Chapter 218 News from Europe
After submitting the application materials for the Ten Thousand People Plan, Liu Feng returned to the Institute of High Energy Physics.
The experimental application for finding 5 quark particles has been approved, and the preliminary experimental preparations are also under the supervision of Academician Wang.
When he returned to the positive and negative electron collision laboratory, Academician Wang was already leading two senior brothers to do the final debugging of the Beijing spectrometer.
"You boy, are you finally finished?"
When Liu Feng finally appeared in front of him in a white coat, Academician Wang smiled and greeted him.
Speaking of which, when he saw Liu Feng appearing on the news broadcast and being recognized by the Great Elder, he was both relieved and worried as a teacher.
Since he has achieved such achievements in chemistry, what can he do if he continues to work hard in this field?
If Liu Feng is really mediocre in physics and the development of chemistry is put on hold, it depends on how you, a teacher, explain to others!
The rumors here can be imagined without even imagination.
He didn't take this seriously. What really worried him was that such a genius student was afraid that he would not be able to teach him well and delay others!
"Yeah, I'm done!"
Liu Feng nodded and asked embarrassedly.
"Boss, how are you preparing here?"
Speaking of which, he was the one who advocated returning to find 5 quark particles. However, the job he really found was not powerful except for providing a "speculative" result.
The application and preparation for the experiment were all made by Academician Wang and two senior brothers. It looked like I was a ready-made one.
"There is no problem at all! After the Beijing spectrometer debugging is completed, we can officially start construction!"
Academician Wang nodded.
"It just so happens that since you are back, then you can go to your Senior Brother Guo to help. His task is the most arduous."
...
Although the Beijing spectrometer is a large particle physics experimental device designed and developed by China itself, it is composed of a combination of a variety of seed detectors, about 6 meters long, 7 meters high and 500 tons each, it also embodies the efforts of Chinese high-energy physicists for 10 years.
But to be honest, except for the detector whose detection capability in the fixed energy zone can be slightly better than that of the LHCb, the clarity of other energy zones cannot be compared with LHCb; it can even be said that one is the sky and the other is the ground, and the tonnage of the latter is thousands of tons, and the detection capability is 1,000 times that of the former!
However, the detection of the Beijing spectrometer is enough for particles in the standard model theory. Compared with the LHCb, the difference is only in the development and exploration of new physics beyond the model.
At least, the 5-quark particle is completely within the standard model, and its mass bottom is only between 1GeV~10GeV energy zone, completely within the detection range of the Beijing spectrometer.
The previously discovered 6-quark particles with a mass of 22.35GeV and unknown particles with an unknown size of 30GeV to 35GeV are proof of this.
"Senior brother, do you need me to do anything?"
When he arrived at the place where Senior Brother Guo stayed, Liu Feng tiptoed in with a smile on his face.
"You guy, finally come back!"
Senior Brother Guo was busy on the computer. Seeing Liu Feng's slutty smile, I really wanted to slap him!
They have been busy for several days, but you, a kid, can still wander around outside without coming to work, hum!
"It just so happens that you can help me look at the flight time counter and electronics system over there, and report the time to me at any time."
"Okay, no problem!"
The so-called time of flight counter and electronics system are part of the seven major components of the Beijing spectrometer, and its structure is divided into barrel and end.
The barrel part consists of 48 plastic scintillators, light guides, photomultipliers and electronic circuits with a length of 2.8 meters. The end part consists of 2×24 trapezoid scintillators and light guides, photomultipliers and electronic circuits.
Its main function is to distinguish the types of particles through the measured flight time information, combining the momentum and track of the particles measured in the main drift chamber. The detection accuracy of the barrel part is 90ps and the detection accuracy of the end cap is 110ps, and the time measurement accuracy of the reading electronic system is better than 250ps.
“99ps!”
“103ps!”
“137ps!”
...
With Liu Feng's report, Senior Brother Guo summarized the data on the computer and then performed drawing analysis.
It took about an afternoon to adjust the parameters of this instrument.
"Damn it, I'm so tired!"
After entering the last data, Senior Brother Guo finally stood up and stretched.
"Huh~!"
Liu Feng also breathed a sigh of relief.
For an afternoon, I basically stared at the display screen all the time. Even though he always boasted of being an Iron Man, his eyes felt sour and almost couldn't open them.
High-energy physics experiments, especially those conducted on large colliders like this, are almost calculated in months for the last few hours of the experiment, and the manpower required in it is not only one or two can be completed, at least dozens or hundreds of people.
No wonder the research results in high-energy physics have become increasingly rare in the past few decades; unlike chemical experiments, the shorter a few minutes or hours, and the longer it is no more than a day or two - the number of trial and error can be said to be thousands of times.
But what about high-energy physics experiments?
Once an error occurs, I wait until the next experiment, and I will investigate whether it is the reason for the instrument or the parameters. At least dozens of days have passed.
If it is really a problem caused by instruments, it would be even worse;
Just like before the last LHCb restart, it was just because the collision time was delayed by dozens of seconds. CERN checked the entire collider of dozens of kilometers from beginning to end, and it was shut down for almost a year!
In this regard, Liu Feng finally realized the difficulty.
After stretching his waist, Senior Brother Guo felt relieved and turned to Liu Feng and said, "Have you heard that, CERN is about to start experimenting again."
"Hmm? When did these people move so quickly?"
Liu Feng raised his eyebrows and was surprised.
The work efficiency of those people in Europe is not his own. If you put it in China, you will definitely only have the right amount of dirt!
Working from 9 to 5 is a must. Unless the person is extremely interested in the work he is engaged in, it is almost impossible to make them work overtime voluntarily even with high overtime pay.
Anyway, Liu Feng looked down on that trick at all.
Fortunately, China didn't look down on it either, otherwise it would be a fool to rise in a short period of time.
"What are they going to investigate again this time? Is it still Higgs's lewd?"
After a pause, Liu Feng asked curiously.
"hehe!"
Senior Brother Guo smiled, a trace of disdain flashed across his face.
"Those guys look down on us Chinese so much, but this time they follow the idea of a Chinese. That's right, you boy slapped those arrogant guys again! News came from Academician Gao, saying that CERN was going to restart the collider and explore what the 1.1346TeV resonance state you discovered last time was! "
Liu Feng nodded.
1. To be honest, he knows exactly what the resonance state of 1346TeV is.
Just high-quality particles formed in a special state!
Although it is beyond the standard model and can be regarded as a new physics, it does not have much realistic significance.
At least, it is true for the moment.
Because it is neither the supersymmetric particle expected by physicists nor any dark matter, it is just a special heavy particle formed by high-energy collision.
"Look for it! I'm like to see what they can find!"
Liu Feng also curled his lips and showed an indifferent expression.
"Don't you feel regretful? After all, this is the first thing you discovered."
Looking at Liu Feng's expression, Senior Brother Guo said in surprise.
If this thing was discovered by him, he could not participate in the experiment of proving this thing, and he would have the intention to run to blow up LHCb. But he knew that this junior brother was so open-minded.
"Just a bunch of mobs!"
Liu Feng smiled disdainfully.
"No matter how many people there are and how advanced the instruments are, how can we compare to our fellow brothers?"
"This time, I want to compete with those people. Who moves faster and who discovers more refreshing!"
Staring at Liu Feng's confident face, Guo Shengfei was stunned.
this,
Is it the legendary confusing self-confidence?
but,
It's really pretty...
