Before that, this young man from China actually solved a world-class mathematical problem, which is even more unbelievable.
On the communication forums and websites commonly used in physics, physicists and physics students are constantly discussing:
[Incredible, the mystery of the proton’s radius has been solved?]
[The press conference I watched seems to be yes.]
[Is it because metal containers interfere with the scattering of high-energy electron beams? Why did no one in the physics community pay attention to this problem in the past? 】
[Our school was just about to restart the proton radius observation experiment. When we heard the news, we immediately suspended it.]
[I heard that the person who solved this problem seems to be an eighteen-year-old boy.]
[Really, eighteen years old, is this too young? 】
[Yes, he is indeed only 18 years old. He is currently studying for a Ph.D. at Princeton, and his tutor is Edward Witten. What’s even more amazing is that he only solved a world-class mathematical conjecture in the mathematics community in the first half of this year, and in the second half of the year he solved a world-class mathematical conjecture.
The field of physics has solved a new difficult problem.]
[Incredible, he solved a major problem in the fields of mathematics and physics in one year, and then you tell me now that he is still a student. Am I crazy or is the world crazy? 】
[This is a super academic who we can’t even see his back when looking up at him.]
【The next Einstein? Or the next Newton?】
.......
Xu Chuan was unaware of the heated discussion on the Internet. At this moment, he had returned to the hotel and was rushing to write his thesis.
Although the review of the report meeting has been completed, he still needs to prepare the paper and materials and submit them.
After all, it is an experiment completed with the help of special equipment, and you have the right to include and use these things.
Of course, this does not affect Xu Chuan's ability to resubmit it to other physics journals.
Because the publication and inclusion of journals are different from such organizations, the former can be browsed and cited by others, while the latter is basically limited to internal personnel.
However, with the inclusion, the review process will be much simpler when papers on the mystery of the proton radius are submitted.
First of all, the papers that have been included will be accepted immediately, and then the review editor will find a staff member to check. As long as the verification is correct and there are no problems, the paper can be officially published.
In terms of process and time, it is much less than ordinary paper review.
However, this is understandable. After all, it is a paper that has been reviewed once, so there is no need to review it again. Repeated review is a waste of time, and your reputation is still guaranteed.
........
After spending some time to sort out what he had already written, Xu Chuan stood up and stretched.
The paper on the mystery of the proton radius has already been selected for submission to the "Physical Review d" published by the American Physical Society.
Previously, he had already submitted a paper to the other party on the calculation method of the 'proton radius mystery', so submitting another paper was not a big deal in the past.
No physics journal would reject this kind of paper, which is very important to the entire physics community.
After processing the information, Xu Chuan got up, washed his face, and then went downstairs to eat.
In the elevator, he bumped into Chen Zhengping, who was also about to go downstairs.
"Go downstairs to eat? Together?" Chen Zhengping asked with a smile.
Xu Chuan nodded and followed Chen Zhengping to the restaurant on the first floor.
"When are you going to go back to Princeton?" Chen Zhengping asked in the restaurant while picking food on a metal dinner plate.
Xu Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Teacher, how is your work progressing? Do you still need help?"
This time, I came with Chen Zhengping, and all reimbursements for air tickets, accommodation, meals, etc. were all taken along this teacher's route.
Now that he was finished with his work, he was going to see if there was anything Chen Zhengping needed help with.
After all, with his ability, he can still do something.
Hearing this, Chen Zhengping stopped and asked, "Isn't your work here finished? Are you not ready to go back to Princeton to continue your studies?"
Xu Chuan: "I'm still sorting out papers and materials, and it will take some time."
"Besides, when I come here this time, I am nominally participating in your project as a teacher, and all reimbursements and other expenses are on your side. I still have to do something after all."
"And I'm very interested in the Higgs particle. If I can participate in the project, I can have more experience and learn more."
Chen Zhengping nodded and said: "If it doesn't affect you, you are welcome to join my project team at any time."
Chapter completed!
