On the tenth day after the end of New Year's Day in 19, the selection of outstanding people of the year in the first year of NTU also began.

Taking time out in advance, Xu Chuan, dressed in formal clothes, returned to his alma mater to participate in this important event for the university.

In fact, the award ceremony of the Person of the Year is basically available in most colleges and universities.

Those who can get awards at this kind of award ceremony are either top students, or students who started their own businesses in school or have made certain achievements.

For students, this award is actually very good, and the gold content is also high, at least, to find a job after graduation, this certificate can bring you a lot of improvement, and many companies are recognized.

In his freshman year, he also won this award, and the prize money was 15,000 yuan, although it was not much, but for students, the money was not bad.

Whether it's for living expenses or doing something you like, it's enough.

And in addition to the bonus, what is more critical is the honor behind this bonus.

It is important to know that the selection of outstanding people of the year covers three groups: 'college students + graduate students + doctoral students'.

In terms of the size of NTU, there are almost 40,000 students in this school and its branch campuses combined, and the significance of standing out from these 40,000 students is far from being described by that little bonus.

Just like the Fields Medal, even though it only has a prize of 15,000 Canadian dollars, the meaning behind this medal is incomparable to 150 million Canadian dollars.

】

......

Just like last year, this year's NTU side of the year has selected 10 people.

After arriving at the school, Xu Chuan first said hello to his tutor Chen Zhengping, Professor Zhou Hai of the Academy of Mathematics and other acquaintances, chatted outside the auditorium for a while, and then went to the podium to present the guest seat under the reception of the staff.

When Xu Chuan appeared on the podium, there was a commotion in the auditorium.

The students who came to the award ceremony did not expect that this legendary god would appear here.

The sound of rustling sounded in the auditorium, and some students even raised their mobile phones to take pictures.

For this scene, the college leaders and professors at the award table all smiled.

Or this is popular.

It is not only the honor of the university to produce such a top scholar at NTU, but also the luck of NTU.

......

At ten o'clock in the morning, the selection of outstanding people in 2018 officially began.

Looking at this group of young faces, Xu Chuan sighed a little in his heart.

When was he, he was also in this group, and now, he has stood on the stage to present them with awards.

I have to say that time passes really fast, and four or five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The first person to take the stage to accept the award was a graduate student from the Department of Physics.

As one of the ace majors of NTU, the achievements of this graduate student named 'Pan Xinghai' can be described as outstanding even among a group of top students.

He has participated in a number of scientific research projects as a key member of the state, senior officials and enterprises.

During his university + graduate studies, he published a total of six SCI papers in well-known international journals such as Physical Review X and Physical Review B.

Among them, three SCI Zone 1 journal papers were included as the first author, and one SCI Zone 1 journal paper (one by supervisor) was included as the second author, with a total impact factor of more than 30 points.

Such an achievement, put on a graduate student, can be described as a student bully among the top students ~ demon school bully.

is just such a demon, when he was greeted to the stage by the host, his face was full of excitement.

"Congratulations, Pan."

On the podium, Xu Chuan, who was invited to present the award, smiled and groaned as he received the certificate and medal from the ceremonial staff and delivered them to the graduate student with heavy black-rimmed glasses in front of him.

"Kawajin!"

A slightly trembling hand took the award certificate, and the physics student held Xu Chuan's hand with an excited face.

Xu Chuan coughed a little embarrassed, and said, "Forget about the god of Sichuan or something, it sounds weird and embarrassing, I'm a professor at school, just call me Professor Xu." ”

Pan Xinghai nodded excitedly, and quickly said, "Okay Chuan.... Professor. ”

The corners of Xu Chuan's mouth moved, the Sichuan God was gone, what the hell is this Professor Chuan, isn't it good to call Professor Xu or Professor.

But he didn't say anything, and patted this classmate Pan's arm with a smile.

Speaking of which, this classmate Pan is older than him, and he seems to be twenty-four or five years old this year.

