In the Nuclear Research Center building, David Gross checks his emails on a daily basis and deals with emails that need to be replied to.

As the president of the council, he receives hundreds of emails every day, and it is normal for him to reach two or three hundred.

However, most of the emails are useless or related to the work schedule, which is easy for him to deal with.

After disposing of an experiment request report, Gross clicked on the next email.

“xu，？”

His eyes fell on the sender's name, which made him involuntarily stunned for a moment.

This name, if he remembers correctly, seems to be the genius boy from Huaguo.

A few days ago, I also talked to him about how to use mathematics to narrow down the optimal search decay channel for the coupling of Higgs with Yukawa, a third-generation heavy quark.

"Do you still have any doubts about this?"

Gross thought and clicked on the email.

He had a good impression of Xu Chuan, who was a real genius, and if it went well, he might be able to further promote it in a certain field of physics in the future.

In addition to this, the two have some relationship.

After all, he is Edward Witten's mentor, and Edward Witten is Xu Chuan's mentor. In this way, in Hua Guo's words, he is the ancestor, and with this relationship, Gross is not stingy with his own guidance.

Clicking on the email, the headline came into his eyes.

[The most ideal search for decay channels coupled between Higgs and Yukawa of the third-generation heavy quark]

The title of the email made his brown-black holes shrink slightly.

"Is this, calculated?"

A wave of doubt rose in Gross's heart, and he couldn't believe it.

It takes a lot of time to find a breakthrough in a problem, determine the idea, verify the idea, speculate on the process, and calculate the result.

But it's only been a few days?

If he's not mistaken, it seems like it's been less than a week since he last talked to the other party.

In one week, the calculation of the optimal search decay channel for the coupling of Higgs with Yukawa of the third-generation heavy quark can be completed.

It's also incredible.

Or is this email sent to him just a theory, and no final data calculations?

At the very least, Gross doesn't believe anyone can go from finding a breakthrough to completing the final data calculations in such a short period of time.

Impatiently, he continued to look down.

As the lines of text and data calculations came into view, Gross couldn't help but start to marvel in his heart.

Even if you haven't seen the results yet, these ingenious calculations are enough to open your eyes.

"Starting from the soft gluon resuming effect of the transverse momentum distribution, winding back to quantum chromodynamics, and then giving an upper limit to the energy level through the coupled decay of the Higgs particle through quark confinement....."

"It's incredible, it's really an ingenious way to use the string breakage function to complete the □distribution of n particles, and the mathematical method can be applied to physics in this way."

Staring at the calculations on the computer, David Gross muttered to himself.

As one of the founders of quantum chromodynamics, his mathematics is not bad, although it cannot be compared with the top mathematicians who specialize in mathematics, but at least it is much better than ordinary physicists. Otherwise, how could Edward Witten learn mathematics under his tutelage?

But for now, he was still amazed by Xu Chuan's calculations.

Not only those mathematical formulas and ideas, but also the ingenious process of this calculation, almost perfectly combining mathematics and physics.

Those unexpected mathematical methods are strangely and ingeniously integrated into physical theories, building a new bridge for the communication of mathematical physics.

That's what amazes him the most.

.......

【..... The eigenvalue of the corresponding energy is ea=(n+1/2)a, the decay energy level of h→bb-bar is 128gev~131gev, h→bb(μvbf=3.0^+1.7~-1.6)]

It took David Gross more than an hour to read the email.

The final answer was deeply imprinted in his mind at this moment, and even made him a little impulsive, wanting to immediately start the LHC collision experiment to verify whether the calculation data was correct.

Because the whole calculation process is so exquisite.

At the desk, Gross took off his eyes and rubbed his somewhat astringent eyes, then stood up again and moved his muscles.

For him, an old man in his seventies, sitting for more than an hour was not a pleasant thing.

But it would give him enough mental pleasure from an email, and the physical torture would be nothing.

With a brief movement, Gross sat back down at his desk, this time not continuing his work, but picking up his phone and dialing Edward Witten in Princeton.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Hey, Witten, did you read the mailbox?"

