This is like an ordinary proof paper. Writing it does not necessarily mean success. It needs to be published and accepted before the results can be confirmed.
...
Before leaving, Kibor promised to recommend Zhao Yi’s research results to other big names in physics. With the support of such big names in physics, the nucleon organization would agree to use all the data.
Besides, with the support of top physicists, the conference center would also agree to release the news and let Zhao Yi give the report alone.
Kibor’s influence is not enough. He is indeed a big name in quantum physics and a member of the Nucleon Board, but his role is mainly supervision and balance, with symbolic meaning greater than practical significance, rather than formally participating in the work.
Moreover, Kibor has not won a Nobel Prize.
In the nucleon organization, only those who have won the Nobel Prize in Physics can be considered as truly influential top figures.
...
Zhao Yi quickly completed the paper and printed it out for Kibor. When Kibor went out to walk the dog, he met an acquaintance and handed over the paper to him.
It was Sheldon Glashow.
Sheldon Glashow is also a man in his sixties, but he looks much younger than Kibor. He has in-depth research on electroweak theory, GIM mechanism, the grand unified theory, etc. By introducing short-range neutral currents and popularizing the electroweak theory proposed by Schwinger, he shared the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics with Steven Weinberg and Abdus-Salam.
The influence of the Nobel Prize winner in Physics 20 years ago is still very significant. Glashow is one of the top researchers in the nucleon organization, and his students play core roles in various teams.
However, such a top figure in physics is not an easy person to approach. Those who know Glashow know that his view on academics is very extreme and can be described as "distinct."
"Academic inclusiveness" does not exist in Glashow.
For example, the superstring theory.
Glashow is a skeptic of superstring theory because it cannot provide experimentally testable predictions. He once tried to prevent superstring theorists from entering the Harvard Physics Department, but Harvard University still accepted the superstring theory.
After Harvard University made the decision, Glashow resigned and accepted an interview in ten minutes. He said, "Superstring is a subject irrelevant to power, and you can call it a ’tumor’."
This incident can show Glashow’s attitude towards academics.
As long as Glashow believes that something is nonexistent or wrong, he will insist it is wrong unless it can be proven 100% correct. Otherwise, he will stick to his position.
Of course.
In fact, most successful scientists have a similar personality, and it is difficult for them to succeed otherwise, but Glashow is just more extreme.
Now Glashow’s extreme side is once again evident. freewebnoveℓ.com
Glashow has a high regard for Kibor. Although Kibor has not won a Nobel Prize in Physics, the Nobel Prize in Physics does not fully represent ability. Most Nobel Prize winners in Physics are only slightly luckier than those who have not won.
Kibor is just less lucky, but not less capable than Glashow.
However, Kibor’s recommendation does not affect Glashow’s view of the paper. When he saw the title of the paper was an analysis of discovering new particles, he immediately sneered. The main content of the paper, which he could not accept, was the use of computer algorithms based on the principle of particle collision.
Is this using computer algorithms to find new particles?
Glashow could not accept this method of finding new particles. He glanced through the paper while walking, looked at the author of the paper, and then casually threw the paper into the trash can on the side of the street.
"A mathematician who doesn’t study mathematics properly but tries to use computer methods to solve physics problems?"
"What a ridiculous idea!"
"I have already heard that Tom’s brain has problems, but I didn’t expect it to be true. He even believes in such a thing."
Glashow quickly forgot about the paper after throwing it away.
Meanwhile.
The domestic team also applied to the nucleon organization to conduct a verification analysis report. Normally, after submitting the application, a report meeting would be scheduled in three days.
After handing over the paper to Kibor, Zhao Yi did not wait idly because the result was uncertain, and even Kibor did not think highly of it.
He still did some other things.
For example, he improved the code of the program’s input end, which is a complicated issue. The input end is based on the standard sample of particle judgment data, including some photons, leptons’ velocity, graphics, etc.
These data are very complex.
Every standard sample data contains analysis, and some even include functional content. For example, it uses a specific function to describe the curve of particles decelerated by the magnetic field in the detector.
Because the sample data is very complex, and the input end of the program cannot include functions, the screening analysis also requires some judgment data, which requires manual input.
Zhao Yi wanted to simplify the content of manual input.
If it is all manual input, the workload is too large, and the speed is too slow. If the computer can input directly, it should be input by the computer. For each sample data, part of the content can be input automatically, while the remaining content needs to be listed separately in a file with automatic numbering.
In this way, only those functions and judgments need manual input.
It took Zhao Yi more than a day to complete the input end program. Next, it was waiting. But until the day before the domestic team’s report, he still didn’t receive Glashow’s reply.
"Shouldn’t there be a reply?"
Zhao Yi discussed with Chen Ming with a frown, "Even if my paper is rejected, there should be a reply, right?"
"Who knows?" Chen Ming shook his head. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Ruan Wenye suggested, "It seems there isn’t. Zhao Yi, if you really want to publish the results, you can choose to do it with the team. You just need to submit an additional application."
"Now that many people outside know about this, I think the report acceptance party won’t refuse it."
"Really?" Zhao Yi hadn’t been out for two days and didn’t know the situation outside.
Chen Ming nodded affirmatively, "Many people know about it. Yesterday when I was walking on the street, someone asked me, ’Did your team discover a new particle?’ I answered yes, but the result... "
The result was not very good.
Upon hearing this news, most people just laughed.
Just like Kibor, Ruan Wenye, and even Glashow, most people believe that experimental testing cannot possibly find the Higgs particle, and it is even more unlikely to find Sigrid’s example based on a single area’s data alone.
But this is also good news.
Once many people know about it, the report acceptance party won’t refuse Zhao Yi to present the results at the report conference, because whether it is true or not will only be known after completing the report.
Zhao Yi was also somewhat depressed when he heard Chen Ming’s description. He shook his head and decided to follow Ruan Wenye’s suggestion.
As long as the report is published, it doesn’t necessarily need all data for validation, nor does it need the approval of big names in physics.
That’s too difficult!
If it’s true, it’s true; if it’s false, it’s false.
As long as the report is published, even if no one believes it for the time being, there will definitely be a record. When the Higgs particle is later proven, he will definitely be the first to discover it.
As for those who don’t believe it now, their opinions don’t matter at all.
