Inside the Atomic Research Institute.

Heidi, Annick and others are waiting for the new issue of "Arcane" and "Magic", and the series of papers on quantum field theory at the beginning of the beginning of the month inspired them to study deeply in the microscopic field, and felt the direction of breakthrough in the microscopic field, so under their own hard work and Lucian's guidance, they quickly grasped the current knowledge of quantum field theory, and each completed a related paper to discuss with the grand arcanists and high-level magicians.

In this regard, Annick and Sprint themselves belong to one of the founders of quantum field theory - the application of the technique of quadratic quantization to electronic systems is their joint paper, so it is not too difficult to understand and grasp, and soon keep up with the pace of the great arcanists such as Lucian, Brooke, and Fernando, and begin to be dizzy by "infinity", and they want to die with them.

"In the case of low-order approximations, quantum field theory is excellent, but unfortunately, when there are higher-order approximations, ......" Katrina sighed, not saying the word "infinity", otherwise Annick would have been nothing, and Splinter would have gone crazy.

Heidi seldom let her troubles linger in her heart all the time, and at this time she smiled and said, "Anyway, this is a field where you can figure out the nature of electromagnetic forces and the secrets of electronics!"

She paused: "Well, no, at least quantum superposition states, observer effects, etc., have no hope of an explanation from quantum field theory for the time being. ”

"Moreover, the different processes by which charged particles exchange photons to produce electromagnetic force give us some inspiration, and it seems that we can grasp the 'situation' where positrons may appear. I'm going to have to design some collision experiments. Cherie added for Heidi.

In many cases, the discovery of particles is not as simple as finding the right ray and observing the trajectory, but having the "ray" collide with different particles, collide at different positions, collide with different energies, and thus produce different reactions (splitting or otherwise), and then find the abnormal trajectory from the results of these complex reactions.

In the absence of theoretical guidance, relying on experiments alone will be like a headless fly, which can only be accumulated over a long period of time. Therefore, the legendary mages and archmages have not been able to find anything too valuable from the cosmic rays for the time being.

Heidi smirked, "So." This will be the main content of our experiment at the 'Space Observatory', and with the teacher's attention to positrons, you can't compete with us!"

Sprint snorted: "Anyway, my attention is on quantum field theory, and there is still a lot of knowledge to learn and master." There was no thought of going to the 'Space Observatory' in a short period of time. ”

"Actually, I think that H.E. Hathaway's paper is also very enlightening and 'aesthetic'. When protons and neutrons are considered to be the same elementary particle. I really felt the simple beauty of the material essence. "Reiria's daily research is to determine the properties of different materials at different temperatures, to synthesize new materials from these properties, and then to repeat the experiment. Finding out why they cause superconductivity is boring and complicated, so the idea that the essence of all complex things will be reduced to simplicity is quite appreciated.

Annick said calmly: "It can't be so simple to think that the research on the phenomenon of atomic decay in the past few years seems to show that protons and neutrons are not as simple as we imagined, or that the situation in the nucleus is not as simple as we imagined, when it decays, it can actually release electrons and 'neutrinos' as guessed by Your Excellency the Storm Master, and even Your Excellency Oliver guessed that neutrons can be converted into protons, what secrets are contained in this, whether it reveals something, it is difficult to say." ”

What he meant, Reilia probably understood, nodded slightly, "I know, but according to some arcanists, it's almost impossible for 'neutrinos' to be discovered. ”

Neutrinos are uncharged, very, very light in mass, and have little interaction with matter, which is why they are called "invisible particles" by arcanists, meaning that they are extremely difficult to observe.

"As long as it exists, it can be observed by design experiments!" Sprint was very confident in this, and then he shook his head: "But the most important thing at the moment is that without a stable reactor, many experiments are difficult to carry out." ”

"Yes, without a large fission reactor, there would be no stable source of particles, and it would not be possible to complete some of the experiments that continue to be studied in the microscopic field. Katrina sighed, "The urgent need for fission reactors now lies not only in the energy realm, but also in the deeper research of the microscopic realm, which is the desire of the vast majority of arcanists. ”

Heidi burst out laughing, "The vast majority of Arcanists say they don't know anything about it, they don't want it at all, they can't keep up with the progress of the microscopic realm. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and saluted with a smile: "Good morning, teacher." ”

She was the first to spot Lucien walking to the door.

