In the office, Liu Gaojun looked at Xu Chuan with a confused expression.
He doesn’t understand! He really doesn’t understand!
Even though he was an educator, the principal of a top 9 school, and he also studied science, he really didn't understand what the two were communicating.
I only know that it seems to be related to those in Europe, as well as neutrinos, dark matter, etc. Is it possible that Professor Xu discovered a new particle? Or, discovered dark matter?
Thinking about it, Liu Gaojun's heartbeat skipped half a beat. If this were true, that would be incredible!
On the opposite side, after listening to Xu Chuan's evidence, Chen Zhengping fell into deep thought.
It has to be said that after listening to this, the mysterious particle in his mind that has not yet been confirmed has begun to unconsciously shift towards the sterile neutrino.
What his student said is indeed very reasonable, and theoretically it is completely tenable.
But to be honest, he still couldn't believe that this was a sterile neutrino.
What are sterile neutrinos?
According to current physical assumptions, sterile neutrinos are the particles that constitute dark matter.
But can the detectors currently manufactured by human technology really detect traces of dark matter?
He had reservations about it.
After all, it has been a while since h was upgraded in 2015, but I have never heard of any traces of dark matter being discovered.
Regarding this question, Xu Chuan smiled and replied, "What if sterile neutrinos are not dark matter in the traditional sense?"
Hearing this answer, Chen Zhengping shrank, opened his mouth, and asked, "It's not dark matter in the traditional sense. What do you mean?"
"literal meaning."
Xu Chuan replied with a smile, "In my analysis and speculation, there is a high probability that sterile neutrinos are not dark matter, or in other words, they are not dark matter as currently defined in the physics community."
"In my opinion, it should be some of the particles released when dark matter particles are formed."
"Just like neutrinos, traditional neutrinos do not exist in the nucleus of an atom. They are just particles with zero rest mass, electrical neutrality, and different from photons produced during the decay of atoms."
"The sterile neutrino also has the possibility that it may be an incidental particle produced by dark matter or the decay of the Higgs field."
"This kind of particle, like neutrinos, is different from dark matter and traditional matter to a certain extent. Traditional neutrinos are difficult to observe due to their unique properties, while sterile neutrinos can be detected because of that slight difference.
observed by conventional detectors."
"It is precisely because of this that" the Dalitz diagram drawn from the experimental data collected by the aie detector is very strange. It does not show all its energy levels, resonance states, kinematic variables and other information, but
It’s like a shadow or an appearance.”
"This just shows that the sterile neutrino is likely to be just a particle with some properties of dark matter. It is a new form of particle in an intermediate state between dark matter and conventional particles."
"In other words, it has the properties of both dark matter and regular matter, so we can observe it through the AIE detector."
Hearing this, Chen Zhengping nodded in agreement. Judging from the analysis data and Dalitz diagram sent to him by Xu Chuan, it indeed fits these characteristics.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Is there any feedback over there?"
Xu Chuan shook his head and said, "Not yet, just wait for two more days. If there is no news, I will call Professor Witten and ask."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
The caller ID showed the person he had just spoken to, Professor Edward Witten.
"Hey, Xu Chuan, where are you? Is it convenient for me to come over?" When the call was connected, Wei Tengsu asked directly.
Xu Chuan shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, mentor, I'm afraid I won't be able to get through there."
Witten quickly said without hesitation, "Well, give me your address and I'll go find you."
"Well, tutor, just come to Nanda directly. I'll wait for you here." Xu Chuan thought for a while and replied.
"OK."
Witten nodded, and then hung up the phone without further chatting. Xu Chuan didn't have any questions. Coming to see him at this time must be related to the analysis results he sent before.
The matter is so important that I probably won’t be able to sit still.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Chuan turned to look at the president of NTU and said, "Principal, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble NTU in the next two days. A press conference may be held at NTU."
Liu Gaojun smiled and said, "How can this be called trouble? It is an honor for Nanda to be able to hold this kind of press conference."
Although he didn't know exactly what the results of Xu Chuan's research were, he did understand things like unknown new particles and dark matter.
A press conference involving these things will definitely cause a huge sensation in the physics community and even the scientific community.
As the host of the press conference, Nanda will also gain a huge reputation.
