Heidi, Annick and others are all waiting for the new issue of "Arcana" and "Magic". The series of papers on quantum field theory at the beginning of the year gave them these arcane arts that have been deeply studied in the microscopic field.
Inspired by their teacher, they sensed the direction of breakthroughs in the microscopic field, so with their own hard work and Lucien's guidance, they quickly grasped the current knowledge of quantum field theory, each completed a related paper, and collaborated with the Grand Arcanist
, the high-level magicians started a discussion.
Here, Annick and Splinter are among the founders of quantum field theory. It is their joint paper to apply the technique of second quantization to electronic systems, so there is not much difficulty in understanding and grasping it.
, soon followed the pace of great arcanists such as Lucien, Brooke and Fernando, and began to feel dizzy with "infinity", wishing to hold them together and die together.
"In the case of low-order approximation, quantum field theory is very good, but unfortunately, when it comes to high-order approximation..." Katrina sighed and did not say the word "infinity", otherwise Annick would be nothing, Sipu
Lint will definitely go crazy.
Heidi rarely let worries linger in her heart. At this time, she smiled and said: "No matter what, this is a field where we can understand the nature of electromagnetic force and the secrets of electronics!"
She paused: "Uh, no, at least there is no hope of explaining the quantum superposition state, observer effect, etc. from quantum field theory for the time being."
"Moreover, the different processes in which charged particles exchange photons to generate electromagnetic force have given us some inspiration. It seems that we have grasped the situations where positrons may appear, and we need to design some collision experiments." Cherry added for Heidi.
Many times, the discovery of particles is not as simple as finding a suitable ray and observing the trajectory. The "ray" must be allowed to collide with different particles, at different locations, and with different energies, thereby producing different reactions (splitting or other
), and then find the abnormal trajectory from these complex and chaotic reaction results.
Without theoretical guidance, relying solely on experiments will be like a headless fly and can only rely on accumulation over a long period of time. Therefore, legendary magicians and archmages have not been able to discover anything valuable from cosmic rays for the time being.
Heidi smiled proudly and said: "So this will be the main content of our experiment at the Universe Observatory. With the teacher's attention to positrons, you can't compete with us!"
Splinter snorted: "Anyway, my attention is on quantum field theory. There is still a lot of knowledge that needs to be learned and mastered. I have no idea of going to the 'Cosmic Observatory' in a short time."
"Actually, I think Mr. Hathaway's paper is also very inspiring and beautiful. When protons and neutrons are considered to be the same basic particle, I really feel the simple beauty of the nature of matter." Lei
Elijah's daily research is to determine the properties of different materials at different temperatures and synthesize new materials based on these properties, and then repeat experiments to find the reasons why they have superconducting phenomena. It is boring and complicated, so it is difficult to understand the essence of all complex things.
Everyone appreciates the simple point of view.
Annick said calmly: "It cannot be thought so simply. The research on atomic decay phenomena in recent years seems to indicate that protons and neutrons are not as simple as we think, or that the situation in the nucleus is not as simple as we think. When
When it decays, it can actually emit electrons and neutrinos, which Mr. Storm Lord guessed, and Mr. Oliver even guessed that neutrons can be converted into protons. What secrets are contained in this, and whether it reveals something is hard to say."
Leylia probably understood what he meant. She nodded slightly and said, "I know, but according to the opinions of some arcanists, 'neutrinos are almost impossible to detect."
Neutrinos are uncharged and have a very light mass that hardly interacts with matter, so they are called "invisible particles" by arcanists, meaning they are extremely difficult to observe.
"As long as it exists, it can be observed through designed experiments!" Splinter was very confident about this, and then he shook his head: "But the most important thing at the moment is that without a stable reactor, many experiments are difficult to conduct."
"Yes, without a large-scale fission reactor, there is no stable source of particles and it is impossible to complete some experiments for continued research in the microscopic field." Katrina sighed, "Now the urgent need for fission reactors is not only in the field of energy, but also in the field of energy.
