Although due to confidentiality requirements, CERN has not made the details of this achievement public.
But as the project supervisor of the BEBC bubble chamber, Lars is still very clear about the content of today’s report.
because
This report on right-handed neutrinos comes from BEBC.
The full name of BEBC is Big European Bubble Chamber, which is the Big European Bubble Chamber.
The word bubble room may sound like blowing bubbles, but in fact
This thing is really used for blowing bubbles.
The concept of bubble chambers first appeared in 1952, proposed by the famous Donald Glaser.
That is, the famous gay man who openly came out as gay at the age of 75.
He filled a pressure vessel with superheated liquid. When charged particles entered it, they would form a series of bubbles along their paths, popping out.
Due to the effect of an external magnetic field, the particle's trajectory will also appear in a spiral shape.
By studying photos of these bubbles afterwards, the energy, mass and type of the incident particles can be estimated.
This is where the bubble chamber comes from.
Of course.
Today's bubble chamber and the equipment originally designed by Donald Glaser are completely different concepts.
The earliest bubble chamber designed by Donald Glaser was only 2 mm. The liquid was first filled with beer. It turned out that his brother would drink the beer and then change it to ether.
Today's bubble chamber specifications start from a few meters, and the typical representative is Lars' BEBC.
BEBC's bubble chamber has a diameter of 3.7 meters and a height of 4 meters. It is also equipped with the world's largest superconducting magnet.
From the beginning of its construction, it has had only one mission:
Unraveling the mysteries of neutrinos and hadrons.
CERN announced that after BEBC completes its mission, it will immediately use a grand explosion to mark the curtain call for BEBC.
Therefore, the purpose of most BEBC employees entering BEBC is to personally send away this bubble room.
alright.
His gaze returned to its original position.
all in all.
Although Lars is not the keynote speaker at today's report meeting, this result was born under his nose, so he has an extremely clear understanding of the gold content of this report.
So he thought for a while and said to Lucas:
"Lucas, you will know our results soon anyway, so I won't hide it from you."
"Although I hate those neon people who usually pretend to be polite but are actually extremely mean, I have to admit that the nature of the particles they discovered this time is indeed somewhat beyond our expectations."
"For example, our estimated G factor was only about 1.5 at most, but we didn't expect that they actually exceeded 2."
After hearing this, Lucas glanced at his friend and joked:
"So Lars, are you ready to surrender now? I remember that there is a small hillside between here and Gaul."
"How can it be?"
Lars was stunned when he heard this. After he came to his senses, his voice suddenly rose a lot as if he was stimulated.
However, when he saw the looks from the people around him, his tone calmed down a lot:
"At most, it's just a little troublesome. Before, we estimated it to be 82 or even 73, but now it's about 64 or 55 to 45."
"That is to say, there is an advantage, but it is not obvious, at least it cannot directly overwhelm the results of the Kamokande detector, so"
"If nothing else happens, this year's Nobel Prize should be between us and the Neon People."
Lucas thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
Students who have served as Nobel Prize judges should all know this.
Although to the public, most of the Nobel Prize process only has two steps: announcement and award.
That is, in mid-October every year, the list of Nobel Prize winners is announced.
Then on December 10th every year, which is the anniversary of Nobel's death, Nobel Prize awarding ceremonies were held in Stockholm and Oslo respectively. The King and Queen of Sweden attended and awarded the prize.
But in fact.
Before the Nobel Prize was announced, there were five very complicated selection procedures within the jury.
First, from September last year to January 31 this year, the Nobel Prize jury accepted candidates recommended for various Nobel Prizes.
After the primary election, a letter will be sent to the candidates to confirm their candidacy.
Generally speaking, there are 1,000-2,000 candidates recommended every year, which is much higher than many people realize.
Therefore, many professors in China like to say that they were once candidates for the Nobel Prize. There is actually nothing wrong with this statement.
For example, Tian Liangwei and Academician Pan have reached this point many times - but at their level, they no longer need to rely on mere candidates to gilt their names, so there is almost no publicity.
The above link will occasionally be extended to early February, but it cannot exceed February 10th at most.
This is an absolute rule that has never been broken.
For example, the results of gravitational waves across the sea were officially announced on February 11, a full day later than the limit date.
Therefore, despite the high demand, the Nobel Prize for gravitational waves was still delayed until a year later - the unlucky guy who was robbed of the Nobel Prize by gravitational waves was Lucas.
Of course.
The reason why the gravitational wave team chose to announce the announcement on February 11 is not a coincidence, but the result of consultation—the three Nobel Prize winners in 2016 all work at universities across the sea.
Therefore, Haidian is indeed very good in this aspect. It should be the only one who can distribute the Nobel Prize, the highest award in science, internally.
all in all.
The last time for nomination is February 10th, and nominations close at 24:00 that night.
Then a small list is generated from February to March, and consultants review the short list from March to August. These steps are strictly confidential.
The Nobel Prize winner will finally be selected in early October and announced in mid-October.
It's February 1st now, and there are still nine days until February 10th, which is the theoretical final deadline.
At this point in time, the results that major institutions should announce have almost been released.
Therefore, whether it is CERN or Kamiokande Laboratory, or major scientific research institutions around the world, they can make some guesses about next year's Nobel Prize.
It’s hard to say who will win the prize in the end.
But it is not difficult to define a final circle range of five or six results.
