Xueba starts with change

Chapter 525 The Long-awaited October

The academic exchange at KEK lasted for 20 days, nearly two weeks.

Although the public opinion in Huaguo has fermented to a certain extent, for Chen Zhou, in a state of complete neglect, it hardly has much influence.

From Chen Zhou's point of view, it's just a group of self-directed and self-acted clowns.

This group of people, at most, took advantage of the time when he was planning a study tour, and jumped around a little bit.

After that, he will use practical actions to silence these people.

The only thing that surprised Chen Zhou was that the author of the legendary story post found him on the Yanda campus website and wanted to "spoiler it".

In this regard, Chen Zhou neither refused nor informed them all.

Just tell this person that he has his own plan, and he will give everyone an expected answer in the future.

As for the specific content of the plan, it is up to him, the author, to speculate logically based on the actual situation.

After all, a legendary story post is a story after all, and still needs some dramatic embellishments.

The author of the post also understood, and then began to update his post.

In the post, he took what he thought was the greatest possibility as a material and processed it artistically.

I have to say that the author's ability to make up stories is really good.

When he finished writing and sent it to Chen Zhou for preview, Chen Zhou felt that the author's plan was even more perfect than he thought.

Because it is mixed with the open competition of the eight high-energy physics experimental research centers.

In the end, Chen Zhou deeply understood the righteousness of his family and country, and chose to return to his country!
With a cavity of blood, repay the motherland that has cultivated myself for many years.

After reading the whole story, Chen Zhou instantly felt that his image had become taller.

But to be honest, this is also true.

He rejected the invitation of Princeton, the world's mathematics center, and the retention of his alma mater, MIT. After being strongly invited by the other seven high-energy physics experimental research centers, he finally chose the Institute of High Energy Physics, Huaguo Academy of Sciences.

In addition, through this story, Chen Zhou also realized one thing.

That is, whether you return to the country or not really has a lot to do with it.

It is no exaggeration to say that his whereabouts are likely to affect Huaguo's future talent strategy.

Of course, the impact on national strategy is not that serious.

When I left KEK, a Japanese high-energy accelerator research institution, it was already mid-September.

At this time, the eyes of the entire physics community are also on one thing.

That is the announcement of the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Because, the coming October is the month when the Nobel Prize in Physics is announced.

And the specific announcement time is usually in early October.

In addition to the eyes of the physics community, the eyes of the world's major media are also staring at this matter.

After all, the youngest Nobel Prize in Physics in history is likely to be born this year.

According to statistics from relevant institutions, the youngest Nobel Prize winner in physics in history is British physicist William Lawrence Bragg.

In 1915, William Lawrence Bragg proposed the crystal diffraction theory, established the Bragg formula, and improved the X-ray spectrometer through the study of the X-ray spectrum, thus creating a very important and meaningful branch of science - X-ray crystal structure analysis.

Therefore, he and his father, the famous physicist William Henry Bragg, who also made outstanding contributions in this field and jointly published research results, won the 1915 Nobel Prize in Physics.

William Lawrence Bragg was only 25 years old when he won the award!
Now, the only physicist who hopes to break this record is Chen Zhou.

You know, this is big news.

There are often young people, but there is only one person who can become the youngest Nobel Prize winner in physics in history.

In addition to the media, the entire Hua Country is also looking forward to the arrival of October.

In the final analysis, every Chinese has their own sense of national pride.

Although many physicists of Chinese origin have won the Nobel Prize in Physics, there are still no Chinese physicists who truly belong to the Chinese people.

This is a gap that cannot be filled no matter how many Chinese physicists win the Nobel Prize in Physics.

In fact, Chen Zhou himself was looking forward to it.

Although, he perfected the glue ball theory, solved the problem of closed color, and further perfected the basic theory of particle physics.

And in that year, based on his own theory, he discovered the glue ball predicted by quantum chromodynamics.

It can be said that absolute research results have been achieved in both theory and practice, which is enough to win the Nobel Prize in Physics.

But, how to say.

The Nobel Prize in Physics, or the Nobel Prize, has always had an unwritten rule.

That is queuing.

After all, there are too many physics research results born every year.

As a result, many physicists are waiting in line for the arrival of the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Therefore, the research results discovered that year may not be able to win awards that year.

However, Chen Zhou is not very worried, even if it delays him for two years.

Then he will also be the youngest Nobel Prize winner in physics in history.

Youth is Chen Zhou's greatest capital.

It is also one of the reasons why the entire physics community is most optimistic about Chen Zhou.

Therefore, Golden Autumn October can be said to be a much-anticipated October.

……

"Professor Friedman, there are two more stops, and our academic exchange journey is coming to an end."

On the plane flying to the United States, Chen Zhou talked to Friedman thoughtfully.

Friedman glanced at Chen Zhou and asked with a smile, "Do you want to say that although they are the world's top eight high-energy physics experimental research centers, their research methods and cooperation methods are also different in different regions?"

Chen Zhou nodded lightly: "What I saw and heard along the way really touched me deeply."

"Whether it is CERN's international cooperation and exchanges, or the rigorous attitude of researchers at the German Electron Synchrotron Institute, or the tolerance and seriousness of the Budeker Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, or the industry of Japan's high-energy accelerator research institutes, Combining and laying out the future. They all left a deep impression on people.”

"Of course, there is also SLAC here. The compromise in front of the footsteps of the times is what I feel the most about."

Hearing Chen Zhou's words, Friedman was also a little bit embarrassed.

He thought for a while, and said: "If you don't look at the world's eight high-energy physics experimental research centers, but look at all high-energy physics laboratories, you will find that no matter which laboratory has its own characteristics. , this is their foundation."

