The super large particle collider project of the future technology company has always attracted the attention of the physics community. At this time, the news of the completion of the super large particle collider caused a sensation in the physics community. Many physicists said that they could not refuse the temptation of the super large particle collider. They contacted the future technology company and hoped to join the research team of the future technology company to solve the problem together There are a series of modern physics problems, such as the secret of GUS boson, the secret of antimatter, the secret of dark matter and dark energy.
The media also reported on the incident, but most of the ordinary people were confused, and the super large particle collider? Higgs boson? Why does an object have mass? Antimatter? Standard model? Dark matter and dark energy I can't understand it at all. Physics is really hard. I'd better wear a virtual helmet to enjoy the virtual world. Our tiger reincarnation team is going to have a league battle with the other five reincarnation teams in the world of the devil's version of "biography of two dragons in the Tang Dynasty"!
Zhang Wei and the physicists of futuristic technology company ignored the outside view completely. They came to the moon at the first time and prepared to start the experiment.
One and a half hours later, Zhang Wei arrived at the high energy physics research center on the moon from the earth. The door was empty, and there was not even a guard. However, the security measures were extremely strict. Everyone had to verify the brain waves before they could enter. If you want to break in illegally, the laser weapons installed in the hidden corner will start immediately and kill the intruder.
"Welcome to Dr. Zhang Wei!"
When Zhang Wei came to the door, a voice sounded. Then, the door of the research center opened automatically. When Zhang Wei entered, it closed immediately.
This research center, in fact, has nothing on the surface of the building, just an entrance, the real working place is 50 meters underground.
Zhang Wei goes to the front. There are 20 elevators leading to the underground. These elevators also need to verify the brain waves before they can be unlocked.
After walking out of the elevator, there is a hall with an area of more than 200 square meters, while the whole underground building covers an area of more than 100000 square meters. There are 70000 square meters in the experimental area and 30000 square meters in the living area. There are more than 1000 scientists working here.
"When can we start the experiment?"
Zhang Wei looks forward to meet Lu Zhilong, head of his research center for high energy physics, and asks.
"You can do the experiment at any time, doctor."
There is a little expectation on his face. In fact, all the scientists involved in the project hope that the super large particle collider can run as soon as possible.
"An hour later, the experiment began."
After Zhang weiphen finished, Lu Zhilong immediately began to arrange work, and the scene was busy.
Zhang Wei came to the control center and took command. At this time, the virtual screens in the control center are displaying the state and parameters of the particle collider.
One of the key parameters is temperature, because superconducting magnets are used in the large particle collider. In order for the electromagnets to become superconductors and conduct current effectively, without resistance consumption or energy loss, they need to be cooled to ultra-low temperature. At present, the temperature of the particle collider is - 272.3 ℃, which is one of the coldest places on the earth, even more than outer space The temperature is even lower - the temperature in outer space is stable at about - 270.5 ℃. For this reason, the collider must be connected to a liquid helium shunt system, which is used to cool magnets, and other equipment.
Interestingly, when particles are accelerated close to the speed of light, and then collided, they produce the highest man-made temperature - about 10 trillion degrees Celsius.
Soon, an hour passed, and the preparations were all ready.
"The first experiment of the super large particle collider of the future technology company is officially started."
With Zhang Wei's order, six large-scale nuclear fusion power stations connected to the particle collider started immediately, providing tremendous energy for the particle collider.
"The magnetic field is started!"
"Release the proton beam!"
The two beams of protons propagate in the opposite direction through different accelerating tubes. They start to accelerate under the action of magnetic field, and finally accelerate to 0.999999 times the speed of light, and then collide.
As mentioned earlier, according to Einstein's special theory of relativity, the energy of an object is equal to its mass times the square of the speed of light <. Increasing the particle energy actually increases the mass of the particle. Therefore, when the proton is closer to the speed of light, the accelerator energy consumed to improve the kinetic energy of the particle will continue to increase. Now, the limit of this super large particle collider is to accelerate the proton to 0.999999 times the speed of light.
and when protons are accelerated to near the speed of light, there is not only a great deal of energy, but also a magical thing that happens - time slows down. Using this principle, a time machine may be made. Professor Stephen Hawking once pointed out that if there is a "human accelerator" with the same performance as the Large Hadron Collider in Europe, which can make the speed of passengers close to the speed of light, according to special relativity, people outside the machine will feel that it has been several years at the same time, but the passengers inside the accelerator will feel that it has only been a few days. When they finish their accelerated journey, they will be much younger than others. Of course, this is almost impossible, because if you want to accelerate a 100 kg object to 99.9% of the speed of light, you need to use 100 million joules of energy, which is too expensive!
……
Over time, the two beams of protons have completed the first acceleration, followed by the second and third The speed of each proton is faster and faster, reaching 0.9 times the speed of light, 0.999 times the speed of light The energy and mass of protons are increasing
At that time, the proton beam was extremely dangerous. In 1978, all the general physicists named Anatoli bugorski from the National High Energy Physics Research Institute of the former Soviet Union were "blasted" by the high energy proton beam emitted by the particle accelerator. At that time, he "saw light brighter than a thousand suns", but he did not feel pain.
Fortunately, he survived, but the high-energy proton beam had passed through his face, burned his bones, damaged the brain tissue under him, made him completely deaf in his left ear, paralyzed his left face, and often had seizures. Up to now, he is the first and only one in the world to be shot by a high-energy proton beam from a particle accelerator.
After one-stage and one-stage acceleration, the gap between the speed of two proton beams and the speed of light is narrowing. Finally, in the super proton synchrotron, the speed of light of this large particle collider is 0.999999 times.
"Collision is about to start!"
"Detector ready!"
"Quantum computer is ready!"
Then, two beams of protons propagating in the opposite direction collided head-on, causing a fierce collision! According to the prediction, there will be more than one billion collisions in one second!
Protons are smashed to pieces, releasing unimaginable energy. In a tiny space, they generate a high temperature 100000 times hotter than the sun's center, i.e. about 10 trillion degrees. At the same time, there is a small "Big Bang" and a tiny black hole. According to the existing physical theory, this is the moment when the universe formed nearly 14 billion years ago Cheng. However, the duration of all this is very short, less than one millionth of a second, which can not be observed by human eyes, and it must rely on detectors.
In order to sample and record the results of proton collisions up to 1 billion times per second, the future technology company has made a huge instrument to measure the accuracy of particles, which is nanometer, and also equipped with an advanced electronic trigger system for the super large particle collider, which measures the accuracy of the time taken by particles, which is about 6 billion one second. The trigger system can determine the position of particles with an accuracy of one billionth of a meter. This incredibly fast and precise response is the basis for ensuring that the particles recorded in a detector's continuous layer remain consistent. Without these technologies, accurate data can not be obtained, which will bring great difficulties to the research!
For these huge data, the future technology company has also prepared an 80 qubit quantum computer, as well as thousands of physicists. It can be seen that scientific research is extremely expensive. In addition to the future technology companies with more money and no place to spend, other countries or companies may not be willing to invest even if they have corresponding technologies!
After the detector transmits the collected data to the quantum computer, the scientists did not immediately start to study it, but at Zhang Wei's command, they carried out the second experiment, the third experiment
Every collision will produce huge data. If not for the excellent storage capacity of quantum computer, it must be full of data now.
After countless experiments, Zhang Wei ordered the experiment to stop. Then he and many scientists analyzed the experimental data. (to be continued. )