"It's been two days, what's wrong?"

On the other end of the line, Professor Edward Witten's puzzled voice came over, and Gross smiled and said, "I suggest you take a look, the contents may surprise you." ”

Hanging up the phone, Gross sat back in front of the computer, manipulated the mouse and keyboard to reply to Xu Chuan's email.

He needed Xu Chuan to submit a request for a presentation and an application for the LHC's particle collision experiment.

Although he is the president of the council, he does not have much power over the use of the LHC.

This is something that needs to be discussed by the members of the Board of Directors.

Of course, in this process, his words still have a certain weight.

As for arranging a briefing, that's nothing, it's a no-brainer.

.......

After replying to Xu Chuan's email, Professor Gross waited for nearly an hour before receiving a call from Witten.

"I read the email, and it was a pleasant surprise." Witten said with a sigh.

"The idea of using mathematical methods to calculate the optimal search for decay channels coupled to Yukawa of the third generation of Higgs and the third-generation heavy quark is really surprising, and even more surprisingly, he actually did it."

In the office, David Gross smiled and said, "It looks like you have a successor." ”

At the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, Witten said noncommittally, "Maybe, but now it seems that I should go." ”

"Come on, the next collision experiment may be the time to witness a miracle."

"If we can successfully find the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between Higgs and the third-generation heavy quark, maybe we can find more things with this."

David Gross was smiling happily, and if the teenager's calculations were correct, it might be a revolution.

In addition to previous studies, it is possible that the center of gravity, at least part of it, will be biased towards mathematical physics.

The use of mathematics to determine the search pass of a new particle can not only save a lot of money, but also a perfect integration of mathematics and physics, which can bring a new path to high-energy physics and particle physics.

........

, Huaguo Office Area.

The leaders of the scientific research teams of the three universities of Nanjing University, China University of Science and Technology, and Jiaotong University gathered together to exchange and communicate the most ideal search decay channel for the coupling of Higgs and the third-generation heavy quark Yuchuan calculated by Xu Chuan.

and follow-up experimental data analysis and other things and work arrangements.

For the three universities of Nanjing University, China University of Science and Technology, and Jiaotong University, the number of experimental work involved is still quite large.

But this is the first time that we have come together for the same project.

"The decay energy level of h→bb-bar is 128gev~131gev, h→bb(μvbf=3.0^+1.7~-1.6), incredible, who would have thought that the Yukawa coupling energy level data of the third generation of heavy quarks is actually close to the energy level of the Higgs particle?"

"According to the previous standard model and experience, we can almost unanimously agree that the Yukawa coupling energy level of the third-generation heavy quark is above 150 GEV. The last search target was between 160gev~180gev. ”

In the office, Academician Cao Hongyuan, the leader of China University of Science and Technology, looked at the paper in his hand with an expression of amazement.

If there is no problem with the data calculated by Xu Chuan this time, it almost breaks the prediction of previous physicists about the coupling energy level of Higgs and Yukawa of the third generation of heavy quarks.

Although this is also in the prediction of the Standard Model, there is almost unanimous agreement in the physics community that the Yukawa coupling energy level of the third generation of heavy quarks should be higher.

Therefore, the search for this experiment has always been dominated by high-energy regions.

It's no wonder that for more than a year, they still haven't discovered the coupling phenomenon of Yukawa between Higgs and the third-generation heavy quark.

If you follow Xu Chuan's calculations and calculate the work efficiency, I am afraid that the coupling phenomenon of Yukawa between Higgs and the third-generation heavy quark will have to wait until 18 or 19 years.

"It's surprising, but I'm more interested in the calculations in this paper."

On the side, Academician Zhang Jie, the leader of Jiaotong University, pushed the frame of the mirror and continued: "Starting from quantum chromodynamics, the chord fragmentation function is used to complete the distribution □ of n particles, and the coupled decay of the Higgs particle is calculated to give an upper limit of energy level....."