"Chuan... Professor, can you, please sign my name? As if a fanatical fan saw his idol, Pan Xinghai asked excitedly and cautiously.

Xu Chuan smiled and nodded, groped around his body, and asked after finding that he didn't have a pen with him: "Of course you can, but do you have a pen and paper?" ”

Hearing this, Pan Xinghai was stunned for a moment, then quickly groped around his body, and shook his head in frustration: "No." ”

He didn't expect his idol to appear at today's awards ceremony, so he didn't bring pen and paper with him.

Although there is a bag in the audience, it will be too late to go down and get it.

Just as he regretted missing the signature this time, the etiquette staff on the side walked up silently, handed Xu Chuan a pen and a notebook, and said softly by the way:

"Professor Xu, just sign on this, this book can be given to the winners, and everyone on our side has prepared one."

Seeing this, Pan Xinghai was stunned for a moment, and his eyes instantly brightened.

NTU is worthy of his alma mater, and I thought of it!

Terrible!

On the other side, Xu Chuan was also stunned for a moment, but then took the pen and paper from the other party's hand with a smile, turned the first page, and wrote on it:

"May your future journey have stars and seas in your eyes, thousands of hills and ravines in your chest, and flowers in your heart - Xu Chuan."

After writing a sentence in the notebook, Xu Chuan smiled and handed the notebook in his hand to the winner in front of him.

"Thank you, thank you, Professor!" Pan Xinghai held Xu Chuan's hand excitedly again, it was obvious that the words above were written by him alone!

From today onwards, this sentence is exclusive to him! His motto!

Xu Chuan smiled, pulled out his hand without a trace, and said with a smile: "Come on." ”

"I will." Pan Xinghai nodded excitedly, hesitated for a moment and continued: "Then, that, Professor Chuan, do you still accept doctoral students?" ”

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "I'm afraid not for the time being, I have a lot of things on my hands recently, and I don't have time to take students." ”

Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Pan Xinghai's eyes, which was probably a tactful refusal, but he was not discouraged, and then asked: "Then, Professor Nachuan, can I ask for an authoritative friend or contact information?" ”

Xu Chuan: "......"

......

In the end, Xu Chuan still gave his prestige to this little fan brother, and it is indeed true that he has not accepted students in the near future.

Not to mention the new students, even the two students brought from Princeton he didn't care much recently, and he didn't know how the two of them were learning, so he still had to find a chance to take a test.

The second person to take the stage to receive the award was a doctoral student from the Department of Astronomy.

As another trump card major, the astronomy department of NTU is still quite good, and no one will object to being the first in domestic universities.

This doctoral student's resume is also quite good, leading the team to win the gold medal in the CAIC competition co-sponsored by the Chinese Astronomical Society and the Astronomy Committee of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education, and also holds one SCI Zone 2 paper and three SCI Zone 3 papers.

You must know that water papers in the astronomical field are relatively difficult, especially in the current lack of large-scale astronomical facilities in China, this student can still make such a result, which can be said to be quite difficult.

What surprised Xu Chuan even more was that the mathematics of this winner was quite good.

Two of his three SCI papers are related to mathematics, and one is related to the extended application of his previous Nobel Prize-winning Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem.

I have to say that as his alma mater, NTU has done a good job of keeping up with the latest cutting-edge scientific theories.

The year before last, the subject of computational astronomy was introduced, and although it is still only a minor in astronomy, it is already very good compared to other schools in China that have not made much movement.

Like the previous classmate Pan, this classmate Zhou was also excited when he saw him, and when he came up, he shook his sign and said amazingly: "I won't wash my hands for a week after shaking hands this time!" ”

Xu Chuan: "......"

Staff on the side: "......"

Thanks to the fact that this classmate didn't have a microphone in his hand, otherwise he would have lost the right of first choice in front of thousands of people in the auditorium.

Following the previous process, Xu Chuan took the pen and paper from the hands of the etiquette staff, wrote a message of encouragement on the first page, and then gave it to the winner.

.....

In the process of asking for autographs, writing autographs, and awarding awards, this year's annual outstanding person selection activity is soon coming to an end.

