Chapter 57 57【Sensation around the world】
On the fourth day after returning to the United States from Geneva, Xiang Nan took the lead in publishing the paper "Charged Higgs Bosons in the Single Top Production of the Large Hadron Collider".
Suddenly, a stone stirred up waves.
Whether Xizi exists has always been an unsolved mystery of physics.
Now, Xiang Nan points out that Xizi really exists by analyzing the experimental data given by CERN.
This news is no less than earth-shattering.
For a while, everyone rushed to visit the preprint website and rushed to download Xiang Nan's paper.
I want to see, on what basis did he conclude that Xizi really exists, and was observed by the research center.
Because there were too many visitors, the preprint website went down for a while.
This is also a rare thing.
And when people read Xiang Nan's paper, they have to admire his insight.
He actually found evidence of Xizi's existence in the vast amount of data.
This is really amazing.
You must know that the data generated by the ALICE experiment is as large as 12T. Finding Xizi from such a huge amount of data is no less difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.
However, Xiang Nan was able to find Xizi's trace within four days, which is really amazing.
…
Subsequently, Xiang Nan's paper was accepted by the industry's top journal "Journal of High Energy Physics".
Moreover, soon, outside media received the news and reported it immediately.
"The luckiest person in history, first discovered a habitable planet, and then discovered the God particle! The probability of winning the lottery is 100,000 times smaller."
Media reports focus on entertainment. In view of Xiang Nan's discovery of habitable planets and God particles successively, they are all extremely low-probability events, which are quite legendary.
So they all focused their reports on Xiang Nan and gave him all the credit for discovering the God Particle. On the contrary, CERN, which actually discovered the God particle, only mentioned it in the report, and it became a complete match.
Because of this, Xiang Nan monopolized the scenery, became famous for a while, and became the hottest academic star.
This also satisfied the top management of Caltech. Dr. Gablehouse and President Seibert have praised him many times, and the University Award has already appointed him as the winner.
What is even more proud is that the school will strongly recommend him to compete for the MacArthur Genius Award.
MacArthur Genius Award is one of the highest interdisciplinary awards in the United States. It was founded in 1981 and named after John D. MacArthur, the founder of the Bank Life Disaster Company (not the five-star general MacArthur in the United States.)
The MacArthur Genius Award aims to recognize creative talents who play an important role in social development. Every year, 20 to 25 outstanding people in various fields are selected, and each person is provided with a total of 500,000 US dollars in bonuses, so that they can be more free continue to explore.
Because of Xiang Nan's outstanding contributions in the fields of astrophysics and particle physics, he has surpassed his peers and led the group, so he has an advantage in competing for the MacArthur Genius Award.
…
It is good news for Xiang Nan to compete for the MacArthur Genius Award.
On the one hand, the gold content of this award is very high. The previous award winners are all leaders in various fields and have made outstanding contributions in their respective fields. Therefore, being able to receive this award also represents the affirmation of his contribution.
Although Xiang Nan currently earns enough money to spend, no one thinks he has too much money. Love is based on material things, and after he has money, it will be more convenient for him to pick up girls.
Therefore, in order to increase his own competitive advantage and to further reap the fruits of victory, Xiang Nan made persistent efforts and successively released "The Higgs Bosons of LEP and LHC are 98 and 125 GeV respectively", "On the Large Hadron Collider Observation of Z Decay to Four Leptons with CMS Detector" continued to make a sensation in the academic circle.
…
"Raj, you are on full fire now!" Howard enviously said to Xiang Nan while eating in the restaurant.
In less than half a month, three heavyweight papers. Such a high output is really amazing.
You know, even a top scholar like Shelton, publishing three papers in one year is already quite remarkable.
Peggy also looked at Xiang Nan with burning eyes.
While other experts were still clueless in the face of massive data, Xiang Nan had already published three heavyweight papers and successfully found Xizi's trace.
This superhuman IQ and luck against the sky are really amazing.
"This ALICE experiment really gave me a lot of inspiration." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.
In the next one or two months, he will publish about ten more papers, picking up all the fruits of this ALICE experiment.
"If only I had accompanied you." Howard said regretfully again.
Compared to Xiang Nan, who has full firepower, has achieved frequent results, and gained both fame and fortune. He has basically achieved nothing in the past half month, and it is completely wasted.
"Don't be sad." Seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly comforted, "Our project is about to start. At that time, you can also gain fame and fortune."
"Yeah." Howard nodded, becoming excited again.
After they prepared to celebrate the new year, they started the development of the prototype of the quantum navigation system.
At that time, once the development is successful, they can apply for a patent and cooperate with external companies.
Quantum navigation systems are widely used in the civilian field, and they can earn a lot of money from the licensing fee alone.
"What project are you talking about?" Peggy asked curiously upon seeing this.
"Quantum guide..." Howard spoke quickly, and when Peggy asked, he immediately showed off.
When Xiang Nan saw him, he covered his mouth, then turned his head and smiled at Peggy, "Temporary secret, I will tell you when I have a chance in the future."
Peggy blinked, "Okay then."
Xiang Nan then glared at Howard.
The quantum navigation system is no small matter. This is the most advanced technology in the world. It is widely used in military and civilian fields. It is invaluable and of great significance. How can it be disclosed to outsiders.
Howard also knew that he almost made a mistake, so he immediately looked embarrassed.
"By the way, Leonard and Penny seem to have broken up again." He changed his embarrassment by finding another topic.
"No surprise." Xiang Nan smiled when he heard it.
Penny hasn't settled down yet, she's very playful. And Leonard is an otaku, and from the eyes of ordinary people, he is a very boring person.
So they can't play together at all now, and even if they are barely together, they will soon separate.
However, people will always mature. Penny will return to the family sooner or later, and her best candidate is basically Leonard.
