After a while of discussion, the experimental preparations began again.
Huang Mingzhe turned to Zhang Tingyu and said: "If my calculation is correct, using lead ions to collide at the 93.4 TeV energy level can produce 150 to 200 graviton signals."
Zhang Tingyu looked at Huang Mingzhe, who was full of confidence, and could only nod his head and give instructions.
The experiment started again, the laser increased the energy level to 93.4TeV, and the collision began again.
"W particles detected..."
"Boson signal No. 63 detected..."
…
Pieces of data were obtained by the detector. Zhang Tingyu stared at the projection screen dumbfounded. Boson No. 63 was a signal suspected of being a graviton.
At this time, a total of 172 boson 63 signals were detected on the projection screen.
"It's really predictable." Wang Yifang couldn't help but scratch his hair.
Others were also shocked by this accuracy. The frequency of the signal of boson 63 was actually within the range predicted by Huang Mingzhe.
Huang Mingzhe smiled and said: "Test again."
"no problem."
Zhang Tingyu continued to direct the tailfield accelerator test and conducted three consecutive experiments. The number of signal occurrences of boson 63 was 172, 186, and 166 respectively.
Now everyone had to believe it.
Wang Yifang said distressedly: "If there is a gravitational wave detector, we can accurately determine whether the No. 63 boson is a graviton."
"Don't Huazhong University of Science and Technology and the Academy of Sciences have a gravitational wave detection plan?" Huang Mingzhe asked.
Well, Wang Yifang was stunned and immediately reacted: "It is true. Huazhong University of Science and Technology had a gravitational wave project in 1998, but the scale was not large. Academician Hu of the Academy of Sciences is studying this aspect, and they are preparing for the Tianqin Project."
“Can I borrow their equipment?”
"I'll give it a try." Wang Yifang didn't dare to vouch for it.
The experiment continued. A day of intensive collision experiments once again produced a huge amount of data, and the funds were burning like crazy. More than 20 million yuan was burned in one day.
However, no one thinks it is expensive. The Dayi Tail Field Accelerator can conduct about forty collision experiments a day, which is more than the Western Continent Alliance Large Hadron Collider can do in a year.
Think about the annual funding CERN invests in the Large Hadron Collider, which is at least US$1 billion per year. If it encounters a malfunction, it will be even more than this amount.
Moreover, the performance of the Dayi Tailfield accelerator is dozens of times that of the Large Hadron Collider. From this comparison, do you think the Dayi Tailfield accelerator is very cost-effective?
Huazhong University of Science and Technology is relatively simple. They are also one of the participating universities of the Ivy League. Huang Mingzhe secured the cooperation through this relationship.
However, Huazhong University of Science and Technology does not have equipment that can detect gravitational waves. They mainly do theoretical work.
…
Academy of Sciences.
National Microgravity Laboratory.
Academician Hu put down the phone and asked several other deputy directors and senior researchers: "The Dayi Research Base wants to borrow laser interference detectors from us. What do you think?"
"Aren't they building a particle collider? Why do they need to use a laser interferometer?" Deputy Director Wen Ning looked confused.
Academician Hu said with a smile: "The Hou Yi Project is already in operation. I heard that the energy level of the collider has been raised to 250TeV in one direction. There may be some major discoveries!"
"Oh my God, how did they do it?"
“Huang Mingzhe’s tailfield accelerator theory is really so awesome”
"I know something about it. The laser of the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Mechanics has refreshed its energy level to 7500J some time ago."
Academician Hu knocked on the table and warned everyone seriously: "It's good to know some things, and don't talk nonsense outside."
Everyone reacted immediately.
Wen Ning, who was responsible for the development of laser interference detectors, thought for a moment and said, "I'll take detector No. 6 over there!"
"This..." Others stopped talking.
Detector No. 6 is the laser interference detector they plan to install on the satellite. It is also an important equipment of the Tianqin Project. Obviously everyone is worried about something going wrong.
"Okay! It's just a borrowing, there's no need to be so petty." Academician Hu made the final decision and decided on the matter.
Wen Ning immediately took Probe No. 6 and a dozen researchers to Xi'an.
The reason why Detector No. 6 was chosen was mainly to facilitate transportation. After all, large laser interference detectors start at a few hundred meters in size and even have a length of several kilometers. Large ones cannot be transported at all.
That’s why we chose the laser interference detector used on satellites, but this thing is also a very expensive piece of equipment.
…
The south of Loess Gaopo, a place with crisp autumn air, has become very lively recently.
Especially as the Chinese physics community continues to publish research results, the whole world has fallen silent.
In particular, Huang Mingzhe's latest paper published in Acta Physica Sinica - "Canonical model of gravitons and gravitational waves" has stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.
Not only did the domestic physics community attach great importance to it, but the foreign physics community also sent letters to the Institute of High Energy and Huang Mingzhe.
at the same time.
City of Geneva of the Western Continent.
At CERN headquarters, a group of physicists were caught off guard by the news.
The Gallic physicist Pompede looked at the papers and faxes in his hands with a confused look on his face: "That tailfield accelerator is real."
"Haha! I don't know." German engineer Guko Max replied, spreading his hands.
Other scientists in the conference room include Serge Aroche from Gaul, Edward Witten and David Wineland from the United States, Peter Higgs from Britain, and Ting Zhaozhong from Taiyuan Province.
There was silence in the conference room, and Peter Higgs said calmly: "Politics should stay away from science."
Others both agree and feel helpless.
The last time CERN excluded Chinese scientists, it is now irreversible. Although China has not refused them academic exchanges, it is estimated that it will be even more difficult to participate in Hou Yi's plan.
Edward Witten pointed to a copy of the paper and said: "Judging from the paper data, the power of their tailfield accelerator is not small."
"At least it reaches the one-way 100TeV level, and the tailfield accelerator actually allowed that young man to do it." Peter Higgs was also very emotional. He and Academician Yang are of the same generation, and can be said to be one of the living fossils in the contemporary physics world.
Already.
As an engineer, Gucomax is even more aware of the difficulty and computational content involved. If CERN's Large Hadron Collider is a miracle with great force, then the China tailfield accelerator is an ingenuity.
Data released by China shows that the total investment in the Hou Yi Project is about US$700 million, which is less than a fraction of the investment in the Large Hadron Collider.
Not to mention that the billions of dollars that CERN burns every year in operating expenses can be used to build two tailfield accelerators.
For a time, everyone had mixed feelings. Their Large Hadron Collider has reached its limit. If new discoveries are to be made, it must be upgraded to a high-brightness hadron collider (about 200TeV in both directions), which is estimated to cost US$5 billion.
The problem is, now that the Houyi Project has achieved such a high energy level, wouldn't it be very embarrassing for them to spend US$5 billion to upgrade the Large Hadron Collider.
It will be at least around 2025 when they upgrade the Large Hadron Collider.
In ten years, the Chinese physics community has already reached the limit of less than 200 TeV.
CERN Chairman Howell, this is really embarrassing!
