Into Unscientific

Geneva, where CERN is located, is considered the hinterland of Europe, and it is extremely convenient to travel.

Therefore, in addition to Lucas, the representatives who came today included many well-known figures from other institutions—at least for the neon show, the content of "guys" was much higher.

So be aware of that.

Naturally, Lucas is not alone.

soon.

There were many physicists from other institutions or universities at the scene, all showing expressions of amazement.

The standard right-handed neutrino.

No wonder CERN dared to make such a big battle.

Looking at the surprised eyes of a group of experts in the audience, Carlo Rubia showed a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

Then he continued:

"As you can see, we are using the Nucleon Decay method to observe an unconventional neutrino in the decay process of a neutron."

"In addition to the high mass to an unconventional level, the spin direction and motion direction of this neutrino are also antiparallel."

"And its electroweak energy scale is proportional to the decoupling energy scale with a magnification of 11.4514."

"So I can proudly announce that today, February 1, 2023, we have officially discovered the right-hand neutrino!"

clap clap -

There was a burst of applause from the audience.

These applause is not just polite, but also contains a lot of sincere admiration and joy.

The data reported by Carlo Rubia back and forth are sufficient to prove the authenticity of the right-hand neutrino.

Don't say anything else.

Just the research between right-handed neutrinos and symmetry breaking is enough to open up a new path for particle physics.

Although there are many new roads ahead of particle physics, there are also many people who pioneered them.

There is now a new path.

How much funding can be declared. Cough, how many papers can be produced.

Not to mention there is a more important point.

That is.

Is the right-handed neutrino really an inert neutrino?

After the applause stopped.

Carlo Rubia took another sip of Laoshan White Flower Snake Grass Water and continued:

"Of course, everyone may be more concerned about one thing than the discovery of the right-hand neutrino."

"So is it really a sterile neutrino?"

"Answer."

Carlo Rubbia paused, before saying again:

"Not quite."

between talking.

The screen behind Carlo Rubia changed again.

At the same time, Carlo Rubia changed the manuscript paper and continued to introduce:

"According to our research on this right-handed neutrino, due to the diagonalization of the mass matrix, it only lacks a unitary transformation from the flavor eigenstate to the mass eigenstate."

"Its properties are more similar to the CKM matrix of quarks. When it is inserted into the existing model as an active neutrino, it will satisfy that the sum of the squared differences of the masses is equal to 0."

I heard this.

There was a sigh of regret from the audience.

So is Lucas.

Mentioned earlier.

Inert neutrinos are not equal to right-handed neutrinos.

Otherwise, CERN would not have mentioned the discovery of the right-handed neutrino before, but just said it had discovered the inert neutrino.

Inert neutrinos may be right-handed neutrinos in structure, or they may be undiscovered left-handed neutrinos-there are three kinds of left-handed neutrinos discovered so far:

The electron neutrino νe, the muon neutrino νμ, and the pottery neutrino.

So when Baobuqi will discover another left-handed neutrino, although the probability is not high from the perspective of the basic model, at least the probability is not 0.

In fact.

There is one and only one concept directly linked with the right-hand neutrino, which is the neutrino oscillation mentioned before.

That is to say, the neutrino oscillation is observed → therefore the neutrino has mass → so the neutrino has the recursive logic of chirality.

It's just that the physics community has never discovered the right-handed neutrino, so it will be associated with the inert neutrino.

It's like a reader guessing that a certain writer can make 50,000 new neutrinos a day (inert neutrinos), and after discussing, he thinks that locking him in a small dark room can achieve this (right-handed neutrinos).

But this is only a possibility, and the two are actually not very related.

The reader finally kidnapped the writer, and after closing the small black room, he found that he could only change 20,000 a day.

So the small black room (right-handed neutrinos) is not the correct way to update 50,000 (inert neutrinos) every day.

That is to say, the right-handed neutrino is not an inert neutrino, and there are other possibilities for the inert neutrino.

For example, hang the author up to fight or something.

alright.

This is the end of the metaphor, please do not substitute a real writer.

all in all.

A sterile neutrino has only one core property.

It's literally what it says.

inertia.

That is lazy.

How lazy is it?

So lazy that nothing but gravitational interactions will happen.

Even lazy neutrinos are much slower than ordinary neutrinos—ordinary neutrinos approach the speed of light.

The only property that the sterile neutrino has is the relativistic effect.

Abandoning other shackles, so I can change 50,000 a day, lol.

The right-handed neutrino discovered by CERN will satisfy the state that the sum of squared differences of mass is equal to 0 only when it is inserted into the existing model as an active neutrino.

then there is no doubt

It must not be a sterile neutrino.

