Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

“... actually this is not over, then NATO didn't know where to hear about it, and came to ask the CERN people if it was true, so guess what the CERN people replied? ”

“How did you reply? ”

Brother Yan imitated Evans' tone and joked: “Of course it's true, but only if you build a strong son collider as big as Saturn, build a reactor as big as the Moon, and throw all three helium on the surface of the Moon into the reactor. Perhaps a black hole of the kind commonly understood could be created if these conditions were met? So, pay first. ”

The ark laughed haha.

Though Brother Yan did not go on, he can guess that NATO definitely did not pay for it.

Build a collider the size of Saturn, and I'm afraid it's the only way to threaten the aliens.

Soon after, the car arrived at the front door of the research center in the North Side.

After parking in the garage, Brother Yan took the ark to the main entrance of the research center.

……

For ease of understanding, simply put, a Hadron Collider can be abstracted into two parts. One is two small pipes wrapped in beryllium metal, and the other is a variety of detectors buried in large pipes outside the two small pipes.

Two near-parallel orbits intersect at one point in a flat “X” shape, accelerating in different directions, and the two particle beam streams “collide” at this intersection.

There are about four “reaction points” like this, and around such reaction points are all kinds of detectors that collect the physical phenomena generated by the instantaneous collision of the particle beam stream.

Of course, it's not so coincidental that all particles can crash, and the particles that crash don't necessarily all so coincidentally disrupt their internal strong interactions.

So the whole collider principle is to plug as many particles as possible into a limited pipeline and accumulate small probability collision cases over a long data buildup.

That's how the Higgs particles that shocked the physics world were discovered.

This research center, which Brother Yan visited with an ark, was responsible for observing and collecting collision data. A number of laboratories have also been divided into this research centre to collect data on different detectors.

Walked into one of the labs and saw a man with a beard and a white coat sitting in front of his lab computer drinking coffee.

Brother Yan walked up to say hello to him and introduced him to the Ark.

“This is Professor Greer, and you can see his name in many of the papers that CERN has published, and he's been working here since my first internship. ”

“Please don't describe me as so old, I've only been transferred here since '08," Professor Greer laughed amicably, reaching out to the Ark, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Lu. ”

“Hello, hello.” The ark laughed and shook his hand.

He thought that Mr. Greer, whom Brother Yan often mentioned, had to be of the same age as Master Lu, but did not expect him to look unexpectedly young, in his forties.

Relaxed, Professor Greer said, "Unfortunately, I can't show you around. The experiment is about to start. I have to keep an eye on these computers. If you come here half a month early, I can show you down there, but now several entrances are blocked, and I can't get in without papers. ”

The Ark laughed and replied: "What a pity, we are now in the privileged seat of history. ”

“Ha ha, you're going to have this idea because you're new to CERN,” Greer said with a smile, "and there are thousands of people sitting in the privileged seat here. With the exception of papers produced independently by each research team, almost every paper here is signed by thousands of people, or alphabetically. When you become a researcher here, you can feel it. ”

The article is signed by a thousand people, or alphabetically...

emmm...

To think about it, working here is kind of boring.

At this point, the ark suddenly noticed that the images on the computer screen were moving and asked, "Has the experiment started? ”

Professor Greer laughed and said, "Not yet, it's just a trial run, and we have to make sure the passage is clear and the most critical detector is working properly. So we'll run a few laps before we officially look for the five-quart particles. What you're seeing now is photons captured on ATLAS, yes, and some messy stuff. ”

Looking at the images on the computer screen, the ark frowned slightly.

With his numerical sensitivity, looking at the data on the image, he always felt that there was a sense of both vision and lack of clarity.

But for a moment and a half, he couldn't remember exactly where to look.

Unable to hold the curiosity in his heart, the ark asked.

“How do I feel about this picture? ”

“Because what we do is we do the data for Zone B1, and the data for this Zone is collected by our Professor Greer. If you collate this data, you'll find it more familiar.” Brother Yan laughed when he heard the question of the Ark.

“Oh, speaking of which, did I hear you guys let that old Brunos guy fall for you?” Professor Greer suddenly laughed badly.

“What do you mean, we all add brick and brick to the great cause,” Brother Yan imitated Master Lu's tone.

Greer laughed: “Ha ha, no wonder I went back to HQ last time to see if he looked wrong. This is the case. ”

It seems that Professor Brunos is not very close, not just a bit of a problem with Reverend Lou, but he doesn't seem to have much to deal with.

The two of them stood and bragged for a while, and the subject quickly returned to the experiment from that unlucky Professor Brunos.

When he learned that the Ark was very interested in the lab, Professor Greer was excited to photograph the computer in front of him, and painted a colorful introduction.

“CERN has not only the world's largest Hadron Collider, but also the world's most advanced computer system, LCG, through which we can help hundreds of thousands of computers scattered around the world process experimental data simultaneously and finally aggregate… this computer is one of them, mainly responsible for collecting data from ATLAS detectors…”

“… with this computer, you can even see the trajectory of the colliding protons splitting apart in a compact micro-connector solenoid… Of course, this is a model based on feedback data, which is certainly quite different from the real situation, but it's not much different. ”

In conclusion, Professor Greer made a serious addition.

“If you're interested in high-energy physics, you can come to me, and I happen to lack an assistant who's good at math. And for you personally, an experience working at CERN will also be you..."

Brother Yan inserted a sentence next to him: "Don't listen to him. You've been working here for over a decade, sending hundreds of papers, and you can't get a first author. With thousands of signed papers, no one in the country has recognized your scientific experience. ”

Revealed face to face, Professor Greer sighed and looked at Yan Xinxing with dissatisfaction.

If nothing else shrugged, Brother Yan grinned: “Don't blame me for revealing your boss, I can't watch you ignore my brother. ”

Professor Greer stubbornly corrected: “How can you call it ignorance? I'm a friendly proposition! ”

I can see that the relationship between the two seems very good.

I don't know if it's because Brother Yan has been pitted...

Behind them, the conversation turned into purposeless chatter and the ark did not listen carefully.

Because of his gaze, he has been attracted to the accumulating data on the screen.

Suddenly, when I saw the data of an energy zone on the map, the ark frowned slightly and I couldn't help but make a slight sound.

Noting the situation of the Ark, Brother Yan glanced at him and asked casually.

“What's the matter? ”

The ark points to the computer screen.

“Did you notice that the data in this area is a little... strange? ”
