Chapter 486 Do you want to take a ride? (5438)

"In summary, our simulation and experimental results show that under the 'Bena-Zhao structure', the amplitude of the high-density plasma wake is significantly reduced, successfully reducing the peak amplitude of the wake by 42%, and the turbulence index is reduced to 0.76, which is highly correlated with the improvement of overall stability."

"My introduction is over. Now it's time for questions. Does anyone want to ask questions?"

In a classroom, Fang Yu put down the page turner, picked up the microphone, and casually looked around at the twenty or so scientists of different appearances in the seminar room.

These people are basically researchers in the field of physics at UCLA, from different groups, and some are from Caltech.

This is considered a relatively large-scale discussion in HEPEC (High Energy Phenomenology, Experiments and Cosmology Conference).

The big boss, Jay Hauser, was sitting in the first row, no more than two meters away from him and Kevin.

Kevin Stone often attends this kind of seminar, but since several major sponsors were also present today, Jay Hauser took it very seriously, which made him nervous as well. After stutteringly finishing the general introduction, he threw the detailed part directly to Fang Yu.

The academic atmosphere at UCLA is still free. Although most of these high-energy physicists look like scientists, there are also a few outliers who wear strange clothes.

Among them was a burly man with long hair and a big beard, with tattoos all over his arms and neck.

Most of them are white, but there are also quite a few people from the Great Zhou Dynasty. It seems that Dongya faces account for more than 30%.

"Dr. Stone, I'm Karl Frich, from the CERN Accelerator Fluidics Group. I'd like to ask, Dr. Fang just mentioned that the shear boundary uses reverse magnetic perturbations for three-axis regulation, but how do you deal with the field distortion problem in the boundary gradient zone during the application of this anti-disturbance field? Have you considered the impact of the time phase shift of the anti-disturbance on the propagation rate of the coda wave crest?"

A tall white man who looked to be in his twenties raised his hand.

Kevin picked up the microphone nervously: "Dr. Fritsch, this is a good question. We do have a distortion effect in the boundary area, especially a bias peak that appears 5ms after the reverse drive interval. Later, Fang suggested that we use a fourth-order smoothing algorithm and apply a leading pulse 0.3ms in advance..."

Kalvrich nodded, raised his hand again, and looked at Fang Yu: "Dr. Fang, did you also actively design the shear field startup delay? I noticed that you had basically no wake response in the first 3ms. Is it because the structure has not closed yet? Or is the magnetic flux climbing not over yet?"

"It's climbing, Dr. Fritsch."

Fang Yu picked up the page turner and flipped a few pages. The laser light flashed on a chart on the screen.

"The shear main field climbs to 13.2T before entering the stable phase. The first three milliseconds is the section where the magnetic field is not closed, which can be used to test the self-excited response of the control group of the coda wave."

"Also, Dr. Fritsch, I'm not a doctor, just an undergraduate." Fang Yu sat relaxedly in the chair with a regretful expression.

Hearing that Fang Yu was not yet a PhD, Kalfrich and the other researchers were somewhat surprised.

After answering a few more questions, the seminar came to an end. Just as Fang Yu was about to leave, he was stopped by Jay Hauser.

"Your name was added to the Honors track a week ago, but I don't see you taking any alternative courses. Is there something wrong?"

Jay Hauser, with slightly messy hair, wore a black casual suit that fit him perfectly. He stood up with his hands in his pockets, looking much younger than his actual age.

Jay Hauser was not optimistic about Kevin Stone's project at first, but he didn't expect that it would be successfully completed in the end, successfully verifying the effectiveness of the "Bena-Zhao" structure.

The "Bena-Zhao structure" is an adaptive confinement structural framework for high-density plasma systems proposed by two theoretical physicists at MIT two years ago.

After this structure was proposed, many people in the industry believed that this confinement structure should greatly improve the confinement effect of high-density plasma.

But because the experiment was too difficult, Jay Hauser originally had no hope at all. Unexpectedly, a team like Kevin Stone actually managed to accomplish it.

