Kerella was stunned.
The sudden question caught her off guard.
She snapped back to reality and quickly flipped to the fourth page of the thesis.
However, she couldn't find the problem. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and a hint of anger flashed across her face.
"I think I've written it very clearly. Is there a problem?"
When she said this, she stared at Lu Zhou. Her tone was obviously unhappy.
Lu Zhou repeated the question, "Your usage of the Yukawa potential energy function is very strange, I want you to explain this part."
"You're asking me why?" Kerella crossed her arms and said, "I don't think there's a good explanation for introducing the Yukawa potential energy function into the Lagrangian. If you don't even understand this level of stuff, I suggest you go read the quantum chromodynamics textbook before you listen to the report."
There was laughter in the audience.
There were friendly laughter, but there were also people who were laughing.
Of course, there were also people who weren't laughing. They were thinking seriously.
For example, Professor Lu Zhou, Yan Xinjue, and the people sitting in the front row …
And Professor Brunos, who sensed that something was wrong.
He flipped to the fourth page of the thesis and frowned. He began to seriously examine the problem.
Lu Zhou smiled, but his facial expression didn't change.
An academic exchange wasn't meant to embarrass anyone.
If it was right, it was right. If it was wrong, it was wrong.
Lu Zhou paused for a second and pointed out the problem he found.
"Like you said, introducing the Yukawa potential energy function into the Lagrangian is a basic operation. However, the Λ * value you calculated on page five, line 14, is 0.713. Based on this number, you determined that there are two resonance states between the 1 energy zone … "
Lu Zhou took a deep breath and looked at the draft on the A4 paper. He then organized his thoughts and spoke.
"Although our team didn't analyze this, I calculated the Λ * value based on your process. The Λ * value is 0.621. I'm guessing your mistake is on page five, line 11. You introduced the wrong formula for the D meson coupling constant. "
The hall was quiet for a while.
Then, whispers could be heard.
And …
He couldn't hide his astonishment.
He was not surprised by the tricky angle of the questioner's question, nor was he surprised by his sharp eyes. Instead, he was surprised by his calculation speed and sensitivity to numbers.
Whether it was discovering this problem or calculating the correct answer, it was not an easy task to complete these tasks in such a short period of time!
"Lu Zhou?"
Sitting in the corner of the venue, Luo Wenxuan's eyes widened as he looked at the back of the figure sitting in the front row.
What a coincidence!
He really didn't expect to meet this guy here.
But then again, when Lu Zhou was in Princeton, he seemed to have heard that Lu Zhou wanted to develop in the direction of mathematical physics. Lu Zhou even persuaded Lu Zhou to give up on this whimsical idea and continue on the path of number theory.
In the blink of an eye, the two were reunited at CERN, the holy temple of physics.
Fate was really an inexplicable thing.
"You know him?"
An old Jewish man with glasses sitting next to him asked casually.
"Alumnus," said Luo Wenxuan. He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, this is the best young speaker at the Princeton mathematics conference earlier this year. You were at a conference in California, so you missed him."
The old man raised his eyebrows with interest. After a while, he nodded and said, "No wonder Deligne has such a high opinion of him. He is indeed an interesting young man."
Whispers could be heard from below the stage.
Kerella was embarrassed.
She was asking Lu Zhou to go back to his textbook, but in less than a minute, she was slapped in the face.
However, she quickly adjusted herself.
"A small problem," said Kerella. She picked up a pen and quickly made a mark on the copy of the thesis. She then marked the number 0.621. She then cleared her throat and said, "Thank you for pointing out the mistake. We will submit the revised thesis later. This mistake will not affect the conclusion of the thesis. Any other questions? "
Yes, it was just a small mistake.
Everyone made mistakes. Correcting some small mistakes at the last minute was allowed by the rules.
But was the mistake really what she thought? Was it just a wrong number?
Lu Zhou smiled and said with a mischievous tone, "You're welcome. Remember to change the Dalitz map, especially the first energy zone. Don't be careless this time."
Kerella's expression, which had finally adjusted with great difficulty, suddenly stiffened, and she broke out in cold sweat.
WTF？？？
Change … Change the Dalitz diagram?!
The formula was easy to fix. As long as he knew where the problem was, he just had to change it. It was not a big problem.
But to change the diagram …
When she thought about the strange lines, she felt like she was about to collapse.
Kerella's eyes flashed as she looked at the professor sitting in the audience.
Brulos had a serious look on his face as he clenched his fists.
Careless …
Seeing that her professor did not give her any hints, Kerella gritted her teeth and slammed her hands on the podium. Even her breasts shook as she tried to argue, "That's not important. I can say with certainty that there's nothing wrong with the data in B1 region!"
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "No, this is important. Maybe there is an unprecedented particle between 1 and 2? Who knows? Everything is possible. Physics is a rigorous discipline. We all know that pentaquark particles exist. We have evidence and we are certain. If that's the case, why are we gathered here? "
The people in the venue began to discuss.
The LHCb acceptance staff sitting in the first row nodded with an expression of approval.
Yes, physics was a rigorous discipline.
Everyone knew that this experiment was most likely a correct test of the "standard model". However, people still gathered here from all over the world, waiting to witness this solemn and great moment.
What is this for?
Isn't it for the correct "conjecture"?
Kerella's face turned red as she bit her lower lip and stared at Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou suspected that if looks could kill, he would have been killed countless times. If that pen had been a pistol, she would have shot herself in anger.
Not only Kerella, but the Americans from Syracuse University also stared at Lu Zhou with a similar expression.
Therefore, he chose not to look at the presenter. Instead, he looked at the two acceptance staff from the LHCb in the first row of the venue.
The slightly older receptionist slowly stood up and concluded.
"His point is correct, we can't accept a report with obviously wrong data. Thank you for your work, but unfortunately, I must point out that your report has omissions and needs to be improved. "
"Very exciting report, we sincerely look forward to the next one, thank you."
The report was over.
The venue was filled with encouraging applause.
However, in Kerella's ears, the applause did not sound like it was for her.
This report did not pass. Even if they applied immediately, the next report would be in three days.
Although they made the first move and seized the initiative, they still lost the "race" in the end …
The applause stopped, and the sound of people leaving their seats was sparse.
In the ears of the researchers from the University of Syracuse, the voice was indescribably bleak.
The people in the venue got up and left one after another. Professor Lu Shenjian laughed and patted Lu Zhou's shoulder. He said, "Well done." He then leisurely walked toward Brunos.
Lu Zhou looked at Professor Lu's back and smiled.
He could tell that the old man was in a good mood.