"This method can be said to be a perfect combination of mathematics and physics, and your ability in mathematics is really amazing and beyond imagination."

The last sentence was said by looking at Xu Chuan on the side.

I have to say that what is presented in this paper is really amazing.

The ideal search for decay channels that has not yet been verified can be mentioned for the time being, but the combination of mathematical methods and physical theories in it is eye-catching.

He has been engaged in physics research for so many years, and he has also done some research in the fields of high-energy physics and laser fusion physics, and he has dealt with many professors and scientific researchers. But no one has ever been able to apply mathematical methods so delicately to the realm of physics.

Maybe a top physicist like Edward Witten can do it, but if you put the age at the level of Xu Chuan, it can only be said that this is the only one.

Hearing Academician Zhang Jie's praise, Xu Chuan smiled shyly and said, "There are still many things I have to learn, but this experimental data analysis will trouble a few teachers." ”

As instructed by Professor David Gross, he has submitted an application for the use of the LHC for the Presentation and Large Strong Particle Collision.

The two applications have been met this morning by the board of directors to study the papers and data he submitted, and it has been confirmed that they have been approved, so the experiment has been finalized.

All that's left is to wait for the LHC to conduct experiments based on his calculations.

However, the experiment was scheduled for ten days later.

Ten days is not a long time for the LHC collision experiment, and the start-up of the large strong particle collider also needs to be overhauled and maintained.

It's just that he cut the line this time, and I don't know which unlucky guy was squeezed down.

After all, LHC's collision experiments have been arranged a long time ago, and if he temporarily cut in line, someone will definitely be squeezed out.

But Xu Chuan didn't care, this kind of thing is normal.

Academician Zhang Jie of Jiaotong University said with a smile: "Where is this trouble, we have to thank you for providing this opportunity." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Are you interested in becoming a professor at SJTU after graduation?" Treatment or something, it's all negotiable. ”

Before Xu Chuan could reply, Chen Zhengping on the side couldn't help it, he glared at Zhang Jie and said, "Don't even think about it." ”

On the side, Zhang Jie squinted at Chen Zhengping and said, "Old Chen, you are domineering, where Xu Chuan goes after graduation is his freedom." ”

"Although NTU is his alma mater, no one stipulates that students from any school must return to their alma mater."

"And your mathematics department at NTU, that's ........."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Zhengping scolded back: "What do you mean by an old thing?" What is the Department of Mathematics at NTU? No matter how bad the mathematics department of NTU is, it is better than your Jiaotong University! ”

The two quarreled, and Cao Hongyuan of Huake University on the side watched the excitement with a smile, mixing two sentences from time to time, anyway, they are old friends, and they are noisy.

As for Xu Chuan, he shrank back, this kind of old quarrel, it is better for him to stay away.

.......

Returning to the hotel from the office area, Xu Chuan turned on the computer, and Professor Artur Ávila's email had already returned.

"Dear Xu, I'm glad to hear from you, but the content shocked me, I didn't expect that there would be such a person among the team members of the collaborative project. He used your ideas, theories, and calculations without my consent, without my consent. ”

"I regret that I had him join our discussion in the first place to cause this to happen."

"I'm sorry for the trouble caused to you, I will file a complaint with Peking University."

After reading Professor Avila's reply, Xu Chuan sighed softly.

As he expected, Professor Mo did not contact Artur Avila, nor did he obtain authorization or consent to use his theories and calculations.

This already constitutes plagiarism.

It's just that what Xu Chuan didn't understand was why there were such stupid people.

Stupid and bad.

Needless to say, it's bad.

Stupid purely because the other party has no brains at all.

He was not the only one present, there were four people present, even if he and Hu Xingjian were not taken seriously, there was also Artur Ávila, a Fields Medal winner.

In this case, he dared to directly use other people's ideas and theories, and even the calculation process and data without saying hello.

Is this when someone else doesn't exist?

Any one person who questions it will fall into the whirlpool of public opinion.
