From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

On the report podium of the working meeting, Wang Hao made a report on the particle characteristic analysis program.

He mainly explained the idea of ​​the program and each part of the data analysis.

This report is not an overall analysis of the program, and the purpose is not to let everyone know how the program is designed. It is just to explain the design ideas of the program and some problems in use, so it does not involve some difficult points of understanding.

Most of the people at the venue could understand. They understood the overall idea and had a general understanding of the program.

That's enough.

Wang Hao does not need to explain the details, because it is just a program, and he is not facing a group of programmers. The main purpose of his report is to let relevant personnel know how to use the program and what situations are effective.

After finishing all the explanations, Wang Hao made a brief summary, "So this program is effective for the analysis of particle characteristics, and the specific effect depends on the specific situation."

"We are analyzing the data of group F, and switching to other groups requires some fine-tuning of the program. As long as we understand the structure of the entire program and do similar data analysis, we can use computer analysis to complete it."

After Wang Hao finished his last sentence, he bowed slightly to the audience, and then walked off the stage.

The venue also burst into warm applause.

They not only applauded for Wang Hao's report, but also believed that Wang Hao's participation in the experimental work made a great contribution.

This program analysis method will be very helpful for the initial data analysis work in the future, reducing the very complicated workload in the data analysis process.

After Wang Hao walked off the stands, several people came to the stage to give reports, and then the meeting was declared over.

During the rest of the meeting, Wang Hao also checked the task status.

【Task 2】

【Research Project Name: Analysis of CP Violations of Positive and Negative Kosy Hyperons (Difficulty: S). 】

[Inspiration value: 14. 】

"It's a little..."

Wang Hao frowned slightly when he saw the data, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was normal.

The latest data analysis task difficulty level is S level, even if the content of the explanation is data analysis, it is not bad to get 14 points of inspiration.

In addition, it is very important that he does not know much about the data detected by the spectrometer. Without a basic understanding of the data, it is very difficult to improve inspiration.

After the meeting, Wang Hao, He Yi and others were about to leave.

The Institute of High Energy was very enthusiastic about Wang Hao. Academicians Zhang Yifang and Tian Guilin, as well as several professors, all offered to give him a gift.

It was the first time for Tian Guilin to shake hands with Wang Hao, and Zhang Yifang called him to see him off, but in fact, thinking about it, there was no conflict between him and Wang Hao.

The two didn't even talk formally, it was just because Wang Hao designed a program to help the Xijing Jiaotong University team and the Huzhou University team complete the data analysis work on the upper and lower half of Area F, which led to the data analysis report of the Seventh Working Group Not hired.

This problem should also be attributed to Wang Hao's excellent personal ability, not to say that he has any conflicts with the seventh working group or Tian Guilin himself.

Tian Guilin thought it was nothing.

Wang Hao simply didn't know the situation at all, because he had never spoken to Tian Guilin, and he didn't expect that the other party would be greatly affected because of him.

The two still shook hands with a smile and greeted each other.

Then, a group of people walked forward slowly.

Zhang Yifang, Tian Guilin and Wang Hao walked in the front, and they talked about the work of Puyi detection again.

Tian Guilin introduced a lot this time, and he also expressed his understanding of the Puyi detection project, "The number of hyperons is still too small. To measure the asymmetric signal of positive-negative Caussy hyperon decay, it is necessary to create A large number of hyperons have been produced, but the scale of our experiment is still too small."

"Now we all have a sense of pressure and a sense of urgency. If foreign institutions complete their research ahead of schedule, our work will be completely meaningless."

This is where a lot of people worry.

Scientific research is also competitive, especially for research in the same field. If other institutions have achieved results, then all efforts by people doing research in the same direction will be meaningless.

There are several international institutions doing research on the decay of Corsi hyperons, and American has two laboratories, both of which specialize in the targeted 'production' of Corsi hyperons.

If they are allowed to complete the research on Cauchy hyperons first, and discover the asymmetric signal of positive-anti-Caucy hyperons, that is, discover the 'CP destruction' of Cauchy hyperons, the spectrometer detection project will lose its meaning. Their ten years of hard work will be in vain.

When the topic came to this point, many people fell silent.

