Chapter 171: Refining Theory
Data is available and how to handle it becomes a problem.
Starting with the theory of quantum chromodynamics, there is a lack of support for the theory.
However, from a statistical point of view, the number of samples is too small to draw any useful conclusions.
After five nights of analyzing this 10 G data, the ark finally came to a conclusion.
To confirm whether this unusual bump is a feature peak or not, you still have to run a few laps on the Hadron Collider. With the amount of data available today, those accumulated cases are not even as confident as 3sigma, not to mention a "sign” in physics, let alone a "discovery”.
Five nights after closing the doors and building the car, the Ark took the research and data from the past five days and found Master Lu.
It is impossible to convince CERN by himself, after all, that his identity is only an intern and his weight is still too light.
After explaining his point of view to Academician Lu, Ark thought that the old man would not agree with his point of view, or at least would have been sensual to the discovery, but did not expect a negative answer.
“The Hadron Collider can't start because of one of your sudden wonders, you're looking for 750 GeV particles, and the collision energy has to be at least 1.2TeV or even 2TeV. This cost is not a small number, not to mention the LHC's full calendar, CERN has unfinished experiments to do, and everyone wants to test their theory correctly, but with limited funding. ”
The Ark did not give up on this, trying to persuade: "But Professor, we have not discovered any new particles since the ‘post-standard model era', don't you think this could be an opportunity? ”
Yes, the four quark state or the five quark state particles found today are those that have been previously observed, but with less than 5sigma confidence, they are known in academia as “signs” and cannot be identified as “discoveries”.
If the signal appearing on the 750GeV is confirmed to be present with a new particle, it is physically unclear what the ark means, because he does not know exactly what particles will appear there.
But for him personally, he can be sure that this discovery, once established to be true, is at least a Nobel Prize.
“Speaking from the heart, I wasn't very good,” Heard the ark, Reverend Lu shook his head, "the 750GeV was too heavy, from a quantum chromodynamics point of view, which was out of the theoretical base. ”
“But we saw this signal on both ATLAS and CMS detectors," the Ark stressed. You think this is just a coincidence? ”
“Yes, you're right, he's not necessarily a coincidence,” Master Lu nodded, pointing to the data on the finger paper, "but did you ever think that it might just be a double photon signal generated by glue polymerization? ”
The Ark nodded: “You're right, it does exist, but that's why I need to experiment to prove my guess is correct! ”
The more excited he looked at his students, the more excited he laughed, paused for a moment, and sighed: “I understand the excitement in your heart, but something like this hasn't happened. And as far as I'm concerned, I'd love to help you test this, but unfortunately, we're not members of CERN, we're just cooperating countries, whether it's me or a senior at Mizuki University, who don't talk very much here. And BES in Shangjing, this experiment can't be done. ”
The ark fell into silence.
As the old man said, the Johnson Collider is someone else's, and it must be a priority to do your own research. Unless you can come up with conclusive evidence that doesn't directly convince the head of CERN, at least interest them in your theory.
However, this is another cycle of death.
Without experimentation in this energy zone, there would be no evidence at all. Unless someone else does more than 1TeV collision experiments, then look for these corners from someone else's data...
But when does this have to wait?
And even if we find these things by then, most of them have nothing to do with us.
After all, he can't stay in CERN, keep an eye on other people's experiments, he has to go back to finish his studies, and he has to go to Princeton to study Bo.
Back in his room, the ark went to bed and looked up at the paper in his hand.
Suddenly, he coughed softly and whispered.
“System, is there particle present in the 750GeV? ”
The system has not responded.
Is it because the physical level isn't enough?
Or is this a question of direction? In the light of his previous experience, any questions relating to direction are not within the scope of the system's questions.
MMP, it's getting more and more useless.
Taking a deep breath, the ark sat up from the bed.
It was too early to give up, not to mention that he was not an easy person to give up.
Actually, there's still a chance.
CERN was unlikely to start a Hadron Collider for one of his interns because of his insufficient weight.
In that case, just find someone with enough weight to convince the head of CERN for him!
In recent times, so many bulls in theoretical physics have gathered here, and there are still a lot of people with this weight.
If not surprisingly, these people will stay until the end of the month until CERN convenes the European Conference on Nuclear Research to report on the results of the five-quadruple particle study before gradually evacuating from here.
Now the only thing the Ark has to do is to improve its theory before the end of the month.
……
It seems simple to say, but it's not that easy to do.
If this physical problem is to be transformed into a mathematical problem, a key point is that he has to prove mathematically - when there are enough samples, the bumps in the 750GeV energy zone will definitely form a feature peak.
Sounds like a statistical problem, but in the absence of a sample, it's almost impossible to simply use statistical tools to solve the problem.
He needs more evidence.
The new conclusions are then analysed from the evidence.
“… this is experimental data collected on ATLAS, CMS detectors when LHC searched for Higgs particles for 12-13 years, but you should know that Higgs particles only have 125 GeV and we didn't do as much collision energy when looking for this thing. ”
In the office, Professor Greer threw the flash drive onto the ark.
After taking over the USB drive, the Ark sincerely said: “Nothing, thank you very much! ”
Thinking about it, it seems this is the only one he can count on.
Although they didn't know each other very long, Professor Greer and he coincided unexpectedly in character. Although he did not like the content of the Ark study, the professor did not discourage him, but rather helped him gather valuable data.
While these documents are not classified, they are not fully open to the public. It is really not easy to get this data as an intern if you don't know anyone within CERN.
Professor Greer laughed and said, "You're welcome. It's a small matter. Speaking of which, have you made progress with your research? ”
The ark nodded: “A little already. ”
Professor Greer cautioned, "If you want to use a Hadron collider, my advice is to find someone who has enough weight in theoretical physics to work with, not to build a closed door car. After all, no matter how far your theory goes, it will ultimately have to be supported by LHC data. ”
Ark: “That's exactly what I was going to do, but before I do that, I want to do my theory a little bit more reliably. ”
Professor Greer asks, "Do you have the right goals? ”
The ark shook its head: “Not yet...”
He was going to wait for the theory to be a little better prepared, and then he would take the paper and try it one at a time, using the method of spreading the web. For example, squat on a big man's lecture and wait till the end of the lecture to find the paper.
If that doesn't work, then he can't help it.
Professor Greer thought about it and asked, “Do you want me to recommend you one? ”
The boat stunned for a moment and immediately said: "Of course I need it! Do you have any good advice? ”
When Professor Greer laughed when he saw the ship rushing, he said, "Frank Wierzek, Nobel Prize Laureate in Physics in '04, is probably the best person I know to talk to. If you can convince him, there might be some hope. ”