Any school would just hope that the more press conferences like this, the better.
What Xu Chuan didn't expect was that the day after Edward Witten made the call, he and his people rushed to NTU.
In a reception room of NTU, Xu Chuan met the visitors this time, Edward Witten, David Gross, Arthur MacDonald, Francois Engler, and Yoichiro Nanbu
Edward Witten will not introduce much. He is the only person to win the Fields Medal as a physicist, and David Gross is the current president of the board of directors.
As for Arthur MacDonald, Francois Engler, Yoichiro Nanbu and others, they are either top experts in the field of particle physics or experts in theoretical physics.
Moreover, except for Edward Witten, all of the people who came to participate in this exchange have won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
Such a communication lineup is extremely luxurious for an analysis data that has not yet been confirmed and has a confidence level of only 3iga.
"Professor Xu, long time no see."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the reception room, David Gross walked up to say hello with a smile, and also sighed.
When Xu Chuan went to study experiments with Edward Witten, he was very optimistic and believed that this young man would definitely make great achievements in the future.
I just didn't expect that in just three or four years, the other party would already be at the pinnacle of the physics world and even the science world.
It is simply unimaginable that a series of honors such as the Nobel Prize, Fields Medal, and Crafford Medal could be bestowed upon a boy in his twenties.
】
"Mr. Chairman." Xu Chuan greeted with a smile. He did not call Professor Gross, but Mr. Chairman, which showed that he was still a researcher.
Sure enough, after hearing this title, the smile on David Gross's face became even brighter. "We have already seen the data analysis you sent a few days ago, and this is what we are here for today."
Xu Chuan nodded and asked, "I wonder if the council will agree to continue to turn on h and repeat the experiment to collect more data?"
David Gross smiled and said, "This is exactly what we came in for."
"Although you have listed the analytical data and Daritz chart in detail in your email, there are still many doubts. If you can answer these doubts, you will hold a press conference in China to make this public.
When new discoveries are made, follow-up collision experiments will be launched and special research will be carried out."
After a pause, the chairman continued, "Of course, the premise is that you have to convince us today."
"After all, your discovery is so great. If the verification is successful, it will not only be the first time to find a new type of particle beyond the standard model, but also break the record. It will also tear open the veil of dark matter for the first time.
Let us see the world hidden behind the chaos!"
Xu Chuan smiled and asked, "I wonder what doubts you have about this data analysis and the Dalitz chart?"
David Gross glanced at the people in the reception room, his eyes fell on Chen Zhengping, who was also attending, and asked, "Professor Chen, could you please arrange a conference room with projection equipment in your school?"
Chen Zhengping, who accompanied the exchange as a representative of NTU, nodded and said, "Of course, NTU has already prepared. Please come with me."
The group got up and followed Chen Zhengping to a conference room. David Gross opened the notebook he brought with him and connected it to the projection equipment.
What was projected on the silver-white curtain was the data analyzed by Xu Chuan and the Dalitz chart.
After turning on the projection, David Gross, the chairman of the board of directors, said solemnly, "Next, we will conduct the CERN - 2018 AIE detector 13tev energy level collision experiment - sterile neutrino report meeting."
"The speaker of the conference is Professor Xu Chuan, a Chinese scholar."
"This report will take a special form, and the participants will be David Gross, Edward Witten, Arthur MacDonald, Francois Engler, representative members of the Council. The above representatives will replace the Council with full authority.
We will decide on the findings of this report and make decisions on follow-up research.”
""
At first, Xu Chuan thought this was just an ordinary exchange meeting. It was not until David Gross opened his mouth that he realized that this exchange meeting was actually so formal.
Well, this should not be called an exchange meeting, but a report meeting.
He was the speaker, and there were less than ten people in the audience. It could be said to be the smallest but most valuable lecture in the world.
After briefly describing the process of this small report meeting, David Gross looked at Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan nodded, stood up and walked to the projection screen.
Looking at the people sitting in the conference room, he took a deep breath and said calmly, "I am honored to be standing here today to give this report."
"At the end of 2018, I accidentally learned that H had conducted a 13tev energy level collision experiment to simulate the scene of the Big Bang. I was very interested in this and contacted me and asked for a copy.
Analyze the raw data from the collision experiment in the hope of discovering some new things or phenomena."