Deeper research in the microscopic realm is the desire of most arcane masters."
Heidi burst out laughing: "The vast majority of arcanists say they have no idea or desire, and they can no longer keep up with the progress in the microscopic field.
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and saluted with a smile: "Good morning, teacher."
She immediately spotted Lucien walking to the door.
Lucien took out a stack of journals from his storage bag and said with a smile, "I happened to meet the apprentice who brought you journals, so I took them over."
Heidi and others were not frightened by the teacher's behavior. After all, they knew the teacher's character very well and knew that his behavior was just in passing and had no other meaning.
"Thank you, teacher." Katrina, Heidi and others took the journals with bright smiles.
Lucien shook the remaining book in his hand: "The most interesting thing in this issue is Granny Hathaway's new paper."
"The most interesting?" Splinter and others were stunned for a moment. How could it be so easy to be evaluated as interesting by the teacher? This shows that he appreciates the idea and direction of the paper, and it also shows the inspiring value contained in the paper!
Heidi quickly turned to the table of contents and found the title of Hathaway's new paper: "A few guesses about the strong interaction?"
After finishing reading, Annick and others looked at each other and vaguely guessed something. After all, the nature of electromagnetic force had just found its direction, and a paper on the strong interaction appeared immediately. To say that there was no connection between the two, they were very surprised.
Hard to believe.
Sure enough, Hathaway introduced the "model" and ideas established by quantum field theory into nuclear force (strong interaction force). Since the essence of electromagnetic force is the complex process of charged particles exchanging photons, can the strong interaction force also be considered
Is it the interaction caused by the exchange of certain particles between nucleons (protons, neutrons)?
Hathaway's idea is not difficult to understand, but you need to be free from the constraints of rules and regulations and have the courage to make associations. Therefore, Annick, Katrina, Heidi and others accepted the premise of this speculation without much difficulty, and continued to read
Go down.
Although the research on the strong interaction force is still very superficial, it is enough to support Hathaway to establish a rough model, and then calculate based on the experimental data that this particle is a new type of particle that has not been discovered so far, with a rest mass of about
Two to three hundred times that of electrons.
"If this kind of particle can be discovered, the nature of the strong interaction will be revealed to us..." Annick whispered in shock.
"Is this a prediction of a new particle?" Katrina felt strange.
Leylia frowned slightly and said: "If it is really discovered, can the weak interaction be constructed using this model, and there are also new particles? How many types of particles are there?"
It seems that in an instant, the types of elementary particles have doubled. Although this is just a guess, Leylia and others have to pay attention to it. In the microscopic field, do the types of elementary particles not have simple characteristics? Rather,
A complex and huge system?
Splinter said excitedly: "It would be great if it was really discovered. It means that there will be no secrets about the nature of the strong interaction before us, only detailed exploration!"
"If the three fundamental forces other than gravity can be attributed to the exchange of particles and a corresponding model can be constructed, it means that in our eyes, there are no secrets in the entire world!"
He has always been confident and full of passion, and this time is no exception. As for how many elementary particles there are, that is something that does not matter at all. It is just a guess anyway.
"It's a pity that the study of the weak interaction force cannot even support the construction of such a model, otherwise I would have predicted new particles." Heidi said with "regret", and then she suddenly became happy, "Said
Maybe these new particles are hidden in cosmic rays!”
Splinter suddenly froze, and then said "viciously": "I also want to apply for use."
‘Cosmic Observatory,!”
Seeing the students' enthusiasm for research, Lucien nodded with satisfaction and walked to his office. At this time, his monocle suddenly became hot.
"Lucien, are you free?" Douglas's kind and steady voice sounded.
Lucien smiled and said, "I'm available at any time. Mr. Speaker, what can I do for you?"
"My space jump teleportation array has been set up. Do you want to chase the sun with me?" Douglas chuckled.
Lucien was silent for a moment, and then said: "This is exactly what I expected."
