Chapter 308 Particles that Break the Standard Model!
"Xu, this time, can you come to CERN to participate in the press conference?"
On the phone, David Gross solemnly invited: "CERN will make this great discovery public, and you are the discoverer of the inert neutrino and the builder of the relevant theory. If you miss this press conference, it will be the biggest regret."
Xu Chuan smiled and shook his head, and declined: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gross, due to some personal reasons, I'm afraid I can't go to CERN to attend this press conference. It's a pity to miss such an opportunity."
CERN is in Geneva, Switzerland. At present, Switzerland has a good reputation. As a permanent neutral country, it seems very safe.
But Xu Chuan knows what tricks Switzerland can play in the future.
Permanent neutrality is just a joke, which can be cancelled and recovered at any time.
In his current situation, in fact, if he wants to go abroad, it is not impossible as long as he does not go to the United States or some few countries in the Maple Leaf Country, but that is a very troublesome thing. He has to communicate with the above and make plans in advance.
And a press conference, forget it, it is not worth it for him to trouble the country to escort him.
Moreover, even if he didn't go, who could deny that he was the discoverer of the sterile neutrino?
No one could deny it.
The so-called regret, if you look at it from the outside, is just dispensable to him.
This time, Xu Chuan did not persuade Gross to hold the press conference in China, because it was not realistic.
The last time the sterile neutrino with a confidence level of 3 sigma was released in China, it was already very respectful. This time it was completely confirmed that it was discovered using CERN's Large Hadron Collider LHC after all, and CERN would not miss this opportunity.
This is not only Xu Chuan's glory, but also their glory.
On the other hand, this time the sterile neutrino was discovered, CERN has the capital to ask for more scientific research funds from various countries, and plan to upgrade the Large Hadron Collider LHC.
This is a good thing for physicists all over the world.
A more powerful collider will help discover more unknown phenomena and particles, and help scientists understand more about the universe and the truth.
If it can help the entire physics community move forward, Xu Chuan actually doesn't mind where to hold this press conference that is dispensable to him.
"That's a pity. If you can't come to the report, no matter how grand the report is, it won't be perfect." David Gross shook his head and said.
After a pause, he continued: "If you can't come to the report, please at least arrange a representative to come. He can answer some questions on your behalf."
Xu Chuan thought about it and said: "That's no problem. I can arrange someone to go there."
Gross: "That's great. In addition, do you have any good ideas and suggestions about the structure of inert neutrinos or the pictures that are open to the public? CERN can work with you to draw this picture worthy of historical commemoration."
Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment and said: "I really have some ideas in this regard. I will sort it out and send it to you by email later."
Gross smiled and said: "Then I'll wait for your news."
In mid-October, media reporters from all over the world were invited to the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva, Switzerland.
Chen Zhengping, who got off the taxi and came to attend the press conference on behalf of his students, glanced at the Shiva statue standing in front of the CERN center building.
The inert neutrino was confirmed to exist, with a confidence level of 5.2 sigma.
This news swept the world like a Martian storm.
Although he had been mentally prepared when he did data analysis for Xu Chuan, he still couldn't help but feel excited when the news came.
A particle beyond the standard model, an ion that may connect the mysterious dark matter and dark energy, a particle that opens up the future of physics.
Without too much trouble or too much research, it was found by his student and confirmed to exist.
The whole process was so smooth that it was unbelievable.
"My old friend, welcome to your arrival. It's great to see you again."
In front of the center building, an old man with a full white beard opened his arms enthusiastically and hugged Chen Zhengping.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Chen Zhengping smiled and hugged his friend in front of him. The person in front of him was Professor Francois Englert, the winner of the 13th Nobel Prize in Physics.
In that year, the greatest discovery in physics was undoubtedly the confirmation of the Higgs boson, but François Engler and Peter Higgs were the ones who proposed the prediction of the Higgs boson.
Engler smiled like Santa Claus and said, "Where is your student Professor Xu Chuan? Didn't he come with you?"
Chen Zhengping shook his head and said, "He has something urgent to do, so I'm afraid he can't attend this press conference."
