Chapter 84: New Particle Prophecy Monthly Pass)
In the Institute of Atomic Research.!
Heidi, Annick and others are waiting for the new issue of "Archat" and "Magic". The series of papers on quantum field theory at the beginning of the month inspired these arcaneists who have studied deeply in the microscopic field and felt the direction of breakthrough in the microscopic field. Therefore, under their own hard work and the guidance of Lucien, they quickly grasped the current knowledge of quantum field theory, and each completed a related paper to discuss with the great arcane and advanced magicians.
Among them, Annick and Sprint themselves are one of the founders of quantum field theory - applying the technique of secondary quantization to electronic systems is their joint paper, so it is not difficult to understand and grasp it. Soon they followed the pace of great arcanes such as Lucien, Brooke and Fernando, and began to be dizzy by "infinity", and they wished they could die together with them.
"In the case of low-order approximation, quantum field theory is very good. Unfortunately, when high-order approximation..." Katrina sighed, without saying the word "infinity", otherwise Annick would have nothing, and Sprint would definitely go crazy.
Heidi rarely lets troubles keep her mind alive. At this time, she smiled and said, "No matter what, this is a field that can figure out the essence of electromagnetic force and the secrets of electronics!"
She paused: "Uh, no, at least quantum superposition states, observer effects, etc. cannot see the hope of explanation from quantum field theory for the time being."
"And, the different processes of photon exchange photons for generating electromagnetic force have given us a little inspiration. It seems that we have to design some collision experiments when positrons may appear," Cherie added to Heidi.
Many times, the discovery of particles is not as simple as finding a suitable ray and observing a trajectory. The "ray" must collide with different particles, collide at different locations, and collide with different energy, thereby producing different reactions (division or other), and then find the abnormal trajectory from these complex and disturbing reaction results.
Without theoretical guidance, relying solely on experiments will be like a headless fly, and can only accumulate over a long period of time. Therefore, legendary magicians and great wizards have not yet discovered anything of great value from cosmic rays.
Heidi smiled proudly and said, "So this will be the main content of our experiments when we go to the 'cosmic observatory', with the teacher's attention to positrons, you can't compete with us!"
Splint snorted: "Anyway, my attention is on quantum field theory, and there is still a lot of knowledge that needs to be learned and mastered. I have not had the idea of going to the "cosmic observatory" in a short period of time."
"Actually, I think that the paper by His Excellency Hathaway is also very illuminating and 'beautiful. When protons and neutrons are considered to be the same elementary particles, I truly felt the simple beauty of the essence of matter." Leiliya's daily research is to determine the properties of different materials at different temperatures and synthesize new materials through these properties, and then repeat the experiments to find out why they have superconducting phenomena boring and complex, so I appreciate the view that the essence of all complex things will be simple.
Annik said calmly: "We can't think so simply that the research on atomic decay phenomenon in recent years seems to show that protons and neutrons are not as simple as we imagined, or that the situation in the atomic nucleus is not as simple as we imagined. When it decays, it can actually release electrons and neutrinos that the Lord of the Storm speculates, and even Lord Oliver speculates that neutrons can be converted into protons. What secrets do this contain? It is hard to say whether it shows anything."
Leyriya probably understood what he meant, and nodded slightly, "I know, but according to the view of some arcanes, 'Neutrals are almost impossible to be discovered."
Neutrinos are not charged and have very light mass and hardly interact with matter, so they are called "invisible particles" by arcanes, meaning that they are extremely difficult to observe.
"As long as it exists, it can be observed through design experiments!" Splint was very confident about this, and then shook his head: "But the most important thing at the moment is that without a stable reactor, many experiments are difficult to carry out."
"Yes, without large fission reactors, there is no stable source of particles and it is impossible to complete some experiments in the microscopic field. "Katrina sighed. "The urgent need for fission reactors now is not only in the energy field, but also in the deeper research in the microscopic field. This is the desire of most arcane artists."
Heidi burst out laughing: "Most arcane artists said they were unaware of it and did not desire it. They could 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 discovered Lucien who had walked to the door.
Lucien took out a stack of journals from his storage bag and smiled and said, "I happened to meet an apprentice who sent you a journal, so I took it over."
Heidi and others were not afraid of the teacher's actions. After all, they knew the teacher's character very well and knew that his actions were really just by the way and had no other meaning.
"Thank you, teacher." Katrina, Heidi and others took over the journal with bright smiles.
Lucien shook the remaining one in his hand: "The most interesting thing in this issue is Hathaway's new paper."
"The most interesting?" Sprint and others were stunned for a moment. It was not that easy to be evaluated as interesting by the teacher. This shows that he appreciated the ideas and direction of the paper, and also explained the inspiring value contained in the paper!
Heidi quickly flipped into the catalog and found the title of Hathaway's new paper: "A little guess about strong interaction forces?"
After reading it, Annick and others looked at each other and guessed something. After all, the essence of electromagnetic force had just begun to have a direction, and a paper with strong interaction force immediately appeared. It is difficult for them to believe that there is no connection between the two.
Sure enough, Hathaway introduced the "model" and ideas established by quantum field theory to nuclear forces (strong interaction forces). Since the essence of electromagnetic forces is a complex process of charging particles exchanging photons, can strong interaction forces also be considered as interactions generated by the exchange of certain particles between nucleons (protons, neutrons)?
It is not difficult to understand Hathaway's ideas, but it only needs to be free from being bound by rules and regulations and have the courage to make associations. Therefore, Annick, Katrina, Heidi and others accepted the premise of speculation without much difficulty and continued to read.
Although the study of strong interaction forces is still shallow, it is enough to support Hathaway to establish a rough model. Then, based on the data measured by the experiment, it is calculated that this particle is a new particle that has not been discovered so far, with a static mass of about two or three hundred times that of electrons.
"If this particle can be found, the nature of the strong interaction force will also be revealed in front of us..." Annick whispered in a little shock.
"Is this a prophecy of a new particle?" Katrina felt strange.
Leiliya frowned slightly and said, "If I really discovered it, can the weak interaction force be constructed using this model, and there are also new particles? How many types of particles are there?"
It seemed that in a moment, the types of elementary particles doubled. Although this is just a guess, Leyriya and others have to pay attention to it. Does the types of elementary particles have not had simple characteristics in the microscopic field? Instead, it is a complex and huge system?
Sprint said excitedly: "It would be great if you really find it, it means that the essence of the strong interaction force will not be secrets in front of us, only exploration of details!"
"If the three basic forces outside gravity can all be attributed to the exchange of particles and a corresponding model is built, it means that in our eyes, there is no secret in the entire world!"
He has always been confident and passionate, and it is no exception at this time. As for how many elementary particles are, it is something that doesn't need to be cared about at all. Anyway, it's just speculation.
"It's a pity that the research on weak interaction forces can't even support the construction of such a model, otherwise I would also predict new particles." Heidi said quite "regrettably", and then she became happy, "Maybe these new particles are hidden in cosmic rays!"
Sprint was stunned and then said "viciously": "I want to apply for use too
‘Cosmic Observatory,!”
Seeing that the students were passionate about research, Lucien nodded with satisfaction and walked towards his office. At this time, his monocles suddenly became hot.
"Lucion, are you free?" Douglas's kind and calm voice rang.
Lucien smiled and said, "At any time, Mr. Speaker, what's the matter?"
"My space jump teleportation array has been arranged. Do you want to go after the sun with me?" Douglas laughed.
Lucien was silent for a moment and said, "This is exactly what I expected."
