Into Unscientific

CERN conference site.

Hear what Lucas said.

Lars' eyes suddenly became serious.

Although due to the need for confidentiality, CERN has not disclosed the details of this achievement.

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, that is, Big European Bubble Chamber.

The term bubble chamber might sound like blowing bubbles, but actually

This stuff is really for blowing bubbles.

The concept of the bubble chamber first appeared in 1952 by the famous Donald Glaser.

That is, the well-known gay guy who came out at the age of 75.

He filled a pressure vessel with superheated liquid, and when charged particles entered it, they formed a chain of bubbles along their path, gurgling out.

Due to the effect of the external magnetic field, the trajectory of the particles will also take on a helical shape.

The energy, mass and type of incoming particles can be estimated afterwards by studying the pictures of these bubbles.

This is where the bubble chamber comes in.

Of course.

Today's bubble chamber and the equipment originally designed by Donald Glaser are completely two concepts of heaven and earth.

The earliest bubble chamber designed by Donald Glaser was only 2 mm, and the liquid filled was first beer. It turned out that his brother would drink the beer and then changed 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, and is also equipped with the world's largest superconducting magnet.

From the very beginning, it has only one mission:

Solving the mysteries of neutrinos and hadrons.

CERN claims that after BEBC completes its mission, it will immediately use a grand explosion to call BEBC a curtain call.

Therefore, the purpose of the vast majority of BEBC employees to work in BEBC is to send this bubble chamber away with their own hands.

alright.

The line of sight returns to the original place.

all in all.

Although Lars was not the keynote speaker at today's report, the result was born under his nose, so he has a very clear understanding of the gold content of this report.

So he thought about it and said to Lucas:

"Lucas, anyway, you will know our results soon, so I won't keep it from you."

"Although I hate those neon people who pretend to be very polite but are actually extremely low-key, I have to admit that the nature of the particle they discovered this time is indeed somewhat beyond our expectations."

"For example, our estimated G factor is at most about 1.5, but I didn't expect them to break through 2."

Lucas glanced at his friend when he heard the words, and joked:

"So Lars, are you going to surrender now? I remember there is a small hill across from Gaul"

"How can it be?"

Lars was taken aback when he heard the words, and his voice suddenly rose a lot as if he was stimulated when he recovered.

However, when he saw the gazes from the people around him, his tone was still much restrained:

"At most, it's just a little troublesome. Before we estimated that it would be 82% or even 73%. Now it's about 64% or 55% vs. 45%."

"That is to say, there is an advantage, but it is not obvious, at least it cannot directly overwhelm the results of the Kamiokande detector, so"

"If nothing else happens, this year's Nobel Prize should be between us and Neon people."

Lucas thought for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Students who have been judges of the Nobel Prize should know it.

Although for 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 10 every year, which is the anniversary of Nobel's death, the Nobel Prize awarding ceremonies are held in Stockholm and Oslo respectively, and the King and Queen of Sweden attend and award the prizes.

But in fact.

Before the Nobel Prize was announced, there were still 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 by various Nobel Prizes.

After the primary election, a letter will be sent to confirm the candidate's candidacy.

Generally speaking, there are 1,000-2,000 candidates recommended each year, which is much higher than many people realize.

Therefore, many professors in China like to say that they used to be candidates for the Nobel Prize. There is nothing wrong with this sentence.

For example, Tian Liangwei and Academician Pan have reached this point many times—it’s just that at their level, they no longer need to be gilded by mere candidates, so there is almost no publicity.

The above link will occasionally be extended to the beginning of February, but no more than February 10.

This is an absolute death rule, which has never been broken so far.

For example, when gravitational waves were across the sea, the relevant results were officially announced on February 11, a whole day later than the limit date.

So despite the high voices, 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 on February 11 is not a coincidence, but the result of consultations—the three Nobel Prize winners in 2016 all worked in universities across the sea.

So the opposite side of the sea is really awesome in this aspect. It should be the only one who can distribute the highest award in the scientific world such as the Nobel Prize internally.

all in all.

The last time for nominations is February 10, and nominations close at 24:00 that night.

Subsequently, a small list will be generated from February to March, and the small list will be reviewed by consultants from March to August. These steps are strictly confidential.

Finally, the winner of the Nobel Prize was selected in early October and announced in mid-October.

Right now it is February 1st, and there are still nine days before February 10th, which is the theoretical final deadline.

At this point in time, the results that should be announced by major institutions are almost finished.

Therefore, whether it is CERN or Kamioka 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 delineate the scope of the final circle with five or six results.

From the perspective of Lucas, a relatively neutral person.

if nothing else

This year's Nobel Prize honor should be born between Kamioka and CERN.

