Chapter 163: Plagiarized?
In the venue, Qi Xishao looked at Xu Chuan in surprise, and even forgot that the acceptance report meeting was being held.
He seriously doubted that he had just misheard.
The most ideal search for decay channels coupled between Higgs and Yukawa, the third-generation heavy quark, was it really done through mathematics?
Is this possible?
Theoretically, this is possible.
But in fact, he has been working for many years, but he has never heard of a single laboratory or university or physicist who has done this.
This is enough to prove the difficulty of this road.
Xu Chuan didn't care about Qi Xishao's gaze, his purpose in learning mathematics was here.
Using mathematics to help him progress in other fields such as physics and materials is his original intention, and this is what he has always done.
Yawning, he shook his head and replied, "I haven't figured it out yet, but I went to Professor David Gross the other day and talked to him, and we found a path that should work, and I'm currently working on it." ”
"I haven't figured it out yet, but I've found a way to get there."
Xu Chuan shook his head and replied, he hasn't calculated it to be true yet, but it should be soon, he has a hunch that the breakthrough he got from David Gross is correct.
The mentor's press conference is still going on, but he's going to be a little sleepy.
These days, he has been staying up late to analyze and calculate, sleeping no more than six hours a day, all supported by Red Bull and the spirit of wanting to calculate the data directly.
This will be interrupted, and the heat in the venue is full, and the sleepiness in the body can't stop coming up one by one.
If he hadn't sat in the first row, next to the camera, he might have to come up to the stage to explain, and he would have fallen asleep in his chair.
"Professor Gross? Do you still know the chairman? Hearing Xu Chuan's reply, Qi Xishao glanced at it enviously.
Although he is a full researcher, he has not met Professor David Gross very often.
An ordinary researcher is too far from the level of the chairman of such a large global organization.
Xu Chuan yawned again, and replied surgingly: "I found my mentor Witten, and he recommended it to me." ”
"I almost forgot, you still have this relationship in it, so in this way, Professor Gross is still your ancestor."
Qi Xishao patted his head, he patronized and envied Xu Chuan for getting Professor Gross's guidance, and almost forgot that they were in the same lineage.
With Professor Gross pointing out, it is indeed possible to find the best way to search for decay channels through mathematics to find the coupling of Higgs with Yukawa, a third-generation heavy quark.
After all, this is a Nobel Prize winner in physics.
Envy is dead, why doesn't he have such a chance?
But what Qi Xishao didn't know was that Professor Gross didn't do anything other than give a suggestion.
The entire calculation process, methods, and data analysis were all completed by Xu Chuan himself.
Of course, this is not to say that this advice is not important, but it does serve as a key enlightenment.
Without this suggestion, Xu Chuan himself would have thought of using the soft gluon resummation effect calculation of the lateral momentum distribution to make a breakthrough, and I don't know how long it would take.
He did stand at the pinnacle of physics in his previous life, but that doesn't mean he can solve all the problems alone.
Compared with those systematic protagonists hanging on the wall, he is just an ordinary person.
When faced with a brand-new problem, you can only rely on the knowledge and experience in your mind to analyze and break through, and you can't directly find a breakthrough with the help of plug-ins.
.......
The acceptance report will be very smooth, and it will be completed in more than half an hour.
Xu Chuan was ready to explain on stage, but the other physicists in the auditorium didn't ask any questions at all.
After saying hello to his mentor, Xu Chuan returned to the hotel and fell directly on the bed without taking a shower.
This sleep, he slept directly from 4 o'clock in the afternoon to more than 3 o'clock in the morning, and more than ten hours of sleep finally made up for his energy consumption in the past few days.
After getting up from the bed and taking a shower to refresh himself, Xu Chuan sat back at the table with a bag of yogurt in his mouth.
In Europe, dairy products such as milk, yogurt, butter, and cheese are very common here, but Xu Chuan doesn't like milk very much, and always feels that there is a surging smell in it.
Fragrance? Fishy smell? Xu Chuan couldn't tell what it was, but it did have a smell that he didn't like very much.
As for the yogurt, the smell disappears after fermentation, and some sugar, honey, and other additives in the jam are added to make it taste better.
On the glass table, the calculations that were not completed yesterday are messily placed on it, and the manuscript paper carries dense mathematical and physical symbols, and formulas connect them together to point to the final answer.
With yogurt in his mouth, Xu Chuan picked up the ballpoint pen on the table and began to continue the work that had not been completed yesterday.
“..... Derived from the LUND chord crushing function, the □ has reached the □ point from the optical □ to the □ in the positive direction......"
