Great Country Academician

Chapter 165 Expanding Huaguo's Influence in CERN

Xu Chuan did not jump to conclusions about Mo Kun using the results of his discussion with Professor Artur Avila.

After all, the other party may have already communicated with Professor Avila and obtained Professor Avila's permission. Although he did not tell him, this is indeed possible.

He may have been overlooked.

Compared with Artur Avila, a top mathematician who has won the Fields Medal, he is far behind in terms of age, achievements, qualifications, and status.

The other party probably ignored him, an eighteen-year-old young scholar.

As unpleasant as this is, it is indeed possible from the perspective of national conditions.

And to be honest, even if the other party directly used their academic achievements without the consent of him and Professor Avila, this matter is not uncommon in the academic world.

Having been doing research in academia for so many years, Xu Chuan has seen many similar things.

Journal editors reject manuscripts and then plagiarize and publish them themselves; tutors occupy students' student achievements and squeeze students; he has seen many things like academic fraud.

Not only has he seen it, he has experienced it himself.

In his previous life, when he was studying physics with Edward Witten at Princeton, he made a small physics achievement about gravity during his doctoral period and submitted it to a journal called "Classical Gravity and Quantum Gravity".

But it was rejected by the other party during the review.

At that time, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, it is normal for a submitted paper to be rejected. Even if it is a Nobel Prize-winning master, the paper will sometimes be rejected.

But not long after that, Xu Chuan unexpectedly discovered that his paper was simply revised and then registered in this journal.

The author of the paper is a review editor of this journal.

This naturally aroused his anger, and he found the journal where he submitted the manuscript to complain and ask for an explanation.

But it didn't have much effect at first, after all, he was just an ordinary doctoral student.

It is not uncommon for journal review editors to steal contributors' papers and theories in academia, and it can even be said to happen every year.

Although the journal of "Classical Gravity and Quantum Gravity" replied that he was investigating after receiving his complaint, but nothing happened afterwards, even his stolen paper was not withdrawn, and it was still hanging on it .

Later, Xu Chuan found his mentor Wei Teng, and with the help of Princeton University, he successfully rejected the journal and apologized.

Not every journal and every reviewing editor can stick to professional ethics. The top journals are better in this regard, but similar things happen occasionally.

What's more, "Classical Gravity and Quantum Gravity" is not a top TOP journal. Although it meets the threshold of SCI, the impact factor in SCI is only at the level of the third and fourth districts.

This kind of journal is far less important to its own reputation than the top journals.

When this kind of thing happened, their first reaction was not to strictly investigate the review editors under their own banner, but to find a way to cover the quilt and calm things down.

Xu Chuan has experienced many similar things, and has heard of many. So things like academic plagiarism can no longer arouse too much emotion for him.

Scum can be found everywhere, not just in academia.

But it is everyone's duty to clean up the scum.

If it is determined that this professor named Mo Kun plagiarized and used their results without the consent of him and Professor Artur Avila, then Xu Chuan will try his best to deal with this matter.

Plagiarism is a very bad thing for academia, because many people think that they can plagiarize other people's achievements to gain fame and fortune without their own research and discovery, and some people will follow suit.

And if this kind of thing is not resolved, what will scholars from other countries think?

Not only will many people mistakenly believe that the academic circles in Huaguo were created by plagiarism, but it will also have a very bad influence on later scholars, and many people will think of taking a shortcut.

Unless both he and Professor Avila directly acquiesce in this matter, they will not pursue it.

But this is obviously impossible, aside from Professor Avila, Xu Chuan is not such a character.

Others have directly stolen his academic achievements, and want him not to pursue it, which is not the case in a dream.

After reading Professor Mo Kun's thesis, Xu Chuan picked up his phone and sent Hu Xingjian a message.

"Thank you, received."

This brother Hu can take the initiative to call him to inform him of this matter, he has to remember this friendship.

After writing an email and sending it to Professor Arthur Avila, Xu Chuan got up again and went downstairs to eat.

It has to be said that his mood must have been affected when this happened.

The good mood brought about by the optimal search for the decay channel of Higgs and the third-generation heavy quark Yuchuan, which was calculated before, will almost dissipate.

Even though I know that this kind of thing is inevitable in the academic world, and even though I have experienced many things in my previous life, if this kind of thing happens to me, everyone will feel bad.

Professor Avila hasn't responded to his email yet, but Xu Chuan knows in his heart that this is most likely a case of plagiarism.

Because he knew that even if that Professor Mo ignored him, Professor Avila would not ignore him.

As a Fields Medal winner, he still has some integrity.

In the restaurant, Xu Chuan casually ordered some food, and as soon as he sat down, the phone rang again.

It was his mentor Chen Zhengping who called.

When the phone was connected, Chen Zhengping's excited voice came over: "Have you calculated the most ideal search decay channel for the coupling between Higgs and Tang Chuan of the third-generation heavy quark?"

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "If there are no accidents, it should be."

"Where are you now?"

Xu Chuan looked up at the restaurant and replied, "We'll eat at a restaurant called 'Vasari Italian Restaurant' across the road from the hotel where we live."

"Okay, you wait there, I'll be right there."

On the other end of the phone, Chen Zhengping hung up the phone hastily after saying something.

He arrived faster than Xu Chuan expected, and the mentor arrived before the meal was finished.

"Have you applied for a seminar at CERN?"

When Chen Zhengping rushed to the restaurant, the first thing he said was to ask Xu Chuan if he had applied for a CERN report meeting.

Xu Chuan stopped the knife and fork in his hand, shook his head and said, "Not yet, but I have already sent emails to Professor Witten and Professor Gross, and the report meeting should be fine."

"This experiment, can we cooperate with domestic research teams?"

