Three days after the University of Syracuse's report was sent back, Professor Lu Shenjian's report was held as scheduled.
The LHCb acceptance staff sat in the first row and quietly waited for the report to begin.
At the same time, the Syracuse University of Syracuse research team was also there. They sat in the corridor on the right side of the venue.
There was a laptop on the table. Kerella held the thesis in her hand as she stared at the podium.
When she saw the person who walked up to the podium, the corners of her mouth curled into a smile.
Very good.
She thought he was scared.
She didn't expect him to be so brave.
The PowerPoint presentation began.
Lu Zhou did not notice Kerella's gaze. He tested the microphone and began to speak.
It was also a thirty-minute presentation.
The last ten to fifteen minutes was the Q&A session.
After Lu Zhou reported his work for the past month, he looked at the audience in front of the podium.
"That's the basic situation, the B1 partition data is confirmed to be normal. The Dalitz diagram is on the PowerPoint. Are there any other questions?"
The audience was quiet.
No one asked any questions.
More accurately, some people wanted to ask questions, but they did not know what to say.
Lu Zhou looked at the University of Syracuse research team. He thought that they would stand up and give him a hard time, but he did not expect this to happen.
He could understand why they did not give him a hard time.
After all, this kind of inspection work didn't require any innovative methods. In fact, everyone knew the results. There must be no problems with the B1 partition data, and the pentaquark state must have been discovered …
Therefore, it was almost impossible to find any problems with the theory.
Even if they wanted to deliberately find problems, they could only nitpick from the data.
Yesterday, he spent a whole day with Yan Xinjue to check the past month's work from beginning to end. They confirmed that there were no problems.
If they did not find any problems, Lu Zhou did not believe that they could find any problems.
…
The audience quietly waited for five minutes, and no one raised their hand.
The LHCb acceptance staff walked on the podium and gave a brief summary of the report. They routinely thanked the researchers who participated in the report and announced that the report was accepted.
This paper would be included in the LHCb project archives as a research result.
As the lecture ended, the people in the venue began to leave one after another.
Only one person was still sitting there motionlessly.
"This is impossible …"
Kerella stared at the thesis in disbelief.
The Q&A session had already ended.
The LHCb had already announced that they had passed the inspection. The facts could not be changed.
But she couldn't believe that she couldn't find a single mistake.
"There must be something wrong, we just haven't found it yet …" Kerella clenched her teeth and stared at the data on the A4 paper. She used the computer to verify the data over and over again, trying to find loopholes.
However, the problem was far more difficult than she had imagined.
Not only did she not find a single flaw in the thesis, but deep down, she could not help but applaud the rigorous logic of her opponent's thesis …
It was purely a researcher's knee-jerk reaction.
This was because the other party's thesis was so rigorous that she couldn't find any flaws in it.
While she was still sitting there, trying to figure out what to do, a doctor from the same research team walked over.
"Forget it, Kerella, I understand how you feel, but … It's impossible to find a problem with his mathematics."
His name was Nelson, and he was also a PhD student of Professor Brunos. His research direction was in mathematical physics. He and Kerella did the calculations together.
Although Kerella knew that LHCb had already accepted the thesis, she was still unwilling to accept the fact that all her work over the past month was just a test of the other party's results.
She continued to flip through the thesis and asked without looking up, "Why?"
Nelson sighed and said, "Who do you think the intern is?"
Kerella said nonchalantly, "An Asian, so?"
Nelson shook his head and said, "No, I don't mean he's Asian … Lu Zhou, don't you think this name sounds familiar?"
"Does it sound familiar?" Kerella's pen stopped calculating on the A4 paper as she frowned.
"Well, it seems that you don't care about the mathematics world at all," said Nelson as he shrugged. He then said, "At the beginning of this year, he proved the twin prime conjecture. Many people said that the winner of this year's Cole Prize in Number Theory would be him. Not just the 2015 Cole Prize, but even the 2018 Fields Prize. With his current results, he can at least be nominated … So, your opponent is a candidate for the Fields Prize. Do you really think we have a chance of winning? "
If it was any other project, such as full spectrum analysis, or the collection of resonance data in the laboratory, he would definitely not take an intern seriously.
But this kind of data analysis …
Once that guy familiarized himself with the entire process and displayed his mathematical prowess, they had no chance of winning at all.
After all, even the monsters at Princeton gave him a thumbs up.
Nelson comforted Kerella when he saw that she didn't say a word.
"Cheer up, winning or losing isn't that important. You'll find out that there are a lot of geniuses in this world. Do you want to get a drink? "
"… I still can't accept this."
"You're crazy."
Nelson shook his head, turned around and walked away.
…
Hellfire bar.
Heavy metal music pounded on Lu Zhou's eardrums and the colorful lights made his eyes sore.
If Lu Zhou knew this place was this noisy, he would never have crossed the door to hell. This was because he could clearly feel that not only had his fatigue not been alleviated, it had even worsened.
But since he was already here, he could not just turn around and leave.
After all, he promised to buy Luo Wenxuan a drink.
As a thank you for what happened last time.
"A Gibson, one for him too, thank you."
Luo Wenxuan skillfully ordered the bartender behind the bar and continued to chat with Lu Zhou.
Unlike Lu Zhou, Luo Wenxuan only came here about half a month ago. However, because the boss often came here, he had been here many times before, so he was quite familiar with everything here.
"… CERN is like a university. It basically has everything that a university should have, and everything that it doesn't have, it will more or less have it here."
Lu Zhou looked at the bartender behind the bar and asked, "For example?"
Luo Wenxuan smiled and said, "Like clubs. There are even two famous local bands here. But the last few times I came here, I missed their performances. But this time, I won't miss it. "
"Why?"
"Because on the night of the experiment, they'll definitely hold a concert."
While they were talking, two clear glasses of Gibson were placed on the table.
Lu Zhou looked at the colorless and transparent wine with small bubbles. He reached out and picked up the glass and looked at it suspiciously.
Liquor?
He brought the glass to his lips and took a sip.
Then …
He almost choked to death.
"Cough cough!"
Lu Zhou coughed violently and put the glass on the table.