Lucien took out a stack of periodicals from his storage bag and smiled, "I just happened to meet the apprentice who brought you periodicals, so I took them by the way." ”

Heidi and the others were not sincerely afraid of the teacher's behavior, after all, they knew the teacher's character very well, and knew that he was really just by the way, and had no other meaning.

"Xie Lu, Mr. Xie. Katrina, Heidi, and the others took the journal with bright smiles.

Lucien shook the remaining copy in his hand, "The most interesting thing in this issue is Granny Hathaway's new paper. ”

"The most interesting?" Sprint and the others were stunned for a moment, how easy is it to be evaluated by the teacher as interesting? This shows that he appreciates the idea and direction of the paper, and it also shows the enlightening value of the paper!

Heidi quickly flipped to the table of contents and found the title of Hathaway's new paper: "A Little Guess About the Forces of Strong Interaction?"

After reading it, Annick and the others glanced at each other and vaguely guessed something, after all, the nature of electromagnetic force had just had a direction, and as a result, a paper on strong interaction force immediately appeared, and it was difficult for them to believe that there was no connection between the two.

Sure enough, Hathaway introduced the "model" and ideas established by quantum field theory into the nuclear force (strong interaction force), since the essence of electromagnetic force is a complex process of charged particles exchanging photons, can the strong interaction force also be regarded as the interaction between nucleons (protons, neutrons) exchanging some particles?

Hathaway's train of thought is not difficult to understand, but it just needs to be free from the constraints of rules and regulations and have the courage to make associations, so Annick, Katrina, Heidi and others accepted the premise of this guess without much difficulty and continued to read it.

Although the study of the strong interaction force is still very shallow, it is enough to support Hathaway to build a rough model, and then based on the experimental data, it is estimated that this particle is a new particle that has not been discovered so far, and the rest mass is about two or three hundred times that of an electron.

"If we can find this particle, the nature of the strong interaction force will also be revealed in front of us......" Annick whispered in shock.

"Is this a prophecy of a new particle?" said Katrina, with a strange feeling.

Leyilia frowned slightly, "If it is really discovered, can the weak interaction force also be constructed with this model, and there are also new particles?"

It seems that in an instant, the types of elementary particles have doubled, although this is still just a guess, but Reilia and others have to pay attention, is it possible that in the microscopic realm, the types of elementary particles do not have simple properties, but are complex and huge systems?

Sprint said excitedly: "It would be nice if it was really discovered, it means that the nature of the strong interaction force will have no secrets in front of us, only the exploration of details!"

"If the three fundamental forces other than gravity can be attributed to the exchange of particles and the corresponding models are constructed, it means that in our eyes, there is no secret in the entire world!"

He had always been confident and passionate, and this time was no exception, and as for how many elementary particles there were, it was completely unconcerned, and it was all just speculation anyway.

"It's a pity that the study of weak interaction forces would not be able to support the construction of such a model, otherwise I would have to predict new particles. Heidi said with "regret", and then she was happy, "Maybe these new particles are hidden in cosmic rays!"

Sprint froze suddenly, and then said "viciously": "I also want to apply for the use of the 'Space Observatory'!"

Seeing the students' enthusiasm for their research, Lucien nodded in satisfaction and headed for his office, when his monocle suddenly became hot.

"Lucian, are you free?" Douglas's kind and calm voice rang out.

Lucien smiled and said, "Anytime, Your Excellency Speaker, what's the matter?"

"My space jumping teleportation array has been set up, do you want to go with me in pursuit of the sun?" Douglas laughed.

Lucien was silent for a moment, then said, "This is exactly what I expected. (To be continued......)