Wang Hao said with a smile, "Academician Tian, ​​don't be so pessimistic. Didn't foreign institutions say they could produce a thousand times more Kosi hyperons? But didn't they all fail to measure it? To a certain extent, it may mean that they want to increase the number of hypertrons It is infeasible to measure CP violation by the number of ions."

When he said that, the others were much more relaxed.

Zhang Yifang asked, "Professor Wang, according to your understanding, why can't we detect the asymmetric signal of positive-negative Caushy hyperon decay? Is there a possibility, I just mean possible..."

"The theory is wrong?"

As soon as Zhang Yifang's words came out of his mouth, the others fell silent again.

The research of theoretical physics is like this. Even if some theories are recognized by the whole world, they are not necessarily correct.

Now a large number of physical institutions are conducting research around the standard model of particles, but no one dares to say that the standard model of particles is correct.

Even for those phenomena that have been discovered, because they are all microscopic phenomena, only some signals can be detected, and theory is the analysis and interpretation of signals and data.

Are these analytical explanations necessarily correct?

Just like the well-known string theory in theoretical physics, many top mathematicians and physicists have conducted research around string theory, the most famous of which is Princeton University professor and Fields winner Edward Witten .

Edward Witten has been studying string theory all his life, and has expanded it into a superstring theory that explains multidimensional space, and a more complete X theory.

Even the Fields obtained by Edward Witten is based on the mathematical logic shaped in the process of perfecting string theory, which is a by-product of studying string theory.

If string theory is proven to be wrong one day, it means that Edward Witten has been doing wrong research all his life.

That would definitely be a sad story.

Wang Hao thought for a while and said firmly, "I don't dare to say that the specific physical theory is completely correct, but I think that there is indeed an asymmetry in the decay process of the positive-anti-Caucy hyperon."

His words are very firm, even surprising, because he is a pure mathematician, not a theoretical physicist.

Others felt very good after hearing it, as if they were affirming their own work.

Thinking about my own research on spectrometer detection, it turns out that no mathematician has the confidence to support the basic theory of spectrometer detection, and I immediately performed some self-reflection.

Of course they didn't know that Wang Hao had established a research and development task, as long as the task could be established, it meant that there was no problem with the foundation.

It is hard to say whether the general theoretical direction is correct, but the asymmetry problem of the positive-anti-Cauchy hyperon decay must exist, and it is up to the physicists to explain what the asymmetry specifically explains.

Several people continued to talk about the asymmetric problem of the decay of the Cosi hyperon.

Wang Hao still had some things he didn't understand, so he also asked, "It is not detected now, is it because in the baryon decay, the weak reaction signal will be covered by the strong reaction?"

"This is the main reason, but not necessarily. If the theory is correct, it is also related to the detection accuracy and analysis methods." Zhang Yifang explained.

At this time, Wang Hao suddenly froze.

When he asked the question just now, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He recalled it carefully and said, "The effect of a force annihilates the CP signal."

What's the meaning?

Wang Hao knew that "The Gift of Scientific Research" was working, but he still didn't know much about the content that appeared in his mind, so he simply asked, "Is there a possibility that there is a force that annihilates the CP signal?" ?”

In an instant, more information was integrated into the mind.

Wang Hao suddenly understood, and was shocked by the system prompt.

[Task 2, inspiration value +29. 】

+29?

Is it really a force? And it is directly related to the data analysis of hyperon decay asymmetry?

behind the crowd.

A doctoral student was walking forward with the crowd, and was surprised when he heard Wang Hao's question, and thought, "I was wondering just now, whether the universe repels positive particles, and even if there is a CP signal, it will be annihilated ..."

"Professor Wang actually thinks the same as me?"

"However...how is it possible! This is just random thinking. If there is a fifth force, it would have been detected long ago."

Wang Hao's statement made others think.

Zhang Yifang didn't care, he said with a smile, "As long as you use your imagination, there will be many possibilities."

"Professor Wang, you are a top mathematician. If you are interested in this field, you can try to engage in theoretical physics research."

Wang Hao twitched his mouth after hearing this.

Is this satirizing theoretical physicists, a group of lunatics who rely on imagination to build mathematical systems?

...

No one can answer the questions Wang Hao raised, and no one dares to say whether it is correct or not.

In the eyes of others, this is an imaginary problem of theoretical physics, and it is almost impossible to prove it, but Wang Hao knows that there must be some kind of force that annihilates the CP destruction signal of the positive-negative Caushy hyperon decay.

