The shorter the word, the larger the amount of information.

After Lenovo returned to the Lu International academic conference to return to the Brussels International Theory Physics Conference, Lu Zhou had already vaguely predicted that Frank Professor might be an important thing to say to himself.

So, he did not sneak in and replied quickly.

[When can I see you when you are free? 】

After a while, Frank Professor did not reply.

Lu Zhou looked at the time and estimated that he probably fell asleep, then got up and went into the bathroom for a shower and went to rest.

Nothing in the night.

The next morning, Lu Zhou got out of bed with an alarm and checked the e-mail, and she received a reply.

[The day after tomorrow I will go to Shixi University, I will probably stay there for three days. If you have time, we can meet there. 】

Lu Zhou looked at the calendar.

There was a lecture two days later, but he had already asked for the fall of Professor Pierre Deligne.

After thinking about it, he edited an email and replied.

[Okay, then the day after tomorrow, I will contact you. 】

The reply has only two letters.

[OK]

……

Located on the east coast of New York, it is the economic and cultural hub of the entire East Coast and one of the East Coast’s technology centers.

Many people know that Wall Street and Broadway on Manhattan Island, but few people know that it is on the Long Island next door, and also one of the world’s top comprehensive scientific research bases – Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Many Nobel Prizes have been born here, including the non-conservation of the pseudonym of Yang Zhenduo and Lee Roundeous Path, and the J particles found in Ding Yuzhong. There are currently about 3,000 researchers and engineers here, and there are an average of more than 4,000 visits to Scholar work each year.

Although not as good as CERN, it is also a considerable number.

To a large extent, the meaning of the collider is here. On the surface, it seems that a novel particle does not immediately change the human livelihood, but it can attract a large number of Scholars to gather here, and spawn a large number of suppliers focused on cutting-edge equipment, and form a huge “scientific research ecology”. .

For example, the Hadron Collider’s storage ring requires nearly harsh vacuum conditions, which has led to the development of ultra-high vacuum technology, which ultimately has industrial value in the medical and electronics industries.

And there are many similar things.

The laboratory is currently part of the Department of Energy, but is managed by the Brookhaven Science Society, a company founded by Stony Brook University and the Battle Institute.

It was just Monday that Lu Zhou drove a new car and arrived in New York.

Frank Professor and his appointment to meet at the coffee shop in front of Stony Brook University. I don’t know if it is Lu Zhou’s illusion. I always feel that he knows several professors and has a special liking for coffee.

Sitting at the coffee shop at twelve o’clock, Frank Professor arrived at the meeting place on time, and carried a laptop in his hand.

“Not good means that I have been in a meeting for a while and have kept you waiting.”

Lu Zhou laughed said: “No, I just arrived.”

Sitting opposite Lu Zhou, Frank Professor saw the waiter and said with a relaxed tone: “Give me a cup of American coffee and a tuna sandwich.”

Waiter: “Do you need to add sugar?”

“No need to.”

While ordering the waiter, Frank Professor put the laptop on the table and opened the folder. Looked towards Lu Zhou and asked, “You brought a USB flash drive.”

Lu Zhou nodded, put the U disk out of my pocket and put it on the table. “With it… can you tell me what it is? Although I don’t mind drinking coffee with you, but if it’s just by data, why do we? Don’t use email as usual?”

Frank Professor did not answer the question immediately, but instead operated the computer, opened a chart file, and then turned the laptop in front of Lu Zhou.

Looking at the image on the screen, Lu Zhou slightly frowned, “Is this?”

Frank Professor moved the chair to the side of the table, the image on the screen said.

“This is CERN’s latest experimental record. The two charts above are the distribution curves and statistical charts of the energy regions collected by the ATLAS and CMS detectors. You should be able to see the meaning of this picture.”

Staring at the image for a while, Lu Zhou’s expression gradually became dignified. “The confidence level has fallen back?”

Frank Professor softly sighed, “Yes, no matter how many sets of experiments we repeat, the confidence level still does not meet the 3sigma standard. And at the end of last year’s experiment, the characteristic peaks appearing in the 750GeV energy region, and even shrinkage…that is The phenomenon of confidence that you see falls back.”

Staring at the icon for a long time, Lu Zhou hasn’t spoken for a long time.

He vaguely guessed that Frank Professor had to talk to him face to face.

Seeing Lu Zhou without opening, Frank Professor paused for a moment and continued.

“At the end of the year, this large-scale international theoretical Physics conference in Brussels is very large. It’s a pity that you missed that meeting.”

“The latest discovery on the report accelerator was the newly elected 16 chairman of the CERN Council, Ms. Fabiola Giannoti. The scene of the conference was full, many people sat on the ground, even outside. Corridor.”

“The report reported a lot of things, especially after spending a full 20 minute, reporting CERN’s discovery on 750GeV.”

“You should understand these pictures, or you can bring them back to study,” said Frank Professor sighed, whispering, “although the meaning is not great.”

Lu Zhou didn’t look at the computer any more, but stared at Frank Professor, waiting for him to continue.

In response to the Junior’s vision, Frank Professor shrugged, trying to make his tone sound less heavy, continued: “But in any case, you have helped a lot. From May last year to two months ago, Arxiv There are a lot of thesis on it, and there are many novel physics models. They are not necessarily correct, but they are very useful. And the two thesis we have worked together have been cited many times by peers.”

Although this sentence sounds like comfort, Lu Zhou has no feeling of comfort at all.

He has spent half a year on this subject, although for a theoretical Physics, half a year is nothing, not even enough for them to regain their hair, but for Lu Zhou, this The meaning of the topic is completely different.

Not only because of the models he built from the time he was busy, but also because of his hopes on 750GeV…

Deep call took a deep breath, Lu Zhou looked at Frank Professor, slowly said, “What do you mean?”

The reaction of Frank Professor confirmed his guess.

I saw the old man standing up and taking off his hat, slightly nodded, expressing gratitude.

“CERN’s official interpretation of the experts of the various countries is hopeful, but it is clear that from the experimental plan after 1 month 1, there will be no more experiments to retrieve 750GeV characteristic peaks because it is disappearing, and Every collision of particle clusters is burning money. It is a pleasure to work with you. I sincerely thank you for your work, but…”

As a result, Frank Professor cleared his throat and bowed his eyes, expressing regret. “Intellect tells us that building a physics model to explain why 750GeV does not have particles is much easier than finding a non-existing particle.”

However, the meaning of this work is not that big, that’s all.

Explain why a particle does not exist, and this kind of guess that cannot be verified or verified can be at most the level of Dr. thesis. It may be possible to help several unfinished high-energy physics doctors to get their degree smoothly, but it is far from “new physics.”

Lu Zhou has been silent for a long time.

After a long time, he seemed to make up his mind and said.

“But I haven’t given up yet.”

Frank Professor didn’t say anything more, put on his hat again, and gently sighed.

“That good luck.”