But when you think about it, it makes sense.

If this right-handed neutrino is really an inert neutrino, then what this press conference will discuss is whether this neutrino is cold dark matter.

if so

It is absolutely impossible for Lars to say something close to 50/50 with Neon.

Figured this out.

Lucas sighed involuntarily.

When will the physics community really discover dark matter?

After all, compared with others, the two achievements that caused Lucas to lose the Nobel Prize are all related to dark matter.

Needless to say neutrino oscillation.

It proves that neutrinos have mass, and denies the possibility that neutrinos are dark matter at present.

And gravitational waves.

Although there is no academic intersection with dark matter.

But before 2016, these two concepts belonged to one of the unsolved substances in cosmology, and they were regarded as difficult brothers.

Now the elder brother Gravity Wave has found a girlfriend, but the stinky younger brother Dark Matter is still single.

Do you think Lucas's mood is not subtle?

However, Carlo Rubia on the stage did not know what Lucas was thinking, and he was still making a report at this time:

"Although the right-handed neutrino is not a real inert neutrino, it still retains some theoretical possibilities for us."

"For example, everyone knows that the left-handed field of neutrinos is a weak isospin left-handed doublet component, so it will participate in weak interactions."

"The right-handed field of the sterile neutrino has no corresponding doublet state to couple, so it does not participate in the weak interaction."

"As for the right-handed neutrino, in the case of TNCG, it also exhibits the characteristic of not participating in the weak interaction."

Said here.

Carlo Rubia opened his hands to both sides, looking at everyone like a 260-jin spherical angel:

"So everyone, from a qualitative analysis, I insist that our direction is correct."

"Just like the three classifications of conventional neutrinos, perhaps in an unknown corner, there are other undiscovered right-handed neutrinos."

"Here today, I solemnly put forward a guess, that is, perhaps the right-hand neutrino is actually the medium connecting "bright matter" and "dark matter"."

"As long as we go down this road, maybe within ten years, we will be able to find the real dark matter!"

Carlo Rubia's words are very firm, because he really thinks so.

After all, the data he said today has not been processed in any way, and it is all true.

That is to say, the right-handed neutrino does show certain dark matter characteristics in the case of TNCG.

Although the manufacturing cost of this condition is as high as half a million dollars each time, and the duration is less than three seconds, it is indeed in one direction.

If nothing else.

Within ten years, a substantial breakthrough should be possible.

It's just that Carlo Rubbia isn't sure

Can I live to that time?

Now he is 88 years old. Although he is still healthy, no one in this age group can tell what is going on.

For example, Carlo Rubbia himself knew quite a few people. He was fine the year before, but he aged a lot in the next year.

There are even some people who said to go fishing by the Thames in the first half of the year, and went to the Wangchuan River to throw a pole in the second half of the year.

Therefore, Carlo Rubia firmly believes that dark matter will eventually be discovered within ten years, but he is not sure whether he can see it.

After introducing the relevant information of the right-hand neutrino.

Same as Kamioka press conference.

CERN entered the media questioning session.

However, compared to the Kamioka press conference, Carlo Rubia, who is much higher than Suzuki Atsuto in terms of character and status, has not been deliberately targeted.

The first question was a female reporter from Physical Review Letters.

However, as the saying goes, a woman does not give in to a man, and this reporter was very professional in physics issues when he opened his mouth, and his fluency was not inferior to those experts in the industry:

"Professor Carlo, since you mentioned the condition of TNCG, it means that you follow the principle of naturalness."

"But you should know that at least two of the mixing angles of the three generations of leptons are large, so that small amounts of dissonance are connected to symmetry breaking.

"Is it too optimistic?"

Carlo Rubia gave the other party a thumbs up, indicating that this is a good question, and explained with a smile:

"Good question, lady, you should know that mass items must be off-diagonal, right?"

The female reporter thought for a moment, then nodded:

"That's right."

Carlo Rubia snapped his fingers happily, and continued:

"So in the whole process, the total lepton number L is still conserved, so the off-diagonal matrix element is obviously a destructive behavior."

"If the non-zero CP phase angle fitted by recent experiments is ignored, the quadrant where the CP angle is located determines the overall direction of neutrinos—this characteristic is also observed by left-handed or right-handed neutrinos."

"In this case, these dissonant epsilons are clearly related to CP symmetry."

"Because in the standard model we can eliminate all relative decay "speeds", but only the CP angle is an absolute direction, you know what I mean?"

