Throne of Magical Arcana

Inside the Atomic Research Institute.

Heidi, Annick and others are waiting for a new issue of "Arcane" and "Magic". The series of papers on quantum field theory at the beginning of the month gave them these profound arcane studies in the micro field. The teacher inspired and felt the direction of the breakthrough in the micro field, so under their own hard work and the guidance of Lucien, they quickly grasped the current knowledge of quantum field theory, and each completed a related paper, and the Arcanist , The high-level magicians started a discussion.

In this, Annick and Sprint themselves are among the founders of quantum field theory-it is their joint paper to apply the technique of second quantization to electronic systems, so it is not too difficult to understand and grasp He soon followed the pace of the great arcanists such as Lucien, Brooke and Fernando, and began to feel dizzy with "infinity", wishing to hold them together.

"In the case of low-order approximation, quantum field theory is very good, but unfortunately, when the high-order approximation ..." Katrina sighed, did not say "infinity", otherwise Annick had nothing, Spr Lint will be crazy.

Heidi rarely harassed his troubles, and said with a smile: "No matter what, this is a field that can understand the essence of electromagnetic force and the secret of electronics!"

She paused for a moment: "Uh, no, at least the quantum superposition state, the observer effect, etc. are temporarily unable to see the hope of interpretation from quantum field theory."

"Moreover, the different processes by which charged particles exchange photons to generate electromagnetic force give us a little inspiration. It seems that we have grasped the possible 'occasions' of positrons and have to design some collision experiments." Cherie added to Heidi.

Many times, the discovery of particles is not as simple as finding the right ray and observing the trajectory. It is necessary to make the "ray" collide with different particles, collide at different positions, collide with different energies, and produce different reactions (split or other ), And then find the abnormal trajectory from the results of these complex disturbances.

Without theoretical guidance, groping through experiments alone will be like a headless fly, which can only be accumulated by a long time, so legendary magicians and archmages have temporarily failed to find anything too valuable from cosmic rays. .

Heidi smiled with pride: "So, this will be the main content of our experiment at the" Universal Observatory ". With teachers' attention to positrons, you can't compete with us!"

Sprint snorted: "Anyway, my attention is on quantum field theory. There is still a lot of knowledge to be learned and mastered. There is no idea of ​​going to the 'Universal Observatory' in a short time."

"Actually, I think that the paper by Lord Hathaway is also very enlightening and 'aesthetic'. When protons and neutrons are considered to be the same basic particle, I really feel the simple beauty of the essence of matter." Lei The daily research of Yiliya is to determine the properties of different materials at different temperatures, and synthesize new materials through these properties, and then repeat the experiment to find out why they appear to be superconducting. It is boring and complicated, so for all complex things The essence of all will be attributed to a simple point of view is much appreciated.

Annick said calmly: "It can't be so simple to think that the research on atomic decay in recent years seems to indicate that protons and neutrons are not as simple as we think, or that the situation in the nucleus is not as simple as we think. When it decays, it can actually release electrons and the neutrinos guessed by the Lord of Storms, and even Lord Oliver guesses that neutrons can be converted into protons. It is difficult to say what secrets are contained in them, and whether they are revealed. "

What he meant, Leiria probably understood and gently nodded, "I know, but according to some arcanists' views, 'neutrino' is almost impossible to find."

Neutrinos are not charged, and their mass is very, very light, and they hardly interact with matter, so they are called "invisible particles" by arcanists, which means it is extremely difficult to observe.

"As long as it exists, it can be observed through design experiments!" Sprint was very confident about this, and then he shook his head: "But the most important thing is that without a stable reactor, many experiments are difficult to carry out."

"Yeah, without a large fission reactor, there is no stable source of particles, and it is impossible to complete some of the experiments in the micro field." Katrina sighed, "The urgent need for fission reactors is not just in the energy field. More lies in the deeper research in the microscopic field, which is the desire of most arcanists. "

Heidi laughed out loud: "Most arcanists said they were unaware and did not desire at all. They could not keep up with the progress in the microscopic field."

As soon as the words fell, she stood up and saluted with a smile: "Good morning, teacher."

She found Lucien walking to the door for the first time.

Lucien took out a stack of journals from the storage bag and smiled: "I just met the apprentice who sent you the journal, and I took it by the way."

Heidi and others did not feel sincere and fearful about such a move by the teacher. After all, they knew the teacher's character very well, knowing that he did such a move really just by the way, and had no other meaning.

"Thank you teacher." Katrina, Heidi and others took over the journal with a broad smile.

Lucien shook the remaining book in her hand: "The most interesting thing in this issue is Granny Hathaway's new paper."

"The most interesting?" Sprint and others were stunned for a while, and it was so easy to be evaluated as interesting by the teacher?This shows that he appreciates the ideas and direction of the thesis, as well as the enlightening value contained in the thesis!

Heidi quickly turned to the table of contents and found the title of Hathaway's new paper: "A little guess at the strong interaction"?

After finishing reading, Annick and others looked at each other and vaguely guessed what. After all, the essence of electromagnetic force just had a direction. As a result, a paper with strong interaction force appeared immediately. It's hard to believe.

Sure enough, Hathaway introduced the "model" and ideas established by quantum field theory into nuclear force (strong interaction force). Since the essence of electromagnetic force is the complex process of charged particles exchanging photons, can the strong interaction force also be considered Is it an interaction caused by the exchange of certain particles between nucleons (protons, neutrons)?

Hathaway ’s ideas are not difficult to understand, but they need to be free from the constraints and have the courage to make associations. Therefore, Annick, Katrina, Heidi and others accepted the premise of this guess without any difficulty. Go down.

Although the study of the strong interaction force is still shallow, it is enough to support Hathaway to establish a rough model, and then calculates from the experimentally measured data that this particle is a new particle that has not been discovered so far, and the rest mass is about Two to three hundred times the electron.

"If such particles can be found, the essence of the strong interaction force is also displayed in front of us ..." Annick whispered in a little shock.

"Is this a prediction of a new particle?" Katrina felt strangely.

Leiria frowned slightly: "If it is found, then whether the weak interaction force can also be constructed with this model, and there are also new particles? How many kinds of particles are there?"

As if in a flash, the types of elementary particles doubled. Although this is just a guess, Leiriya and others have to pay attention. In the microscopic field, the types of elementary particles do not have simple characteristics?Is it a complex and huge system?

Sprinter said with excitement: "If it is really found, it means that the essence of the strong interaction force will have no secrets in front of us, only the exploration of details!"

"If the three basic forces other than gravity can be attributed to the exchange of particles, and the corresponding model is constructed, it means that in our eyes, there is no secret in the entire world!"

He has always been confident and full of passion, and this is no exception. As for how many elementary particles there are, it is something that I don't care about at all, and it is just speculation anyway.

"Unfortunately, the study of weak interaction forces cannot even support the construction of such a model, otherwise I have to predict new particles." Heidi said rather "sadly", then she became happy, "said Maybe these new particles are hidden in cosmic rays! "

Sprint froze abruptly, and then said "Viciously": "I also want to apply for the use of the 'Universal Observatory'!"

Seeing that the students were enthusiastic about research, Lucien nodded in satisfaction and walked to his office, when his monocle suddenly became hot.

"Lucien, are you free?" Douglas sounded kindly and calmly.

Lucien smiled: "Anytime, Mr. Speaker, what's the matter?"

"My space jump teleportation array has been set up, are you going to pursue the sun with me?" Douglas chuckled.

Lucien was silent for a while, and then said, "This is exactly what I expected."