"Here I would like to thank my alma mater, NTU, for their support. It is precisely because of their help that this discovery was made."
After briefly introducing the background of this discovery and thanking his alma mater for their help as usual, Xu Chuan knew that the elders in the audience were not interested in this, so he quickly got to the point.
As he spoke, he clicked the laser pointer in his hand, and the home page on the projection screen was opened, revealing the text inside.
"While analyzing this collision data, I accidentally discovered that in the data of the aie detector, in the 120u (rφ direction) beam z observation data of the antihelium-3 nucleus of the internal tracking system, unexpected
A quantum drop signal data has appeared."
"At first, I thought this was just an ordinary quantum fluctuation or background clutter, but with analysis, I also found this phenomenon in another piece of data."
"So, through searching and checking through the data model, I confirmed that there is a phenomenon unknown in the current physics world in the 120u (rφ direction) beam z observation data of the anti-helium-3 nucleus of the internal tracking system."
Xu Chuan did not waste a lot of time on the things in these report documents. Xu Chuan knew what the big guys in the audience really wanted, so he simply passed the report directly.
"My report is complete. If you have any doubts, you can raise them now. I will do my best to answer your questions."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hand was raised from the side of the conference table.
Xu Chuan looked over and saw that the person raising his hand was Professor Arthur McDonald, who won the Nobel Prize in 2015 for discovering the phenomenon of neutrino oscillation.
Nodding, he stretched out his hand to signal the big man to ask questions.
Professor Arthur McDonald stood up, looked directly at Xu Chuan, and asked, "According to the comprehensive analysis of currently available observational data in the physics world, the main component of dark matter should not be any known microscopic elementary particles. It only participates in
Gravitational interaction and weak photon interaction.”

As soon as Professor Arthur McDonald opened his mouth, Xu Chuan knew what he wanted to say.
This is one of the questions raised by Chen Zhengping yesterday, and it is also some speculation that he did not include in the report document. However, the details of Professor McDonald's question are different. He raised it from the perspective of the four basic forces.
Waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Xu Chuan put a smile on his face "Theoretically speaking"
In the conference room, Xu Chuan answered some doubts in the minds of several experts.
This report meeting started at nine o'clock in the morning and lasted until eleven o'clock in the afternoon. The focus was not on the content report in the first half, but on the discussion and exchange in the second half.
Especially when Xu Chuan proposed that sterile neutrinos may not belong to dark matter, but are a kind of intermediate between dark matter and conventional matter, the entire conference room was filled with astonishment.
This was not mentioned in that important data analysis report.
Several people present were quite interested in what he said.
After the lecture, Professor Francois Engler, who had a white beard and a smile that looked like Santa Claus, stood up, patted Xu Chuan on the shoulder, and said with a smile
"This is a discovery that shocked the world. I now believe that the mysterious particle is the sterile neutrino! We have great hope to use this to unlock a corner of the mysterious dark matter!"
On the side, David Gross, the chairman of the council, smiled and said, "This is a very satisfactory exchange. According to the final statement, the arrangements for the collision experiment will be updated in the second half of this year."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan showed a smile on his face, which was exactly what he said he expected.
As long as there are more collision experiments, more data can be harvested, thereby increasing the confidence and thoroughly confirming the existence of sterile neutrinos.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard Gross continue, "You know, there have been many meetings before coming here. Although your discovery is very important, at first the council was only planning to arrange two or three meetings in the second half of the year.
Collision."
"After all, many people think that this may just be some unknown phenomenon or some undiscovered new particle. Dark matter can be observed. This is really incredible for the current observation methods. It can be said to be completely incredible.
Possible things."
"But today, you convinced us all!"
"After we go back, we will reconvene the council, and we will convince others. In the second half of this year, h will make every effort to capture this mysterious particle, collect more data, and find it as quickly as possible!"
"If nothing else happens, this may be the greatest and most important new discovery after the Higgs particle!"
p I feel like there was something wrong with the chapters written yesterday and today. The explanations yesterday should have been put into today. It would be more fun to pretend to be bi in front of the Nobel Prize winner. I will revise it after this month is over (I can’t do it now)
, large-scale changes will definitely delete the number of words in chapters, thus affecting full attendance.)
