Zhao Yi was not seeking to create a filtering program to find the Higgs particle.
That’s unrealistic.
Effective and Irrelevant Carry Filtering indeed is a useful algorithm, but when applied in Quantum Physics to discover new particles, its function becomes significantly minor.
He just wanted to apply it in judging new particle data.
In the face of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of data, a few pieces of data seem negligible. However, if the data volume of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands could be reduced to a few thousands or hundreds, then those few pieces of data would naturally stand out.
Theoretically.
An important product of the decay of the Higgs particle is a pair of high-energy photons. Many particle decays will produce a pair of high-energy photons, but due to the differing energies of these photon pairs, some known particle decay photon pairs are very obvious in the data.
These high-energy photon pairs can be ruled out by the program.
Isolated, unpaired photons can also be excluded, whether or not they are related to the Higgs particle. However, as there are too many isolated photons, they would significantly affect the data. Thus, they should also be entirely excluded.
Finally, a detailed data analysis of the high-energy photon pairs that have a certain chance of being products of the decay of the Higgs particle should theoretically yield results. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Besides, another way to prove the existence of Higgs particles is by detecting Leptons.
Higgs particles can also decay into Z bosons and W bosons. The latter would further decay into neutrinos, which cannot be detected. However, Z bosons can only decay into leptons. By applying the same filtering judgement and proof to Lepton data and comparing it with high-energy photon pair data, these can also serve as strong evidence for the existence of Higgs particles.
Of course.
The Lepton data should only serve as a reference.
Most data analysts would not particularly judge Leptons, due to many uncertainties and external influences in their presence that may be detrimental to data accuracy.
The filtering method is a big issue.
Zhao Yi wanted to create a program to determine whether high-energy photons could potentially be products of the decay of Higgs particles, but his understanding of the Higgs particle, along with other intricacies of Quantum Physics, was only superficial. The design of the judgement mechanism would certainly require professional Quantum Physicists.
He thought carefully and sought out Ruan Wenye.
"I want to design a program to filter high-energy photon pairs, which could possibly be the products of Higgs particle decay," Zhao Yi was forthright, "If successful, perhaps it could serve as evidence proving the presence of Higgs particles."
"....."
Ruan Wenye was flabbergasted upon hearing this, their team was still working on data analysis. How did they suddenly leap to the quest for the God particle?
That’s the God particle!
The Nuclear Research Organization’s goal is to discover new particles, and prove or build the Standard Model of particle physics. The search for the God particle is one of the main objectives of the organization.
Does Zhao Yi, by himself, actually intend to look for the God particle?
Design a program?
"He must be unclear about the difficulties in searching for the Higgs particle, right?"
"This idea is simply too naive!"
"If finding a Higgs particle could be achieved simply by designing a program, why would there be a need for so many physicists gathered here?"
The look Ruan Wenye gave Zhao Yi was very strange, seemingly displaying a sense of sympathetic concern for his ignorance.
Eventually, he thought that he should not discourage Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi had developed an interest in quantum physics, so letting him try would be harmless. However, Ruan Wenye didn’t want to get involved in this doomed effort, fearing he would be made a laughingstock. It was already a joke that Zhao Yi, a greenhorn in quantum physics, was attempting such a feat — if Ruan Wenye were to join him...
That’d be incomprehensible!
Ruan Wenye took a deep breath and said smilingly, "Zhao Yi, a task as significant as the search for the Higgs particle should be guided by someone more skilled."
"Even though I have a reputation in China, globally, it doesn’t mean much."
"If you want your research to be recognized, you should find a more influential individual."
Ruan Wenye’s words suddenly made sense to Zhao Yi.
Right!
Before meeting Ruan Wenye, he had never heard his name, so he was likely a nobody in the global community. Given his limited skills, the task of filtering high-energy photon pairs — which is crucial in verifying whether the Higgs particle had been discovered — was not a suitable task for Ruan Wenye.
What if...
Slight errors occurred?
Such a significant matter definitely required someone of a substantial standing in the quantum physics field.
Zhao Yi asked earnestly, "Do you know any influential individual?"
Ruan Wenye quickly shook his head, "I do have acquaintances, but they are all busy with their own tasks. However, there are many top-notch professionals here. You can try to find them yourself, and maybe someone would be willing to collaborate with you."
Having said that, he walked away, seemingly overloaded with work.
Ruan Wenye, having left, felt a sense of relief and he thought he was very clever for refusing to participate in such a child-like endeavor, and possibly ending up losing face as a result.
That would be deceiving people!
Since Zhao Yi was determined to find the Higgs particle, let him strive for it on his own.

Zhao Yi had no idea how little confidence Ruan Wenye had in his research. He even thought Ruan Wenye was very sincere, acknowledging his limitations and recommending someone more competent instead.