I have to say that as a top strong university in China, NTU still has quite a lot of talents.

The ten winners, each with a very good resume, Xu Chuan also wished them a bright future and greater achievements on the road of academics in his notebook.

At the invitation of the school leaders, they had lunch together at noon, and to his surprise, he saw a familiar figure in the hotel.

"Long time no see, Senior Brother Lin Feng. How are you doing lately? In the restaurant of Jinling Hotel, Xu Chuan smiled and stepped forward to greet Lin Feng.

The last time the two parted ways in Princeton, this Senior Brother Lin and his little girlfriend chose to return to China, and they haven't seen each other for more than a year.

"Long time no see, Senior Brother Chuan!"

Seeing Xu Chuan, Lin Feng walked up and gave a warm hug: "Thanks to you, it's not bad over there." ”

"It's just that when chatting over there, everyone's attention is often on you, for example, when you introduce me, you will basically mention in passing, 'This is Professor Xu Chuan's senior brother from the same school'."

"You don't know, you're really hot right now, and a lot of people are studying the calculation method you came up with before. I also took a look, but unfortunately I wasn't good at math and couldn't figure it out. ”

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't been there for a while, it's really a nostalgic day." ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "At present, we are also a member of the country, you can go at any time." ”

Xu Chuan shook his head, skipped the topic and asked, "I'm afraid I don't have time to pass for the time being, what have you been studying over there lately?" ”

After 18 years of research, he still knows it, but after he inserted it and changed some things in the first two years, he doesn't know if there has been any change in the arrangement over there.

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "It's still the same, Atlas and CMS spend most of their time studying the Higgs boson, and LHCB is looking for quarks. ”

"On Alice's side, I heard that some time ago they made a high-energy collision experiment to simulate the original cosmic form after the Big Bang and analyze the properties of quark-gluon plasma."

"But it doesn't seem like their luck is very good, and nothing has been found so far."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan's heart moved and asked, "Did Hua Guo participate in Alice's experiment?" ”

If it weren't for Lin Feng, he would have almost forgotten one thing.

18 years was the year when he became famous in the physics world in his last life, and the reason for this was because of the discovery of traces of the existence of inert neutrinos.

Neutrinos, also known as neutrinos, are a type of lepton and one of the most basic particles that make up nature.

It is small, uncharged, can freely pass through the earth, spin is 1/2, the mass is very light, some are less than one millionth of an electron, move at close to the speed of light, and the interaction with other matter is very weak, known as the "invisible man" in the universe.

It took more than twenty years for the physics community to predict its existence to discover it.

On November 23, 2013, scientists used particle detectors buried under the Antarctic ice to capture high-energy neutrinos originating outside our solar system for the first time.

Today, the physics community has confirmed that there are three different types of neutrinos: electron neutrinos, μ neutrinos, and t neutrinos.

However, in 1995, the LSND experiment in the United States proposed a 'possible' fourth type of neutrino - an inert neutrino.

Inert neutrinos are another state of neutrinos, which involves some relationships between particles.

Ordinary neutrinos, also known as active neutrinos, were first proposed by Austrian theoretical physicist Wolfgang Pauli.

They are almost ubiquitous and can arise from the Big Bang, galactic activity, supernova explosions, the center of the Sun and the interior of the Earth, as well as nuclear reactors and particle accelerators.

Inert neutrinos, on the other hand, are hypothetical particles for which there is no reliable experimental evidence, and were first proposed by Italian theoretical physicist Bruno Pontikov around 1968.

Refers to neutrinos that do not participate in standard weak interaction processes, so they are often understood as novel particles that surpass the standard model third-generation lepton framework.

Compared with ordinary active neutrinos, the discovery of inert neutrinos is also related to another cosmic substance - dark matter!

Because theoretically, it does not participate in any interaction other than gravity and is a candidate for warm dark matter.

If the existence of inert neutrinos can be found, the existence of dark matter in the universe can be proved.

This is of great significance to the physics community.