"The probability of a hadron being born in □ is f(z+)dz+....."
"Probability □: h(Γ?)dΓ?y?f(z+)dz+......."
“........”
"When the □□□ of infinite energy is broken n times, the distribution of the n particles □ as:"
“dp(z,s; p?? ...... p?n)=ds*dz/z(1-z)αexp(-bΓ)*δ(1-∑n|j
=1*m2/uj).........”
“..........“
At his desk, Xu Chuan slid the ballpoint pen in his hand to separate the data from the dalitz diagram and integrate it with mathematics.
An attempt is made to find a corresponding functional relationship to determine the Yukawa coupling distribution between Higgs and the third-generation heavy quarks (top quark t and bottom quark b).
This is a very tedious task, and it is necessary to combine mathematical knowledge with physical knowledge to establish a new method.
But Xu Chuan enjoyed it.
Because this is a new promotion for him, he has not had a new breakthrough in physics for a long time.
But today he felt the thrill again.
The combination of mathematics and physics has once again expanded the boundaries that could not be broken before, which also made Xu Chuan more and more convinced that the path he chose after his rebirth was right.
.......
The Daritz diagram on the computer is constantly flipped with the calculation, and the collision data of one term is dissected from it, and then substituted into the mathematical formula.
In the case that a breakthrough has been found, the rest of the calculation is not an impossible thing for him to do now.
From the calculation of the soft gluon resummation effect of the transverse momentum distribution, the quantum chromodynamics is wound back to the quantum chromodynamics, and then an energy level upper limit is given to the coupled decay of the Higgs particle through quark confinement.
Step by step, Xu Chuan used the data in his hand to peel back the cocoon, and used mathematics to find the most ideal search decay channel for the coupling of Higgs and Yukawa, the third-generation heavy quark.
I don't know how long it has been, but when the pen in my hand was put down again, two sets of data on the manuscript paper quietly surfaced.
[The SGER equation is..... The eigenvalue of the corresponding energy is EA=(N+1/2)A, the decay energy level of H→bb-bar is 128geV~131geV, and H→BB(μVBF=3.0^+1.7~-1.6). 】
Staring at these two sets of data, Xu Chuan's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction and a sense of achievement.
He figured it out.
The ideal search decay channel for the coupling of Higgs with the Yukawa of the third-generation heavy quark is calculated.
Although the correctness of these two sets of data has not been verified by collision experiments, theoretically it is impossible for them to be wrong.
There are so many things that can deceive the human eye for a physics experiment, especially a high-energy collision experiment launched by the Large Particle Collider.
But for mathematics, as long as the calculation is correct, the answer must be correct.
At least, Xu Chuan is confident in his calculation process.
All that's left is to wait for LHC to verify it.
.......
In the room, Xu Chuan sorted out the manuscript paper on the table, entered the calculation process and method into the computer, and converted it into PDF and PPT projection files for saving.
He calculated the best search for decay channels coupled by Higgs to Yukawa of the third generation of heavy quarks, but this was not enough, and he needed the help of using LHC to validate his data.
If the coupling phenomenon between Higgs and the third generation of heavy quarks can be successfully discovered according to the calculation results, it will be proved that he is right.
For now, that's just a theory.
After dealing with these, Xu Chuan sent emails to his mentors Chen Zhengping, Witten, and David Gross, the chairman of the board of directors.
This analysis and calculation is based on Chen Zhengping's experimental data, and he naturally has the right to know.
Sending an email to Witten and Professor Gross requires their help.
For example, for the collision test in the second half of this year, you must submit an application at least in the first half of the year, and it will be arranged only after the review is passed.
This is the basis for operation.
After all, it is a large-scale cooperative organization in the world, and its funding comes from various countries, and the arrangement of the collision experiment is a top priority, and there are many things to consider.
LH's other experimental equipment, it is the largest and most important large strong particle collider in the world today.
There are countless ideas and theories in the high-energy physics community, but there is only one LHC, and the theories that can be verified are limited, so the annual collision arrangement must be discussed in advance and debated for a long time.
If you want to cut the queue, you need to request a briefing and then present your theory at the briefing.
If the Board finds your report important enough, they may consider postponing a subsequent collision experiment and installing one for you.
Other than that, there is hardly any other way.
........
After processing the data in his hand, Xu Chuan got up and went downstairs, ready to buy something to eat.
But just then, his phone rang.
Xu Chuan took out his mobile phone and called him with an unexpected name.
"Hey, Senior Brother Hu."
Xu Chuan answered the phone and said hello.