Because he gets information through the feedback of the system, rather than relying on his own imagination.

"What kind of power is this?"

"Annihilating CP signal, should it be called annihilating power?"

"The annihilation force of the universe, or the annihilation force of space..."

If the discovery can be proved, it will definitely be a super discovery of physics.

This problem is also directly related to the data analysis of the positive-negative Cauchy hyperon decay, in other words, if the data analysis of the positive-negative Cauchy hyperon decay can be completed, the problem of discovering the “space annihilation force” will definitely arise.

The latter is certainly not proven in a short period of time.

"So, when a problem is solved, a bigger problem will be discovered, and it is still an unprovable problem."

"Science, the universe, the deeper the research, the more insignificant I feel..."

He shook his head wryly.

That night, Wang Hao returned to Xihai City. After a night's rest, he went to Xihai University the next day.

The spectrometer detection experiment took more than a week, and the course was delayed for a week. Some retake courses of "Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics" were taught by Professor Zhou Qingyuan.

"Elementary Number Theory" simply stopped a section.

But it doesn't matter too much. It's easy to talk about elective courses.

"Algebraic Geometry" asked Zheng Yaojun to help substitute for the class. Wang Hao also transferred 1,000 yuan to Zheng Yaojun, because he remembered that the other party asked him to substitute for him last year, and also gave him 1,000 yuan for the course fee.

Now it's like getting the money back.

In the morning, Wang Hao found Zheng Yaojun, transferred 1,000 yuan to him, and asked about the course by the way.

Zheng Yaojun readily accepted the money, and said cheerfully, "Next time you ask me to substitute for a class, don't give me any money, or I won't help?"

"..."

Wang Hao remained silent and decided not to expose him.

Zheng Yaojun shook his head and continued, "Seriously, don't look for me next time, you should do it yourself."

"Is it difficult, or what?" Wang Hao asked.

"What is the difficulty? I have also talked about "Algebraic Geometry". The main reason is that students are demanding now!" Zheng Yaojun said with a sigh, "When I taught "Differential Equations", many students told me that it was not as good as you , the class for you is the same, it’s still those students, they all told me not to come next time.”

What he said also covered his heart with his hands, as if he had been hit hard.

However, Zheng Yaojun obviously has a very cheerful personality, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "By the way, I haven't thanked you yet."

"Thank me?"

"Don't you know? I recruited a graduate student. In fact, I didn't intend to enroll this year. I brought two Ph.D. students under my command, but the school said that this student was excellent. I read the information and found that he was indeed excellent."

Wang Hao listened.

"Her name is Hu Lidan, and she is really an excellent girl. She understands partial differential equations very well, and her level is no worse than that of a graduate student."

"Moreover, she rejected Professor Huang Pei, and two other doctoral and master's supervisors were persuaded by me and decided to follow me to study in graduate school..."

Zheng Yaojun said with a proud look.

Wang Hao asked curiously, "Why?" He stared carefully at Zheng Yaojun for a long time, and he was 100% sure that Hu Lidan must not have taken a fancy to this face.

"Of course it depends on ability!"

Zheng Yaojun said with certainty, "She was hesitant at first, so I told her that I have a big project on the horizon with a budget of 200,000 yuan, you can do research with me, and I will give you a top subsidy when the time comes. "

"This subsidy level is definitely not available in other mathematics master tutors."

"Uh-huh."

Wang Hao really believed this. Most professors who are engaged in mathematics research basically have no funds to speak of, so they can say 'living in poverty'.

Ph.D. supervisors like Zheng Yaojun who have 200,000 projects in hand can be described as 'rich and handsome in the Ph.D. supervisory world'.

What's more, Zheng Yaojun still has a small project of 50,000 yuan in his hand. The money is not much, but it is enough to support the students.

but……

This is called ability?

Zheng Yaojun obviously believed that 'money ability is also ability', he continued, "I also told her that I only brought two Ph. From a graduate student to a Ph.D., the doctoral dissertation must be excellent, and may be awarded an award."

"...Draw big cakes?" Wang Hao hesitated for a long time and spit out three words.

"What is painting big cakes? I'm telling the truth!" Zheng Yaojun said, "I only have this one graduate student, and I don't plan to recruit any more next year. At that time, I will focus on one research, three, four, five years , why is it so strange that a doctoral dissertation can be judged for an award?"

