Chapter 177 The Strongest Intern in History!

The news was first reported by the British newspaper The Guardian.

The reporter who wrote the article stated the discovery in amazed words.

"... CERN has captured an abnormal signal in the experiment. Experts say that this may become a major clue to the discovery of supersymmetric particles. It is unbelievable that the discoverer of this clue is an intern from Huaguo pregnancy!"

A mysterious force from the east seems to influence the Hadron Collider.

Immediately afterwards, the media dug out the identity of the intern.

It doesn't matter this digging, many people were taken aback.

For example, in the latest edition of Germany's "Focus Weekly", the report on the identity of this intern has completely ignited people's attention.

"...the intern who discovered the 750GeV characteristic peak in the CERN collider experiment is a master student of Jinling University and a member of the LHCb Huaguo co-tenant. And his achievements are not only in the field of physics, just at the beginning of this year at the Princeton Academic Conference In , he won the honor of the best young speaker, and the content of the award-winning report is the proof of the twin prime number conjecture!"

"...The reporter of this newspaper interviewed Mr. Francis, the president of the Federal Mathematical Society, and Edward Witten, the winner of the Fields Medal. Mr. Francis' evaluation of him is that this is a young scholar with outstanding thinking and innovative power And Edward Witten's evaluation is even more surprising, he thinks he may become the first Chinese scholar to win the Fields Medal."

Originally, the news of 750GeV did not cause a wide-ranging sensation, but only circulated in the small circle of high-energy physics. But because of this report by "Focus Weekly", the popularity of the news was suddenly pushed to a peak.

"Hidden" the clues of the bosses, and was discovered by an intern, which in itself is enough to surprise people. And the identity of this intern is not "physics background", but engaged in mathematics, which is even more shocking.

The news has not yet spread to the country, but it has sparked heated discussions on social media abroad.

A campus forum of an Ivy League school abroad.

[Shet! Originally, I was on vacation, but just yesterday, my tutor called me back to school, telling me that I have a new subject like a neurotic, and now I start to do it... It's crazy. 】

[This is a good thing, my graduation thesis has been settled:)]

[That's not good, what if CERN confirms the signal next month? 】

[Impossible, with the working efficiency of the Hadron Collider, CERN may not be able to figure out what that thing is at the end of the year summary meeting. And I, before the end of the year, can write another article:)]

A North American student forum.

[Terrible, even the Fields Award can't satisfy him! This is all heading towards the Nobel Prize...]

[The Nobel Prize is still far behind, but it is still very strong. Theoretical physics is the most difficult to produce results. Although this discovery is not considered a major research achievement, it has solved at least a hundred high-energy physics doctoral graduation problems... This is still to say the least. 】

[It’s true that there are fewer. These days, the number of new papers in the direction of high-energy physics on arxiv has exploded. Not only graduation thesis, but even many professors are betting on it. 】

[Looking up to the master of learning, when I get a master's degree, can I cheat like this? 】

[Wake up, others were undergraduates at the beginning of this year, and they were already so awesome at that time. 】

[...Kneel down. 】

...

After the "Focus Weekly" report on the intern's identity came out, all the major media reprinted the report.

Although many media have dug into Lu Zhou's identity and background to a certain extent, but the first to interview the intern himself was "Nature Weekly".

Of course, now he is no longer an intern, but a formal researcher of CERN's partner country.

At noon on August 2nd.

In a coffee shop in Geneva, Professor Greer, who personally drove Lu Zhou here, introduced the female reporter of "Nature Weekly" to him.

"This is Ms. Belinda, graduated from Oxford University," Professor Greer looked at Ms. Belinda, and continued to introduce, "And this is the Lu Zhou I told you about."

The two should know each other.

But I don't know if it's Lu Zhou's illusion. I always feel that the atmosphere of the two meeting is a little bit awkward.

The source of the embarrassment seemed to be from Professor Greer's side, but on Ms. Bellina's side, the smile on her face was quite natural.

"Hello, Ms. Belinda." Lu Zhou offered to extend his right hand.

"Hi, nice to meet you too." She shook hands and let go, Belinda smiled, "The interview may take up a little time, can we start now?"

"Of course." Lu Zhou smiled and said generously, "I hope my answer can satisfy your curiosity."

After all, it bears the name of an old academic journal, and "Nature Weekly", which was born by the same mother, is more or less scientifically rigorous, at least not like the "Daily Mail" next door, playing those "Hua Scientists Discovered Supersymmetric Particles" and "Mysterious Phenomenon Discovered by Hadron Collider" are headlines that are party news.

And this Ms. Belinda is worthy of being a top student who graduated from Oxford University, and the questions she asked were more professional.

For example, the first question.

"How did you discover the characteristic peaks in the 750GeV energy region?"

"Because of an accident?" Lu Zhou smiled and said in a chatty tone, "Although my colleagues think that the 750GeV event may be an accident, it is a bit too much for this accident to appear on the ATLAS and CMS detectors at the same time. Coincidentally. So I asked Professor Greer to find the LHC collision records when I was looking for the Higgs particle in 12 and 13 years, and I found some interesting things.”

"The characteristic peak of 750GeV?"

"No, but it's about the same," Lu Zhou shrugged, "In the case of limited samples, the information we can get is quite limited. So, I try to prove from the perspective of probability that when the number of samples accumulates to a certain To a certain extent, the statistical model in the forecast may have a characteristic peak at 750GeV... When this possibility is large enough, CERN will have a reason to start this experiment. As for this characteristic peak, it was found by the collider, not I."

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

"I noticed that you use a lot of uncertain words, is it because of a person's habit, or because of the rigor of physics?"

Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Of course it's the latter, because even now, we can't confirm what it is."

Belinda: "What do you think that particle might be?"

"I hope it is a supersymmetric particle. If it is, the biggest trouble we face can be solved. But... this is just my personal wish. Many times things will not develop as smoothly as we expected," Lu said. Zhou thought for a while, then continued, "If I had to speculate, I'd rather believe that it might be something we don't understand...for example, dark matter."

Belinda opened her mouth in surprise, and asked, "Surprising speculation...but why?"

"Because the signal is too unstable," Lu Zhou smiled and continued, "Although the Hadron Collider experiment itself is the accumulation of countless small-probability collision events, the appearance of this signal presents a kind of... ...a situation that is difficult to explain with existing theories."

"Pessimistically, this may just be a type of two-photon signal."

"But on a more optimistic note, it could also mean 'new physics.'"
