Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

The first person to report this news was the British Guardian.

The journalist who wrote the article described the discovery in astonishing words.

“… CERN captures an anomalous signal in the experiment, which experts say could be a major clue to the discovery of supersymmetrical particles, and it is incredible that the discoverer of this clue is an intern from China! ”

Mysterious Power From The East, Seems To Influence Hadron Collider.

Immediately thereafter, the identity of the intern was dug up by the media.

This excavation doesn't matter, a lot of people were frightened.

For example, in the latest edition of Focus Weekly in Germany, the report on the intern's identity completely detonated people's eyes.

“… an intern found in the CERN Collider Experiment with a 750GeV characteristic peak as a master's degree student at Jinling University and a co-leasing member of LHCb China. And his accomplishments are not just in physics, he was honored by the best young reporter at the Princeton Academic Conference earlier this year, and the award-winning report is proof of twin count speculation! ”

“… journalists interviewed, respectively, Mr. Francis, President of the Federal Mathematical Institute, and Edward Witten, Fields Prize winner. Mr. Francis assessed it as a young, thought-provoking and innovative scholar. Edward Witten's assessment was even more surprising, as he thought he might be the first Chinese scholar to win the Fields Prize. ”

The 750GeV message didn't cause widespread sensation, it just circulated in small circles of high-energy physics. But because of this story in Focus Weekly, the heat of the news suddenly peaked.

"Hiding” the clues of the bosses and being discovered by an intern was enough in itself to make people fall into glasses. And the intern's identity is not “physical origin”, but mathematical, and it's even more shocking.

The news has not yet spread domestically, but has generated enthusiasm on social media abroad.

[Shet! I was on vacation, but just yesterday, my mentor called me back to school, and the psychopath told me there was a new subject, and now I'm starting to do it... it's insane.

[This is a good thing, my graduation thesis is landing:)]

What if CERN confirms that signal in a month?

[Impossible, with the efficiency of the Johnson Collider, CERN will not necessarily be able to figure out what that thing is at the year-end wrap-up meeting. And I, by the end of the year, can have another one:)]

[Terrible, the Fields Prize won't even satisfy him! This is all on the way to the Nobel Prize...]

[The Nobel Prize is far from over, but it's also strong. Theoretical physics is the hardest thing to achieve, and this finding, though not much of a major research result, solves the graduation of at least a hundred doctors in high-energy physics directions… this is less to say.

[Indeed, the number of new papers in the direction of high-energy physics on arxiv in the last few days has exploded, not just graduation papers, even many professors are in custody.

[Looking up at Big Brother Xu, can you cheat like this when I get my master's degree?

[Wake up, others are undergraduates at the beginning of this year, they were already so awesome.

[… on your knees.

……

After the Focus Weekly article on the intern's identity was released, the story was reproduced in major media outlets.

Although a number of media outlets did some digging into the background of the ship's identity, the first interview with the intern himself was with Nature Weekly.

Of course, he is no longer an intern, but an official researcher in the CERN partner countries.

August 2nd at noon.

In a café in Geneva, Professor Greer himself drove an ark here to introduce him to the woman journalist of Nature Weekly.

“This is Ms. Belinda, graduated from Oxford University,” Professor Greer looked at Ms. Belinda and continued, “and this is the ark I told you about. ”

Two people should know each other.

However, I don't know if it is the illusion of an ark, I always feel that the atmosphere of meeting the two people is a little subtle and embarrassing.

And the source of the embarrassment, it seems, comes from Professor Greer's side, and the smile on Ms. Belina's face is natural.

“Hello, Ms. Belinda.” The Ark proactively extended its right hand.

“Hello, nice to meet you too," Shake your hand and let go, Belinda smiled, "the interview may take a little time, can we start now? ”

“Sure.” The Ark laughed and said generously, "I hope my answer satisfies your curiosity. ”

After all, under the name of the old academic magazine, the same mother's "Nature Weekly", more or less with scientific rigour, at least won't learn the "Daily Post" next door, playing with the headline party news of "Chinese scientists discover supersymmetrical particles” and "Johnson colliders discover mysterious phenomena”.

And this Belinda, a high-calibre Oxford graduate, asks more professional questions.

For example, the first question.

“How did you discover the characteristic peak of the 750GeV energy zone? ”

“Because of an accident?” The Ark laughed and said in a chatty tone, "While my colleague thought the 750GeV case might be an accident, it was a coincidence that the accident occurred on both ATLAS and CMS detectors. So I asked Professor Greer to find the collision records of LHC when I was looking for Higgs particles for 12 or 13 years, and I found something interesting. ”

“750GeV feature peak? ”

“No, but more or less,” the ark shrugged, "and the information available to us was quite limited in the case of limited samples. So I tried to prove, from a probabilistic point of view, that when the number of samples accumulated to a certain extent, the statistical model in the prediction might have a characteristic peak at 750 GeV… When that probability was large enough, CERN had reason to start the experiment. As for this peak feature, it was found on the collider, not me. ”

Ms. Belinda smiled kindly and wrote this down in her notebook, continuing to ask.

“Did I notice that you used a lot of uncertain words because of a person's habits or because of the rigour of physics? ”

"The latter, of course, because even now, we cannot confirm what it is," the Ark nodded. ”

Belinda: “What do you think that particle might be? ”

“I hope it's a supersymmetrical particle, and if it is, the biggest problem we face will be solved. But... this is just my personal wish, and in many cases things don't go as smoothly as we expected," the Ark thought about it and went on, "If I had to guess, I'd rather believe it might be something we don't know about… dark matter, for example. ”

Belinda opened her mouth in surprise and asked: "Surprising guess… but why? ”

“Because the signal is too unstable,” the Ark laughed and continued, "although the experiment with the Hadron Collider itself is a cumulative of countless small probability collision events, the emergence of this signal presents a state… difficult to explain with existing theories. ”

“Pessimistically, it's probably just a kind of dual photon signal. ”

“But the optimism is that this may also mean ‘new physics’. ”