Wang Hao nodded in approval, "That's right."

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Zheng Yaojun's conditions are indeed very attractive, his ability level is definitely not bad, and it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to a professor.

He has only two PhDs under his command and only one graduate student, so there are few students and he has time to give advice.

In addition, he is still a tall, rich and handsome man in the "mathematics tutor world", with more than 200,000 yuan in funding, he may be able to apply for another excellent youth this year?

At that time, the funding will start at one million, and it is completely fine to give high subsidies to students.

However, what Zheng Yaojun is proud of is obviously not his own conditions, but other professors and doctoral supervisors. He failed to persuade Hu Lidan, but he persuaded Hu Lidan to follow him to study in graduate school.

This is the place to be proud of.

Others didn't do it, but he did it, isn't it amazing?

Wang Hao has been listening by the side, and he regrets coming to Zheng Yaojun.

This guy has something to do, he just likes to brag about it, studying with Zheng Yaojun, his ears will probably be very hard, right?

Hu Lidan, let me tell you in advance--

"Amen!"

...

Back in the office of the complex building, Wang Hao said hello to the others, told some interesting stories about the spectrometer detection experiment, and then turned on the computer and logged into the intranet of the large-scale research project of the electron-positron collider.

There are a lot of data on the intranet, as well as many papers uploaded internally, and there is even a small forum for researchers to communicate on issues.

Wang Hao clicked in and took a look, and found that they were all spamming posts, and some people even shared their lives, and some went abroad to attend conferences, complaining about the local environment and tourist attractions.

Of course, there are also some very professional posts.

He glanced at the data detected by the spectrometer.

These data can be viewed at will, and the degree of confidentiality is not high, and it is just not open to ordinary people.

In fact, it is the same as the European Particle Collider, because the data analysis is completed by the cooperation of many national institutions, and it is impossible to keep it secret, as long as you want to see it, you can see it.

The data detected by the spectrometer mainly includes two kinds of data, one is the basic data, that is, the data uploaded by the experimental detection, and the other is the measured data.

Even the calculated data looks very chaotic and disorderly, and professional researchers find problems in these chaotic and disorderly data.

The spectrometer detection experiment aims at the asymmetry research of the positive-negative Cauchy hyperon decay, the most important thing is to detect the cp destruction signal, and the "best performance" of the CP destruction signal is to be able to detect the particle or The existence of specific energy.

It's like the collision of two numbers, one is 7 and the other is -6.9, and the result of adding them is 0.1.

If this 0.1 can be found, it is naturally equal to the discovery of CP violation.

Otherwise, everything disappears, there is nothing, and nothing can be detected, and the number '-6.9' will naturally be considered as '-7'.

Wang Hao browsed the data carefully. What he needs to do is to have a basic understanding of the data. After he has an understanding, it will be much easier to study.

At the same time, he also thought about the 'space annihilation force'.

It's hard to say whether the description of "space annihilation force" is accurate, but there must be a kind of annihilation force, which annihilates the signal of CP destruction, and thus affects the data analysis problem.

So what form does this annihilation force exist in?

Can reality be seen?

Or is there some physical phenomenon brought about by the annihilation force that turns out to be mistaken for some other reaction?

Zhang Zhiqiang walked over and saw Wang Hao who was lost in thought, so he took his coffee and sat down at his seat.

Take a sip of coffee and look at the code on the computer.

I rub my hair every day, and a few strands are gone.

Wang Hao asked Zhang Zhiqiang, "Brother Zhang, if, I mean, if there is a cosmic annihilation force that can annihilate particles, what do you think the reaction will be in reality?"

Zhang Zhiqiang turned his head to listen, and then opened his mouth half-opened, a drop of coffee dripped from the corner of his mouth, he quickly wiped it off and said, "Let me think about your question..."

"Think about it..."

"I think..."

He thought for a long time, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, "I remember a Japanese anime, in which there is a god named God of Destruction. This god has a destructive power that can make everything it touches disappear completely."

"This kind of destructive power seems to be purple, you can refer to it and think about it..."

"..."

Wang Hao listened patiently and nodded, then stood up and said, "What you said makes sense."

"So, I'd better ask someone else."