The female reporter thought for a little longer this time, but finally nodded:

"I see, thank you, Professor Carlo."

Then Carlo Rubia accepted questions from several other journalists or colleagues, all of which were successfully completed.

Then soon.

The microphone was passed to the last reporter.

This reporter was a tall man with a bald head. When he stood up, he felt that the whole room was much brighter.

The bald man held the microphone, looked at the recorder in his hand, and asked Carlo Rubia:

"Professor Carlo Rubia, since you think that dark matter may be discovered within ten years, which institution do you think is most likely to make a breakthrough first? Is it CERN?"

Carlo Rubia was slightly taken aback, this question was a bit beyond his expectation:

"Mr. Reporter, to be honest, although I really want to answer that it will be CERN who discovered dark matter."

"But there is nothing in the world that will definitely develop according to people's wishes, especially things that have not been discovered."

"So I can only answer you with a general range, either Europe or America, that's all."

"Europe or America?"

The bald man repeated the two areas and asked again:

"And what about Asia?"

"."

Carlo Rubia raised his eyelids and glanced at him, shook his head and said:

"At least in my opinion, there is almost no possibility of a breakthrough in dark matter in Asia. Although a certain country has achieved remarkable results in neutrinos, it is dark matter."

Talking and talking.

Carlo Rubia suddenly had an inexplicable emotion in his heart. The sentimentality he felt about whether he could live until the discovery of dark matter was amplified a lot, as if something had been replaced:

"Let's put it this way, if Asians can discover dark matter, I'll go and eat the ax on the bronze statue of Maxwell in Cavendish Laboratory on the spot!"

Carlo Rubbia finished speaking.

There was a sudden burst of laughter from the audience.

This burst of laughter didn't mean much to mock Carlo Rubbia, it seemed

Everyone in the audience thought so too.

On the contrary, Carlo Rubia reacted after speaking.

The Asia he mentioned is actually mainly aimed at Neon or, to be more precise, it is aimed at Neon's Kamioka Laboratory.

In fact, next door to Neon, there is a bigger country that is also conducting dark matter experiments.

On top of them is the Wukong dark matter detection satellite, and on the bottom there is the Jinping Deep Earth Laboratory, which is making breakthroughs every year.

However, considering that the words had already been spoken, Carlo Rubia chose not to explain much.

It would be very troublesome to explain this kind of thing too much, besides

Even considering the country of China, Carlo Rubia doesn't think that the other party has the ability to discover dark matter first

Think here.

Carlo Rubia felt relieved a lot.

Afterwards, there will be routine viewing of video recordings, individual speeches by members, guest comments and other links.

Lars, the supervisor of the bubble room, also went on stage and beeped for more than ten minutes.

that's all.

After more than two hours.

The meeting was officially dissolved.

Since Lars was going to participate in the internal closing meeting, Lucas took two colleagues out of the conference center by himself and was going back to the hotel for a rest.

While walking, he also took out his mobile phone, intending to confirm the next itinerary with Fermilab.

He finally came to Europe. If there is a chance, he would like to meet some old friends or classmates, and visit the graves of some deceased elders.

As a two-time Nobel laureate would-be, Lucas has a claim to this qualification.

soon.

The phone connects.

"Hello, Miss Roy."

After the call was connected, Lucas took the initiative to say:

"The press conference at CERN is over. I will fax the written report to you within 24 hours. In addition, I would like to apply for a ten-day leave."

As a result, the words were not finished.

The second half of Lucas's conversation was interrupted by a deep male voice on the other side of the phone:

"Mr. Lucas, it's me, Angus."

Angus?

be honest.

When Lucas heard the name, the first thought that popped into Lucas's mind was Angus beef.

But he quickly realized that this somewhat unfamiliar name was actually the director-general of URA, the above-mentioned operating organization of Fermilab:

"Mr. Angus, aren't you in Chicago? Why?"

"I asked the internal line to transfer your call directly."

Angus on the other end of the phone explained briefly, and then said quickly:

"Mr. Lucas, I am sorry to inform you that your vacation may be cancelled."

"In addition, you have to arrive at Geneva International Airport at 6:50 tomorrow morning, first fly to Paris for a transit, and then fly to Huaxia."

"Go to Huaxia?"

Lucas was taken aback when he heard the words, but he is also a well-known expert, and soon realized something:

"Mr. Angus, what happened to Huaxia? Did the 59 they made go to heaven?"

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a few seconds:

"It has nothing to do with the 59th reform, we have received a notice, it is said."

"They found dark matter, really cold dark matter, CDM."