Hearing this, Chen Zhengping asked eagerly: "Currently people from Nantah University, China University of Science and Technology and Jiaotong University are still here, and can cooperate with you to complete the data analysis work."

The teams that can enter CERN can be said to be the top teams in China.

For example, at Nantah University, Chen Zhengping, an academician of the Academy of Sciences, led the team. There were three Ph.

Such a lineup can be said to be quite luxurious.

The Chinese University of Science and Technology and Jiaotong University don't need much.

These two universities are currently one of the pillars of the domestic physics community, and more people come than Nantah University. The leaders are all academicians of the Academy of Sciences, and the students who follow are all students who started with a Ph.D. The Jiaotong University even arranged Three full professors of the Academy of Sciences were appointed.

Such a luxurious team, for nothing else, just want to make more achievements.

Not only the honor of individuals and universities, but also to allow Huaguo to have more say in CERN, and to join CERN and become a member of CERN.

That's right, as of 2016 this year, Huaguo is still not a member of CERN.

Without this status, the scientific research work and development of the research scholars in Huaguo at CERN have always been affected.

First of all, if Huaguo lingers outside CERN's door for a long time, it is not in line with Huaguo's current and future international status, and it will be difficult to make full use of the various technologies born at CERN.

Secondly, without the status of a member state, it is impossible to apply for the authorization of scientific and technological achievements of CERN.

Don't simply think that CERN is just a physics research institution.

The scientific and technological achievements of the Large Intense Particle Collider are not just about physics.

CERN has applied a large number of research results in the fields of medicine and biomedicine, aerospace, security, industry 4.0, cultural heritage, energy technology and so on. These application fields involve all aspects of the main technologies and are widely used.

Such as beam instruments and systems, superconducting magnet technology, ultra-low temperature cooling technology, ultra-high vacuum technology, industrial control, magnet technology, particle tracking and calorimetry, radiation protection and monitoring, radio frequency and sensors, superconducting technology, etc.

Every year, the knowledge transfer organization organizes and holds various academic conferences, lectures, exhibitions and other activities around CERN's relevant research and technology application fields, and announces the latest research and development trends, scientific research progress and transformable technical achievements.

This makes CERN a source of global innovation and creativity, continuously providing new ideas for innovative applications of various knowledge and technologies.

According to CERN's relevant regulations, top-level projects such as authorized use of scientific and technological achievements and high-tech talent training cooperation programs are only open to member countries, and engineers and technicians from non-member countries have no right to participate.

If you want to obtain the latest technology and cultivate first-class engineering and technical personnel through CERN, you have no choice but to become its member.

Although some domestic scientific research institutions have established some cooperative relations with CERN, the participating topics are limited to basic research in particle physics. In terms of high-tech cooperation, it is almost impossible to participate without the status of a member state.

The country has been working hard in this direction, but the results are not very high.

Xu Chuan's calculation of the most ideal search decay channel for the coupling of Higgs and Yu Chuan of the third-generation heavy quark brought this opportunity.

If we can use this opportunity to successfully find the Tangchuan coupling phenomenon between the Higgs and the third-generation heavy quark, there is no doubt that Huaguo will take more initiative in the follow-up research on the Higgs particle at the LHC .

For example, the subsequent Yukawa coupling experiment between Higgs and the second-generation light quark.

There are only so many resources in the LHC, Huaguo can make more achievements if he eats more, and it is not impossible to even give birth to a Nobel Prize.

There are many Nobel Prizes issued by CERN, and high-energy physics and particle physics have always been the core of the physics world.

More importantly, if this opportunity can be used to promote Huaguo to become a member of CERN, the value will be even greater.

Hearing this, Xu Chuan was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Will it not delay your work?"

He originally planned to temporarily pull a team from CERN just like solving the 'Proton Radius Mystery' before.

After all, top university teams such as Nanjing University, China University of Science and Technology, and Jiaotong University all have their own research tasks.

The top scientific research teams basically don't let their time be vacant; they have more scientific research funds, but they also undertake more missions.

Chen Zhengping shook his head with a smile, and said: "How can this be called a delay, no one else has the opportunity to ask for it."

"If your calculation is correct, this will be a turning point for CERN. Maybe CERN will focus more on the calculation of the search energy level in the future. After all, this can save CERN millions or even tens of millions of meters of gold. Collision funds.”

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "Then I will trouble you, Teacher."

Now that Chen Zhengping took the initiative to find him, Xu Chuan did not hesitate. After all, he really needs a team to help him complete the data analysis.

He is confident enough in his data calculations, and more importantly, he knows the data when CERN discovered the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between Higgs and the third-generation heavy quark in 2018.

There is not much difference between the collision energy level and decay data and the data he calculated.

This means that if the collision experiment is done according to his calculated data, the Yukawa coupling phenomenon between the Higgs and the third-generation heavy quark will definitely be discovered.

Domestic colleges and universities are willing to participate, and he naturally welcomes it, after all, the rich and the water don't flow into the fields of outsiders.

Hearing this, Chen Zhengping smiled and said, "Then I will thank you for the others first."

This experiment, regardless of whether the Higgs and the third-generation heavy quark Yuchuan coupling phenomenon can be discovered, is an opportunity for the three universities.

After all, it is quite difficult to apply to CERN for an independent LHC collision experiment.

The potential value of the data generated by each independent collision experiment is huge.

Because no one knows whether there is a particle hidden in these data that the Standard Model cannot predict.

What's more, if it is confirmed that the data calculated by Xu Chuan is accurate, it will provide a huge boost for Huaguo to join CERN and become a member state.

After all, if he can do it once, maybe he can do it a second time.

Although each collision experiment is different, as long as it succeeds once, it may save millions or even tens of millions of meters of gold.

Such a temptation is huge for CERN.
