutrons, protons, and even further fragmentation, into smaller quarks...... We captured this process with a high-speed camera system. ”

Zhuang Xiaohe introduced everyone in detail.

Everyone understands the reason, that is, through acceleration to make the particles have a very high speed, and then bang and crush into powder, this process, with the greater the energy given by the outside world, the more complete the degree of crushing, the more abundant the "smaller particles" that can be seen.

Of course, according to the theory of supersymmetry, elementary particles have their supersymmetrical partners, and this supersymmetrical partner is like a supersymmetric partner of elementary particles, which will appear in a specific environment, but under current conditions, the human particle collider has not been able to observe supersymmetric partners, because the supersymmetric partners of particles have a mass much greater than that of elementary particles, and their formation requires more power, and our equipment cannot "manufacture" them.

This time, the super-large particle collider led by Zhuang Xiaohe not only explores the composition of particles at a smaller scale, but also verifies whether it can find a supersymmetry partner and verify the correctness of the supersymmetry theory.

"How long will it take to start experimenting?"

Zhou Chen nodded with a smile after listening to the introduction, and then asked.

"You can start anytime!" Zhuang Xiaohe smiled and said calmly, in fact, including Zhuang Xiaohe, countless scientists involved in this project are also very much looking forward to the operation of the super-large particle collider.

Just like children who are about to take the college entrance examination, parents want their children to get an excellent score in the exam.

"Then let's get started!" After Zhou Chen finished speaking, the scene immediately began to be tense and busy.

After everything was ready, Zhou Chen and the others walked to the console, and at this time, the parameters of each important link of the accelerator were displayed on the console.

"Since this is the first time to start the accelerator, let's start by accelerating 10,000 proton beams!"

Zhuang Xiaohe nodded and explained to everyone in detail.

In particle collision experiments, the same is to accelerate the particle, you can use the accelerated proton beam, you can also accelerate a single proton, usually scientists use the form of accelerated proton beam, which is mainly limited by the level of science and technology, if you can accelerate a single proton, then the same energy supply can get a faster collision particle, but the problem is that a single proton is not easy to achieve!

Zhuang Xiaohe said that starting with 10,000 proton beams means that the Earth Fleet has at least the ability to separate 10,000 individual protons! This is already a very subtle microscopic operation.

"Earth Fleet's super-large particle acceleration experiment, the first experiment has officially begun!"

With Zhuang Xiaohe's order, the twenty fusion reaction power stations distributed on the 9,420-kilometer huge ring ignited and burned, and the huge energy instantly filled the entire energy cabin.

"The magnetic field is activated, now release the proton beam!"

Rumble!

As the floodgates opened, the first two sets of 10,000 protons boiled happily like countless fish rushing to the sea.

Under the action of the magnetic field, they begin to move at high speed in the direction of each other, and the speed is constantly accelerating, and the speed is constantly accelerating! Soon it was 0.99 times the speed of light!

To know that protons are a class of particles with mass, which is actually a single naked nucleus of a hydrogen atom. However, as long as there is mass, the mass will always increase gradually with the increase of speed in the process of acceleration.

For example, when we accelerate an object to 0.9 times the speed of light, its mass actually more than doubles!

At this time, if we want to increase its speed, according to the principle of conservation of kinetic energy, we will have to give it more energy!

Since the faster an object accelerates to near the speed of light, the more significant the increase in its mass becomes, and therefore the more external energy it requires.

When it accelerates infinitely to close to the speed of light, its mass is close to infinity, and then to accelerate, the external energy required is also close to infinity, and in reality we cannot provide it with infinite energy, so it can never really accelerate to the speed of light!

That's the reason.

In fact, there is a misconception here, we have always said that we cannot accelerate to the speed of light, not that we simply think that the speed of light is the fastest and can never be surpassed. In fact, the speed of light is different in different environments. Strictly speaking, the inability to reach the speed of light here is just a figurative metaphor.

Because our universe actually has an upper velocity, this upper velocity can be understood as the basic rule of the universe, as long as in this universe, any object with mass, can not reach this upper velocity, the reason is the above - the acceleration process is accompanied by the increase of mass, which requires additional infinite energy.

However, objects that do not have mass at rest are not limited by this rule, they can reach this upper speed, for example, photons, it has no mass, so the speed of light reaches this upper speed, because the speed of light is more visual and easy to understand, so we generalize, there is a more "vernacular" saying - that no object can exceed the speed of light.

