Xu Chuan did not jump to conclusions about Mo Kun using the results of his discussion with Professor Artur Avila.
After all, the other party may have communicated with Professor Avila and obtained Professor Avila's permission. Although he did not tell him, this is indeed possible.
He may have been ignored.
Compared with Artur Avila, a top mathematician who has won the Fields Medal, he is far behind in terms of age, achievements, qualifications, status and other things.
The other party may have ignored him, an eighteen-year-old young scholar.
Although this is very unpleasant, from the perspective of national conditions, this is indeed possible.
And to be honest, even if the other party directly used the academic achievements of him and Professor Avila without their consent, this is not an unusual thing in the academic world.
Xu Chuan has been doing research in academia for so many years, and he has seen a lot of similar things.
Journal editors reject manuscripts and then plagiarize and publish them; tutors take advantage of students' achievements and exploit them; he has seen many things like academic fraud.
Not only has he seen it, he has also experienced it himself.
In his previous life, when he studied physics with Edward Witten at Princeton, he made a small physics result on gravity during his Ph.D. and submitted it to a journal called "Classical Gravity and Quantum Gravity."
But when the manuscript was reviewed, it was rejected by the other party.
He didn't pay much attention to it at the time. After all, it was normal for a submitted paper to be rejected. Even for a Nobel Prize-winning author, his paper would sometimes be rejected.
But not long after, Xu Chuan unexpectedly discovered that his paper had been briefly revised and then published in this journal.
The author of the paper is a review editor of this journal.
This naturally aroused his anger, and he went to the journal where he submitted the article to complain and seek an explanation.
But it didn't have much effect at first. After all, he was just an ordinary doctoral student.
It is not uncommon in academia for review editors of journals to steal papers and theories from contributors, and it can even be said that it happens every year.
Although this journal of "Classical Gravity and Quantum Gravity" responded that he was investigating after receiving his complaint, there was no movement afterwards. Even his stolen paper was not withdrawn and is still on it.
.
Later, Xu Chuan found his mentor Witten, and with the help of Princeton University, he successfully got the journal to reject the manuscript and apologize.
Not every journal and every review editor can adhere to professional ethics. Top journals will be better in this regard, but similar things will occasionally happen.
What's more, "Classical Gravity and Quantum Gravity" is not a top TP journal. Although it meets the threshold of i, its impact factor is only at the level of zone three or zone four in i.
This kind of journal takes its reputation far less seriously than the top journals.
When this kind of thing happens, their first reaction is not to strictly investigate their review editors, but to find ways to cover up the matter and calm down the matter.
Xu Chuan has experienced a lot of similar things and heard about them a lot. Therefore, things like academic plagiarism no longer stir up much emotion for him.
Scum can be found everywhere, not just in academia.
But cleaning up the scum is everyone's obligation.
If it is confirmed that the professor named Mo Kun has plagiarized and used their work without the consent of him and Professor Artur Avila, then Xu Chuan will do everything possible to deal with the matter.
Plagiarism is a very bad thing for the academic world, because many people think that they can plagiarize other people's work and gain fame and fortune without doing their own research and discovery, and some people will follow suit.
And if this matter is not resolved, what will scholars from other countries think?
Not only will it make many people mistakenly believe that Chinese academic circles are all based on plagiarism, it will also have a very bad impact on subsequent scholars, and many people will think of taking a shortcut.
Unless both he and Professor Avila directly acquiesce in this matter, there will be no further investigation.
But this is obviously impossible. Apart from Professor Avila, Xu Chuan does not have such a character.
Others have directly stolen his academic achievements and want him to avoid pursuing them. He has never dreamed of doing this.
After reading Professor Mo Kun's paper, Xu Chuan picked up his cell phone and sent a message to Hu Xingjian.
"Thank you, received."
If Senior Brother Hu took the initiative to call him to tell him about this, he must remember this friendship.
After writing an email and sending it to Professor Artur Avila, Xu Chuan got up again and went downstairs to eat.
I have to say that his mood must have been affected when something like this happened.
The good mood brought about by the previously calculated optimal search decay channel for the Yukawa coupling of Higgs and third-generation heavy quarks has almost dissipated.
Even though I know that this kind of thing is inevitable in academia, and even though I have experienced a lot in my previous life, everyone would be upset if this kind of thing happened to me.
Professor Avila has not replied to his email, but Xu Chuan knew in his heart that this was most likely a plagiarism incident.
Because he knew that even if Professor Mo ignored him, Professor Avila would not ignore him.
A Fields Medal winner still has this kind of integrity.
In the restaurant, Xu Chuan ordered some food. As soon as he sat down, his cell phone rang again.
It was his mentor Chen Zhengping who called.
When the call was connected, Chen Zhengping's excited voice came over, "Have you calculated the most ideal search decay channel for the Yukawa coupling between Higgs and the third-generation heavy quark?"
Xu Chuan nodded and said, "If nothing else happens, it should be."
"Where are you now?"
Xu Chuan looked up at the restaurant and replied, "Let's eat in a restaurant called 'Vasari Italian Restaurant' across the road from the hotel where we live."
"Okay, wait there for a while, I'll be there soon."
On the other end of the phone, Chen Zhengping said something and then hung up the phone in a hurry.
He arrived faster than Xu Chuan expected. Before the meal was finished, the instructor arrived.
"Have you ever applied for a briefing?"
When Chen Zhengping rushed to the restaurant, the first thing he said was to ask Xu Chuan if he had applied for a report meeting.