From the perspective of Lucas, a relatively neutral person.
If nothing unexpected happens
This year's Nobel Prize honor should be born between Kamiokande and CERN.
However, seeing Lars so determined, Lucas, who was more prudent, couldn't help but persuade:
"Lars, are you saying this too perfectly? Don't forget that there are several other laboratories in the world."
"For example, Italy's LNGS, Dussel Laboratory across the sea from us. Oh, by the way, China next door to Neon, didn't they also set up a CJPL?"
"Maybe they will release big news in the next few days?"
When Lucas said the names of the first two laboratories, Lars's expression was quite calm.
But after hearing the four letters CJPL.
The corners of Lars' mouth suddenly turned up with deep disdain, and his expression looked quite exaggerated:
"You mean the China Jinping Underground Laboratory? That deep-earth laboratory that claims to be 2,400 meters deep?"
"Lucas, are you telling a joke? April Fool's Day is still two months away."
"I'm not telling a joke."
Lucas shook his head. He didn't have a good opinion of the country China, but just like he once spoke out for the bear, his views on many things had nothing to do with his opinion or nationality:
"Lars, although that country in China is far behind us in science, their progress over the years cannot be ignored."
"For example, CJPL, their paper revealing the origin of calcium abundance in the oldest stars in the universe is still published in Nature - this is not a remote direction. At least 70 institutions internationally have established relevant
The research team has a lot of funding every year, but the Chinese people made a breakthrough first."
"Lars, you are engaged in physics, so you should know that speed and acceleration are two concepts."
"At a certain moment, a slower object may catch up with the target ahead under the influence of huge acceleration."
"The current China is such an object. If you keep looking at China from this high profile, I'm afraid you will suffer a loss one day."
"Suffering a loss?"
Lars let out a haha. His Latin American ancestry made his body language inexplicably rich:
"Lucas, I think you should see a psychiatrist. Sometimes being too cautious is also a disease."
"I don't deny that China's physics is indeed developing, but if they want to catch up with us, it is simply a daydream."
Then he saw what Lucas was going to say, so he quickly put his palms upright in front of him and pushed towards Lucas:
"OK OK, maybe the acceleration you mentioned is right, but Lucas, at least I can guarantee that that Jinping CJPL will never be able to overtake our BEBC."
After speaking, Lars suddenly thought of something and pointed to the representative of the Cavendish Laboratory beside him:
"Well, if. I mean if, CJPL can produce results close to ours within three years."
"Don't say I'll suffer a loss then, I'll eat the ax from the bronze statue of Maxwell in Cavendish Laboratory on the spot!"
Lars just finished speaking.
Sichuan and Sichuan are tens of thousands of kilometers away.
Xu Yun, who was waiting for the CERN press conference to begin, suddenly appeared in front of Xu Yun without any warning.
【Ding~】
[It is detected that the relevant conditions have been met, and the easter egg is activated!]
Swish——
The next second.
The egg shattered in response and quickly formed a new light curtain:
[Dungeon Easter Egg: The Ax that Crosses Time and Space]
[Easter egg effect: Due to the influence of the easter egg, any physicist who has worked in the Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge University has a 30% probability of changing the bet content to an axe, if the bet content comes true.
, Those who swear will 100% go to Cambridge University to fulfill their contract]
[Note 1: Academicians of the Academy of Sciences or the Academy of Engineering of any independent sovereign country, Nobel Prize winners, and Fields Medal winners are also affected by this effect, and their personal safety will be 100% guaranteed during their stay abroad in compliance with the contract]
[Note 2: Wall-facers are also affected by this effect]
[The first activator: Lars Donnarumma, former director of Cavendish Laboratory]
Xu Yun:
"????"
Damn it?
What is this thing?
It suggested that he knew about the Cavendish Laboratory.
It was a laboratory built by Xiaomai himself, and it was also the first socialized and professional scientific laboratory in the history of modern science. It has an extraordinary reputation?
85 years from 1904 to 1989.
The Cavendish Laboratory has produced a total of 29 Nobel Prize winners, accounting for one-third of the total number of Nobel Prizes awarded by Cambridge University.
If it were regarded as a university, its number of awardees would rank 20th in the world, tied with Stanford University.
Its scientific research efficiency is astonishing and its achievements are unparalleled in the world.
And there is indeed a bronze statue of wheat standing at the entrance of the Cavendish Laboratory.
Just in Xu Yun’s impression
The bronze statue does not have an ax attached to it.
Of course.
Considering the halo's ability to easily travel through time and space, there is no problem in adding an ax to the bronze statue of Wheat.
In addition, after the Mavericks dungeon ended, Halo also allowed Yang Hui's Triangle to replace Pascal's Triangle in the real world.
So it is not surprising that the subconscious cognition of all physicists has once again changed.
but
That damn thing is chewing an axe!
Just imagine that famous scholars and even Nobel laureates ran to the bronze statue of Wheat, stepped on the ladder and gnawed the axe.
hiss.
Think of this.
Xu Yun suddenly took a breath of air.
You must not let others know that you did this.
Otherwise, it might not be as simple as Academician Pan and Tian Liangwei cleaning up the house.
And at the same time Xu Yun was lost in thought.
CERN's press conference also officially kicked off.
39.1 Torture, you can believe it when I turn on the heating and apply ice packs.