Also reaching this upper speed are gluons, theoretical gravitons, and neutrinos with approximate zero mass.

……

The experiment continued, and everyone in the entire control room held their breath and waited quietly for the experiment to proceed.

As long as the results of the experiment have not yet come out, then no one dares to say what will happen in the next second!

Because experiments are always accompanied by various unexpected situations, or some unexpected results can be obtained.

When the proton beam is accelerated to 99.99% times the speed of light, the connection between the first and second stages is opened, and the proton beam enters the second stage acceleration ring from the first stage acceleration ring, and after another acceleration, it enters the third stage, and then the fourth and fifth stages...... until you enter the final collision ring.

At this point, the speed of the proton beam is already very small from the speed of light, and the gap between them is still narrowing as the circle accelerates.

"The theoretical velocity has reached the collision requirement, now let the two beams of particles in the loop in opposite directions collide!"

"The channel is open, and the crash bay data acquisition system is ready!"

With the issuance of instructions one after another, the hearts of everyone at the scene couldn't help but rise.

In everyone's expectation, two sets of proton beams in opposite directions rushed and roared at high speed in the ring, and with a bang, a violent collision occurred in the collision chamber.

At this moment, the energy they release is beyond human imagination, but the process takes place in a very short time, and the high-energy area produced is also very narrow.

The entire collision may last only one picosecond, or one femtosecond (ten to the minus fifteenth power), which is very short.

At the moment of collision, the particles with extremely high kinetic energy instantly turned into powder, and a scene close to the Big Bang exploded in a small space in an instant, so a small black hole was born in the collision capsule at this moment, but this black hole is too small, so small that according to the black hole theory, it only lasted for a very short time before turning into ashes......

"After the data is collected, the particle path map is being planned through the quantum computer."

With the computer working under heavy load, a picture depicting the various particle explosions after the collision was soon presented on the display.

There are a lot of these particles with different properties, and they paint a wonderful and colorful trajectory on the screen......

The staff classified these particles one by one, and while statistically classifying, they reported: "Sixty elementary particles predicted by the Standard Particle Model have been discovered, ah, a particle with zero spin and no electric charge has been discovered, and this is the last particle in the Standard Model - the Higgs boson!" ”

The Higgs boson is the last particle in the Standard Model, commonly known as the God particle, according to the Higgs mechanism, it is the key particle that gives mass to an object, and its discovery means to prove the correctness of the Higgs mechanism.

Human scientists have been searching for the existence of the Higgs boson for a long time, hoping to use it as a key evidence to prove the theory that the loss of symmetry imparts mass to matter.

Of course, the discovery of the Higgs boson is not too exciting now, because the predecessors have already discovered it, and if the later generations repeat the experiment, there will not be much sensation.

"Let's conduct a second experiment and accelerate two groups of 5,000 proton beams each!"

Experiments soon began again, and with a bang, the experimental data quickly arrived in the high-performance quantum computer through the observer.

Then there was a third experiment, a fourth experiment, until finally, the particles that Zhou Chen accelerated turned into a proton beam composed of more than a dozen protons.

The data obtained from the experiment is becoming more and more abundant, and every time there is a collision, a huge amount of data arrives, if it is not for the updated level of the quantum computer, with the computing power of the old quantum computer, it is really unknown whether it can cope with such a massive burst of information in an instant.

After going through countless experiments, Zhou Chen discovered a wonderful phenomenon when they analyzed the data of the experiment.

They discovered the existence of the Higgs bosons in each collision, but there are subtle differences between the Higgs bosons, and it is not yet possible to determine whether these Higgs bosons are of the same kind, or perhaps ...... The Higgs boson itself is also a large family.

Another wonderful phenomenon is that when two groups of accelerated proton beams collide, when the mass profit and loss is finally calculated, it is found that the proton beam with an initial mass of 2 has a new mass of 2.05 refitted after the collision, which is 0.05 more mass.

The reason why mass increases means that in the extreme environment created at the moment of collision, the excess energy is inversely converted into matter through the mass-energy equation, which is the same as the condensation of energy into matter in the initial stage of the Big Bang. And the source of this energy (matter) is also undeniable, the kinetic energy given to the proton beam by the outside world during the acceleration phase.

At the same time, Zhou Chen also observed another phenomenon, that is, at the moment of collision, there was a scene of "positive and antimatter generation and rapid annihilation".

This is extremely valuable data! (To be continued.) )