Xu Chuan stopped the knife and fork in his hand, shook his head and said, "Not yet, but I have already sent emails to Professor Witten and Professor Gross. There should be no problem with the report."
"Can we collaborate with domestic research teams for this experiment?"
After hearing this, Chen Zhengping asked eagerly, "Currently, people from Nanjing University, Hua University of Science and Technology, and Jiaotong University are still here and can cooperate with you to complete the data analysis work."
The teams that can enter can be said to be the top teams in the country.
For example, at Nanjing University, Chen Zhengping, an academician of the Academy of Sciences, leads the team. The team includes three Ph.D. students in physics, one postdoctoral fellow, and one full-time researcher.
Such a lineup can be said to be quite luxurious.
The University of Science and Technology of China and Jiaotong University don’t even need much.
These two universities are currently one of the pillars of the domestic physics community. More people come than NTU. Not only are the leaders of the team academicians of the Academy of Sciences, but the students who follow are also students starting with Ph.D.s. Jiaotong University even arranges
Three full professors of the Institute of Physics.
Such a luxurious team does nothing else but want to achieve more results.
It is not only an honor for individuals and universities, but also for China to have more say in the world and to join and become a member state.
That’s right, as of 2016, China is still not a member of the EU.
Without this identity, the scientific research work and development of Chinese researchers have always been affected.
First of all, if China lingers at the door for a long time, it will not be in line with China's current and future international status, and it will be difficult to make full use of the various technologies that have been born.
Secondly, without the status of a member state, it is impossible to apply for authorization of scientific and technological achievements.
Don’t simply think of it as just a physics research institution.
The scientific and technological achievements created by the Large Strong Particle Collider are not limited to physics.
A large number of research results have been applied in the fields of medicine and biomedicine, aerospace, security, industry 40, cultural heritage, energy technology and other fields. These application fields involve all aspects of the main technologies and are widely used.
For example, beam instruments and systems, superconducting magnet technology, ultra-low temperature cooling technology, ultra-high vacuum technology, industrial control, magnet technology, particle tracking and calorimetry, radiation protection and monitoring, radio frequency and sensors, superconducting technology, etc.
Every year, knowledge transfer institutions organize and hold various academic conferences, lectures, exhibitions and other activities around relevant research and technology application fields, and announce the latest research and development trends, scientific research progress and transformable technological achievements.
This has made it the source of global innovation and creativity, continuously providing new ideas for the innovative application of various knowledge and science and technology.
According to the relevant charter, top-level projects such as the authorized use of scientific and technological achievements and the high-tech talent training cooperation plan are only open to member states, and engineering and technical personnel from non-member states are not entitled to participate.
If you want to acquire the latest technology and cultivate first-class engineering and technical talents, you have no choice but to become a member.
Although some domestic scientific research institutions have established some cooperative relationships, the participating topics are limited to basic research in particle physics. In terms of high-tech cooperation, it is almost impossible to participate without the status of a member state.
The country has been working hard in this regard, but the results have not been very high.
Xu Chuan’s calculation of the optimal search decay channel for the Yukawa coupling of Higgs and third-generation heavy quarks has brought opportunities in this regard.
If we can take advantage of this opportunity to successfully find the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between the Higgs and the third-generation heavy quark, there is no doubt that China will take more initiative in subsequent research on the Higgs particle.
.
For example, the subsequent Yukawa coupling experiment between Higgs and second-generation light quarks.
There are only so many resources in China. If China takes more bites, it will be able to produce more results. It is not impossible that a Nobel Prize will be awarded as a result.
There are many Nobel Prizes awarded, and high-energy physics and particle physics have always been the core of the physics community.
More importantly, if we can take advantage of this opportunity to promote China to become a member state, the value will be even greater.
Hearing this, Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Won't it delay your work?"
He originally planned to form a temporary team just like how he solved the 'proton radius mystery' before.
After all, top university teams such as Nanjing University, China University of Science and Technology, and Jiaotong University all have their own research tasks.
Top scientific research teams basically never leave their time vacant; they have more scientific research funds, but they also shoulder more missions.
Chen Zhengping smiled and shook his head, saying, "How can this be called a delay? No one else would have such an opportunity."
"If your calculations are correct, this will be a turning point. Perhaps in the future, more emphasis will be placed on the calculation of search energy levels. After all, this can save millions or even tens of millions of gold collision funds.
."
Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "Then I'll trouble you, teacher."
Now that Chen Zhengping took the initiative to come to him, Xu Chuan did not hesitate. After all, he did need a team to help him complete data analysis.
He is confident enough in his data calculations, and more importantly, he knows the data when the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between Higgs and third-generation heavy quarks was discovered in 2018.
The collision energy level and decay data are not very different from the data he calculated.
This means that if a collision experiment is conducted according to his calculation data, the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between Higgs and third-generation heavy quarks will definitely be discovered.
If domestic universities are willing to participate, he will naturally welcome them. After all, the wealth will not go to outsiders.
Hearing this, Chen Zhengping smiled and said, "Then I'll thank you for the others first."
This experiment, regardless of whether it can discover the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between Higgs and third-generation heavy quarks, is an opportunity for the three universities.
After all, it is quite difficult to apply for an independent h collision experiment.
The potential value of the data generated by each independent collision experiment is huge.
Because no one knows whether there is a particle hidden in these data that cannot be predicted by the standard model.
What's more, if the data calculated by Xu Chuan is confirmed to be accurate, it will provide huge help for China to join as a member state.
After all, if he could do it once, he might be able to do it a second time.
Although each collision experiment is different, as long as it is successful once, millions or even tens of millions of meters of gold may be saved.