The person who called him was Hu Xingjian, who I met at the Morning Star Mathematics Award ceremony last time, a graduate student of Riyue University and a disciple of Academician Zhang Weiping.
"Kawajin, I didn't expect you to remember me."
On the other end of the phone, Hu Xingjian's voice was a little surprised, as if he was surprised that Xu Chuan still remembered him.
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Is there anything wrong with me?" ”
"That's right, Kawajin, have you been paying attention to Advances in Mathematics lately?" Hu Xingjian asked on the phone.
Xu Chuan shook his head and asked curiously, "No, what's wrong, is there any new progress in the mathematical world?" ”
It's no wonder that he asked, after all, the only thing that has to do with mathematics journals is the mathematical results.
However, he has been studying physics for the last few months and has not paid much attention to the mathematical community.
Moreover, "Progress in Mathematics" is a domestic mathematics journal, although it can be ranked among the top three in China, but it is not of high importance in the world, and the importance of the papers landed on it is average, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and he didn't even open the other party's message prompt.
It is an unavoidable fact that the top journals are basically controlled by Western countries.
"Then I'll send you a link, you can take a look first." Hu Xingjian didn't say anything directly, but threw a link through the software.
Xu Chuan curiously clicked on the link and looked at the content.
[Another new major achievement in the history of Chinese mathematics; Peking University professor Mo Kun proves the non-null hypothesis of the rankin-selberg L-function! or a breakthrough in the program of the Langlands. 】
The title is a typical marketing account style, but the content surprised Xu Chuan.
Is the Rankin-Selberg L-function non-null hypothesis proved?
This is one of the core problems of the L-function under the Langlands program.
He had previously talked to Avila Artur, a professor of mathematics in Brazil, and had studied with Professor Deligne in Princeton some time ago, so he had some understanding of the problems in the Langlands program.
This hypothesis was first proposed in the 70s of the 20th century. After the hypothesis is proposed, many important results about the special values of the l-function are obtained on the basis of the non-null hypothesis.
But no one has ever given a clear answer to how to prove this hypothesis.
The reviewer of the Journal of the Chinese Mathematical Society has pointed out that the non-null hypothesis is "a fundamental difficulty in all work" in this direction, which shows the difficulty of this problem.
But the name Mo Kun is a little familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere?
Staring at the name in the title, Xu Chuan felt a hint of familiarity in his heart.
After thinking about it, he suddenly recalled.
"Mo Kun, isn't this the mathematics professor from Peking University that I met at the Morning Star Mathematics Award ceremony before? At the beginning, we were discussing it together. ”
"It's really unseemly, if he's not mistaken, this Professor Mo of Peking University is at least in his fifties in terms of appearance, right?"
Xu Chuan sighed, although more than fifty years old is not an advanced age, but at this age can still tirelessly study mathematics, this spirit is really admirable.
Thinking about it, Xu Chuan sat back in front of the computer.
Although he does not subscribe to Advances in Mathematics, Advances in Mathematics has a website where published papers are published.
If Professor Mo had proved that the Rankin-Selberg L-function non-null hypothesis had been published, he would have found it there.
Sure enough, after connecting to the website of Peking University's mathematics journal through the tool, Xu Chuan saw the paper on the homepage.
Proof of the non-null hypothesis of the Rankin-Selberg L-function. 】
Through the pdf tool, the paper was downloaded, and Xu Chuan clicked on the paper, ready to read it.
After all, the Rankin-Selberg non-null hypothesis of the L-function is still very important in the Langlands program, and it is related to the field of special value research of L-functions.
However, as he flipped through it, Xu Chuan's complexion gradually became strange.
The central tool of the paper appears to be the same argument he and Professor Artur Avila made in May.
Despite some minor changes, there are few changes to the core thinking and calculation process.
It's just that at that time, he and Professor Artur Avila were working in the direction of the new Mason conjecture, and it seems that Professor Mo applied it to the proof of the non-null hypothesis of the L-function.
In any case, it is certain that Professor Mo has directly 'borrowed' the results of him and Professor Artur Ávila.
Not only the core idea, but even the calculation method and some calculation data have been directly copied over.
And he didn't say hello to Professor Artur Ávila, isn't this a little bit inauthentic?
Xu Chuan was almost certain that this Professor Mo had not greeted Professor Artur Ávila, and if he had, Artur Ávila would definitely contact him.
After all, this is a joint research between the two of them, and if they want to borrow it from someone else, they must greet another companion according to the rules of the academic world.
"Let's ask Professor Avila first, and ask him if he knows."
Staring at the paper, Xu Chuan shook his head.
If Professor Artur Ávila didn't know about it, it would be a bit serious.
