Lu Zhou knew that this was not an easy job. He finally understood why the Internet was born here.
Jin Ling University only had three researchers. Two theoretical physicists, Professor Lu Xinjue and Yan Xinjue, plus Lu Zhou, the intern. This lineup was quite strong. However, even with such a lineup, they were only responsible for the data in Division B1.
Not only did they analyze the data, but the major laboratories around the world also contributed.
If there was no Internet, everyone would have to sit together and discuss, and then communicate with the laboratory that was thousands of miles away on the phone. This research would not be able to continue.
For example, if they wanted to make a constant mass spectrum, they would use the amplitude analysis method. The analysis process involved two Breit-Wigner amplitudes, which was a lot of work. If there was no platform for timely communication, a lot of time would be spent on communication.
However, Tim Berners-Lee, who may have created the Internet, did not expect that the communication tool he designed for the European Institute of Particle Physics was not carried forward in the academic exchange of physicists, but it was used by people to brag …
Professor Lu Xinjue's meeting was very efficient. The meeting ended in ten minutes, and the work was quickly assigned to everyone.
Lu Zhou was responsible for the calculation part. In other words, he was responsible for processing the data given to him by Professor Lu Xinjue.
Although Lu Zhou had considerable achievements in functional analysis, group theory, and other fields, he was still new to theoretical physics.
Fortunately, Yan Xinjue's help made up for his lack of theoretical knowledge. Relying on Yan Xinjue's work experience in the BESlll cooperation organization, this work was barely able to continue.
The third day after the work began.
In the conference room on the sixth floor of the hotel, Lu Zhou was like an old monk in meditation. He was staring at a whiteboard.
The conference room next to him was the office of the Shuimu University research team. He could even hear the fierce debate through the thin wall.
However, none of this had anything to do with him.
He tried to ignore the physics problems and treat it as a pure mathematics problem.
However …
This was not an easy task.
]
[From = ip ^ μ · FΠ ^ (ab) e ^ (-ipx), the resonance energy of Λ * can be calculated as …]
The densely packed letters and numbers were mixed together like a ball of tangled wool.
He stared at the whiteboard for a long time.
Suddenly, Lu Zhou, who was facing the whiteboard, seemed to have an epiphany. He suddenly said, "There are two resonance states nearby?"
Brother Yan was stunned. He looked at the draft paper on the table and then at the blackboard. "How did you figure it out?"
"Line 27, add a Fermi subfield to the Lagrangian, import the Yukawa potential function …" Lu Zhou stared at the blackboard as he muttered to himself.
Following Lu Zhou's line of sight, Senior Yan stared at the whiteboard and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he finally spoke.
"Your thinking is very jumpy, but … it should be correct. Did you participate in the IMO Mathematics Competition? "
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "No, I went to the University of Jin Ling …"
Yan Xinjue said, "Unbelievable, you should go get a gold medal."
"It's too late, I'll leave the opportunity to others."
Lu Zhou took a deep breath and pinched his sore eyebrows.
It was not a sudden inspiration, nor was it a real epiphany.
This kind of theoretical physics problem was different from number theory problems. The former relied on calculations and abstract thinking, while the latter relied on inspiration.
Just now, he had used a plug-in and used up 100 points to sort out the data.
However, using these general points did not come without side effects. The huge amount of knowledge was written into his brain. The load was no less than playing a 3A single-player game on an A card. The constant influx of information made Lu Zhou feel like there were a thousand ants crawling on his head.
However, it was all worth it.
After the system instilled the knowledge into his brain, not only did it give him an answer, but it also wrote the process of processing the data into his memory.
For a bad student, this process was no different from waste paper. Just the result was enough. However, for someone like him who had some understanding of quantum chromodynamics, he could easily digest this knowledge and make it his own.
Five minutes ago, he was clueless about these numbers and letters. Now, he knew how to use his mathematical knowledge to solve these problems …
Seeing that Lu Zhou had found his way and was in the zone, Yan Xinjue did not bother with him anymore. Instead, he began to focus on his own work.
With this kind of tacit cooperation, Lu Zhou finally finished processing the massive amount of data.
However, this was not enough. He had to complete the last step of drawing and feed all of the data into a diagram.
This diagram was called the Dalitz diagram.
Every line in the picture represented a tuft of hair belonging to a physicist …
As Lu Zhou stared at the computer screen, he held a pen and calculated on a draft paper while he typed on the keyboard.
He looked at the oscillating diagram and suddenly spoke.
"I suddenly know why most Princeton graduates end up on Wall Street."
Yan Xinjue, who was also processing the data, yawned and asked casually.
"Why?"
"Don't you think this is like a K-line for stocks?"
"… You're right." Yan Xinjue was speechless.
Lu Zhou sighed and said, "I feel like once I understand this, I'll be able to report to the Communist Party of China."
"No, if you can completely understand this, you won't be far from the Nobel Prize."
"Maybe."
Of course, Lu Zhou was only joking about reporting to Wall Street.
He still had some dreams in life.
Even though theoretical physics could not give him a Wall Street salary, it could give him things that Wall Street could not.
For example, system experience points.
Once he unlocked all the powerful technologies one by one, Wall Street wouldn't be a big deal to him. Sooner or later, Lu Zhou would have to kneel at his feet and sing "conquer".
While Lu Zhou was fantasizing, he suddenly felt that this boring time was not so unbearable anymore.
Finally, on the last day of May, Lu Zhou completed the final "Dalitz diagram".
There was only one week left until the report date set by the person in charge of the LHCb organization. After overcoming the biggest obstacle, he had enough time to complete the final step of image analysis and check the correctness of the data.
Lu Zhou closed his notebook and stretched. He was thinking about what to eat later. Yan Xinjue just came back from dinner. He had a serious look on his face.
Just as Lu Zhou was about to ask what happened, Yan Xinjue walked to his desk and sat down. He then spoke with a serious face.
He then said in a serious tone, "I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Lu Zhou: "What's the good news?"
Yan Xinjue: "The University of Syracuse has finished analyzing the B1 data."
That fast?
Lu Zhou was surprised by the speed of his competitors, so he asked, "What's the bad news?"
Yan Xinjue: "The bad news is that they finished before us."
Lu Zhou: "…"