After a pause, Friedman said again: "Actually, when you told me about your study tour plan, I felt that your thoughts were different."

"Academia is definitely not something to do behind closed doors. I couldn't tell you this before. After all, you have your own research methods."

"But now, I don't think I need to say, you also have your own insights. If you have the opportunity, you still need to have more academic exchanges, which will be good for you."

"No matter where you are in the future, the experience and knowledge gained from other places will be your most precious wealth."

Speaking of this, Friedman glanced at Chen Zhou again, and said in a different tone: "I'm not saying that your research method is not good, what I mean is that you can expand your advantages, or combine them. "

"You have physical intuition and mathematical intuition that no one else has. Your deduction of paper experiments is the best in this world, even among all physicists."

"So, you should make better use of this. In the process of academic exchanges, learn from the strengths of others and give full play to your own advantages to achieve different research results."

This is the second time that Friedman, as a teacher, has said so much to Chen Zhou after the lighthouse exchange.

Cross in the back seat was a little surprised.

You know, Friedman rarely treats his students like this.

There is no doubt that Friedman was an excellent teacher.

However, Friedman's persuasive and persuasive teachings are rarely discussed with students.

Even Cross, who has been with Friedman for so long, and as a teacher and friend with Friedman, has never heard these words.

More often, Friedman will directly tell his students what to do and how to do it.

Rather than this type of exchange of advice.

It has to be said that Cross obviously felt that there was something different in the way Friedman treated Chen Zhou from the beginning.

But this kind of difference seems to be the most suitable for Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou, who listened carefully to Friedman's words, turned his head and smiled at Friedman, and said softly, "Thank you, teacher."

This is his sincerest thanks to Friedman.

It is also my most sincere thanks to Friedman for the help he gave me during my postgraduate career.

If it were not for the opportunity given by Friedman, then the time for the physics community to know Chen Zhou might have been delayed a lot.

This time may be one year or two years.

At that time, the title of the youngest Nobel Prize winner in physics in history might not belong to Chen Zhou either.

But then again, chance is one thing.

Whether he can seize the opportunity is another matter.

If there is no matching of their own strength, no matter how good the opportunity is, it will only be wasted.

Seeing Chen Zhou's sincere eyes, Friedman laughed softly and said, "You deserve it."

The plane flying from Japan to the United States finally landed at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago.

The next stop for Chen Zhou, Friedman and others is the famous Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

This is a laboratory named after the 1938 Nobel Prize winner in physics and Friedman's doctoral supervisor, Enrique Fermi.

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is located in Batavia, Illinois, USA.

The establishment of the laboratory was not too early, in 1967.

The main research areas are high energy physics and particle physics.

Like SLAC, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is officially affiliated with the U.S. Department of Energy.

It is then run by two institutions, the University of Chicago and the Universities Research Association URA.

URA is made up of 90 research universities.

Therefore, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has no shortage of researchers.

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is best known for its Tevatron proton/antiproton accelerator.

Tevatron was once the world's highest-energy collider, and is currently the second-highest energy collider in human history, capable of accelerating protons to nearly the speed of light.

However, compared with the LHC Large Hadron Collider, which is the world's number one at CERN, this second is still not enough.

The LHC's Large Hadron Collider is designed to produce seven times the energy recorded at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

In terms of honor and contribution, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory discovered the two main parts of the elementary particles and the Standard Model in June 1977 and February 6, respectively.

These are bottom quarks and top quarks.

Then, in July 2001, on the Tevatron, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory made the first direct observation of tau neutrinos, opening a new era of physics research.

Therefore, in terms of honors, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has much more honors than CERN.

After all, one represents the future and one represents the past.

Therefore, after the birth of the LHC Large Hadron Collider, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is also facing the same situation as SLAC.

They too face a very uncertain future.

The past does not represent the future, and the glory of the past also belongs to the past.

That's what happened to Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory's Tevatron before SLAC's collider laboratory closed.

Originally, the U.S. government planned to close the Tevatron of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory after the LHC Large Hadron Collider was opened.

Later, although it dragged on for a while, in September 2011, Tevatron still did not escape the fate of being shut down.

This is also the general trend of the times.

However, unlike SLAC's choice, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is conducting research on the design of the Large Hadron Collider in two phases.

The first stage is to use a strong superferrite magnet placed in a large-perimeter tunnel to make the energy of the collider reach 40TeV, and the brightness is the same as that of CERN's LHC Large Hadron Collider.

Work on the second phase then begins after the underlying scientific goals of the first phase have been fully achieved.

A high-field magnet is installed in the same tunnel, so that the collision energy of the collider can reach at least 175TeV.

It can be said that Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, even in the face of a pessimistic prospect, did not give up its goal.

Of course, all eggs have not been put in one basket.

In addition to the design research of the Large Hadron Collider, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory also has a muon collider and a pioneering accelerator test device.

Moreover, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is actively carrying out accelerator international cooperation projects.

Among them, it includes the LHC accelerator project and the research project of the future linear collider.

Academic exchanges at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory did not last too long.

I don't know if it's because of the influence of pessimism, or because I don't want to see the laboratory named after the teacher usher in a bad ending.

Friedman's academic exchange activities at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory were only arranged for 10 days.

In the first two days, we visited the collider laboratory, and in the last eight days, we held two academic seminars in a row.

Afterwards, Friedman took Chen Zhou and his party to the end of this academic exchange.

That is the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States.

At this time, there is only less than a week left before the long-awaited October.