Engler was stunned for a moment and said regretfully, "That's a pity. The discovery and confirmation of the inert neutrino are all his achievements, but he didn't come to the press conference. It's a pity. I originally had a lot of questions to ask him."
Chen Zhengping smiled and said, "Yes, but for him, a press conference is nothing. As for asking questions, maybe you can go to China?"
Engeler stroked his beard, thought for a while and sighed: "Maybe it's just like you said, it's nothing to him. The discovery of inert neutrinos is just one of his treasures in his huge treasure house."
"Mathematics, physics, materials, astronomy. Each of his achievements can be called great, enough for an ordinary scholar to study for a lifetime."
After a pause, he smiled and said: "Maybe I should consider your suggestion to go to China to talk to him. The emergence of inert neutrinos has allowed the entire physics community to see that the future of the world is no longer limited to the standard model."
Hearing this, Chen Zhengping also sighed.
This student of his is indeed a bit too evil.
Not to mention that he can make different achievements in different fields every year, the key is these achievements, the seven millennium problems in mathematics, the Nobel Prize in physics, the artificial SEI film in the field of materials, the calculation method in the astronomy community, and the reuse of nuclear waste in the field of nuclear energy.
Each of these achievements can be said to be epic.
Geneva, under the central building of CERN.
Media from all over the world gathered here, and all kinds of cameras and media reporters crowded the empty square under the building.
All media reporters were moving forward, all media reporters wanted to be the first to go in, and all wanted to occupy the most advantageous position, no matter how the staff who maintained discipline shouted or how to maintain discipline.
In the main hall of the press conference, Chen Zhengping was wearing a suit and looking at the crowded crowd outside.
There were not only media reporters from all over the world, but also many ordinary people who dared to believe in inert neutrinos or dark matter and dark energy, and they were also rushing in.
To be honest, such scenes are rare in the physics world.
After all, cutting-edge physics is too far away from the lives of ordinary people, and most ordinary people are at most familiar with the results of cutting-edge physics.
Looking at the crazy crowd, Chen Zhengping was even a little worried that the door of the center building would be squeezed by them.
Fortunately, the press conference started soon.
At Nanjing University, Xu Chuan squatted in the office and watched the live broadcast footage shot by CTV media on the computer. On the other side of the office, his two students were also watching the press conference with a mobile phone each.
Such a heavyweight achievement, which breaks the standard model and involves new particles of dark matter, will not be missed by any country.
At ten o'clock, the press conference on inert neutrinos began on time.
David Gross, president of the CERN Council, dressed in a suit, walked onto the podium.
"First of all, I would like to welcome all the media friends who have come from afar and the audience who are interested in the press conference. I am David Gross, president of the CERN Council."
"Today's press conference will be hosted by me."
Before David Gross finished speaking, another voice sounded from the audience.
"President Gross, is Professor Xu Chuan here? Will he come on stage today to explain his theoretical findings?" A media reporter shouted from the audience.
This is not the first time that David Gross has hosted a press conference at CERN, and he is also very easy to deal with such a situation.
"I'm sorry, for some personal reasons, Professor Xu can't attend this press conference."
"But he has fully authorized CERN. We will give a detailed introduction to the relevant data of sterile neutrinos. As for some questions after the relevant report is completed, they will be answered by Academician Chen Zhengping, the representative arranged by Professor Xu."
CERN explained the discovery results of sterile neutrinos and some related physical properties, and Chen Zhengping answered some questions from media reporters on behalf of Xu Chuan. This was the decision made after Xu Chuan and CERN communicated.
It took about half an hour for David Gross to make a detailed report on the discovery results of sterile neutrinos, and also showed the relevant Daritz diagram and a "sterile neutrino" diagram made by CERN combined with Xu Chuan's opinions to the media reporters.
This sterile neutrino diagram is very interesting. It is different from other particle structure diagrams shown by CERN in the past.
It is only half, and the other side is hidden in the dark universe background.
This means that humans can only observe part of the information of sterile neutrinos at present, and the rest is still an unsolved mystery for the physics community.
No one knows whether its unobservable part is connected to dark matter, dark energy, or other cosmic matter.