However, seeing that Lars was so determined, Lucas, who was more stable, couldn't help but persuade:

"Lars, didn't you say this too well? Don't forget that there are several other laboratories in the world."

"For example, the LNGS of Italy, and the Dussel Laboratory across the sea from us. Oh, by the way, Huaxia next door to Neon, didn't they also set up some kind of CJPL?"

"Maybe in the next few days, they will release a big news?"

When Lucas named the first two labs, Lars looked calm.

But after hearing the four letters CJPL.

The corner of Lars' mouth suddenly raised a thick disdain, and his expression looked quite exaggerated:

"You mean the China Jinping Underground Laboratory? The so-called 2400-meter deep laboratory?"

"Lucas, are you telling a joke? April Fool's Day is still two months away."

"I'm not telling jokes."

Lucas shook his head. He didn't have a good opinion of China as a country, but just like he once spoke out for Mao Xiong, his views on many things have nothing to do with his favor or nationality:

"Lars, although that country in China is far behind us in terms of science, their progress over the years cannot be ignored."

"For example, CJPL, their paper revealing the origin of the calcium abundance of the oldest stars in the universe is still hanging in "Nature" - this is not a remote direction, at least 70 institutions in the world have established relevant The research group has a lot of funding every year, but the Huaxia people made a breakthrough first."

"Lars, you are in physics, you should know that velocity and acceleration are two concepts."

"A slow object at a certain moment may catch up with the target in front of it in a short time under the accumulation of huge acceleration."

"The current Huaxia is such an object. If you keep looking at Huaxia with this high profile, I am afraid that one day you will suffer."

"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 a disease."

"I don't deny that Huaxia's physics is indeed developing, but they want to catch up with us. This is simply a daydream."

Then, seeing what Lucas was about to say, he quickly put both palms upright in front of him, and pushed Lucas:

"OKOK, maybe the acceleration you said is right, but Lucas, at least I can assure you that Jinping CJPL will never overtake our BEBC."

After speaking, Lars suddenly thought of something, and pointed at 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 you're at a disadvantage when the time comes, I'll eat the ax on the bronze statue of Maxwell in the Cavendish Laboratory on the spot!"

Lars just finished speaking.

Sichuan and Shu tens of thousands of kilometers away.

In front of Xu Yun, who was waiting for the start of the CERN press conference, a golden egg suddenly appeared without warning.

【Ding~】

[It is detected that the relevant conditions have been met, and the easter egg is activated! 】

Swish——

next second.

The egg shattered in response, and quickly formed a brand new light curtain:

[Dungeon Easter Egg: Ax Across Time and Space]

[Easter egg effect: Affected by the easter egg, any physicist who has worked in the Cavendish Laboratory of Cambridge University has a 30% probability of replacing the content of the bet with an ax when swearing. If the content of the bet is realized , the person who swears will 100% go to Cambridge University to fulfill the contract]

[Note 1: Academicians of the Academy of Sciences or Academy of Engineering, Nobel Prize winners, and Fields Medal winners of any independent sovereign country are also affected by this effect, and their personal safety will be 100% guaranteed during the contract abroad]

[Note 2: Wallfacers are also affected by this effect]

[The first activator: Lars Donnarumma, former director of Cavendish Laboratory]

Xu Yun:

"????"

Fuck?

What is this?

He did know about the Cavendish laboratory mentioned by the reminder.

That is the laboratory established by Wheat himself. It is also the first socialized and professionalized 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 at Cambridge University.

If it is regarded as a university, its number of awardees can be ranked 20th in the world, tied with Stanford University.

Its scientific research efficiency is astonishing, and its fruitful results are unparalleled in the world.

At the entrance of the Cavendish Laboratory, there is indeed a bronze statue of wheat.

Only in Xu Yun's impression

There is no ax pinned to the bronze statue.

Of course.

In terms of Halo's ability to travel through time and space with ease, it's not a problem to add an ax to the bronze statue of wheat.

In addition, after the end of the Mavericks dungeon, the halo also allowed Yang Hui's triangle to replace Pascal's triangle within the scope of reality.

So it is also not too surprising that it is now changing the subconscious perception of all physicists again.

but

That tmd is gnawing an axe!

Imagine a well-known scholar or even a Nobel laureate, running to the side of the bronze statue of wheat, stepping on a ladder to eat an ax

hiss.

Think here.

Xu Yun suddenly took a deep breath.

Don't let others know that you made it yourself.

Otherwise, it might not be as simple as academician Pan and Tian Liangwei cleaning up the door

And at the same time when Xu Yun was in a trance.

CERN's press conference officially kicked off.