Although it is not a groundbreaking or Nobel Prize-level scientific research achievement, if Kevin is lucky and the "Bena-Zhao" structure is really widely used, there is still some hope that he will win the Pandowski Award or the Tom Bonner Award in his lifetime.

Of course, it is just a little hope. It is a state where one is qualified to obtain it but has a high probability of not being able to obtain it.

But even so, this is already a very surprising result.

The experimental data is clean and the analysis is clear and well-reasoned. You can see the authenticity and validity of the entire experiment without much effort in reviewing the manuscript.

When Jay Hauser learned from Kevin's narration that the biggest contributor to this experiment was actually an undergraduate student, he was surprised and delighted.

What physics needs most is genius, whether it is experimental physics or theoretical physics.

An undergraduate who can achieve this level is obviously a genius.

Of course, the field of physics is where there are the most geniuses, and Jay Hauser has seen too many brilliant young geniuses.

But what's the use? They're not in my group.

The genius in your own group is a good genius.

Especially when he learned that Fangis also did the data analysis, Jay Hauser decided to enroll this Zhou-American student in the department's honors course.

Jay Houser looked similar to Keanu Reeves when he was young. Even though he is almost sixty years old now, he is still considered an old handsome guy.

Jay Hauser is not just an idol, he also has strong scientific research capabilities.

Although he has never won a Nobel Prize as an experimental physicist, he is already one of the top experts in his field and has made important contributions to the discovery of the top quark and the Higgs boson.

Honors course? Fang Yu was confused. He opened the course selection system with his mobile browser and found that there was an additional item "PHYS199H" under his course schedule. The note clearly stated that the recommended professor was Jay Hauser.

And below the course code, it has been approved by the department chair, Jean Turner.

Damn it?

I haven’t even applied for honors courses. Doesn’t this thing require students to apply?
After taking a closer look, Fang Yu realized that this was an honors course for the Department of Physics and Astronomy. He didn't really need to apply for it. All he needed was a professor to recommend it, a teaching assistant to submit an application in the system, and the department chair to approve it.

I took another look and saw that there was an RA note.

Isn't this just forcing someone to do something? Jay Hauser, what's with your expression of gratitude for recognizing someone's talent? This is our first meeting, so we're not that familiar with each other, right?
Many Miami schools have honors courses, which are equivalent to the same course, but are more difficult. They also allow undergraduates to take senior and graduate courses in advance and use them to cover some of the credits for lower-level courses.

Many students in honors courses will complete the required credits and obtain their degrees during the summer before their junior year. If there are supervisors willing to accept them, a considerable number of them will be recruited in advance by professors as their doctoral students.

In addition, students in honors courses also have different living conditions from other students. For example, in the "Yao Class", they are a class of their own and can apply for higher-level and better-equipped student dormitories.

Whether applying for scholarships or courses, or even eating, students in honors programs have more coupons than ordinary students.

Comparable to an inner sect disciple.

The school’s famous dormitory, “Ripau Terrace,” has a special “Honors Program” floor.

The problem is that I don't need these things at all. I can teleport, so I don't need to live here. Even if I need a sports venue occasionally, the 19-square-meter penthouse apartment No. is still empty.

"Gis, I've read your lab records and reports. You have strong data analysis skills and a very good foundation in physics."

"I'm in urgent need of an RA who is good at both of these areas. Please report in next week."

Jay Hauser walked up to Fang Yu, looked up, and patted Fang Yu's shoulder with an admiring look on his face.

Fang Yu shook his head like a rattle: "Sorry, Professor, I have already told Kevin before that I don't plan to continue on the path of scientific research, nor do I plan to apply for a PhD after graduation."

What a joke! I have now developed a full-size tokamak. Once the tokamak power plant in the eastern suburbs of Haixi is completed in half a year, this full-size tokamak can be officially put into commercial use.

By then, even if the electricity consumption of his data center in Haixi increases ten thousand times, it will be more than enough to cover the area.

As we can see from Kevin's previous experiments, most of the current experiments in the field of high-energy physics are like dancing with shackles due to the limitation of power supply, and it is inevitable that the results will be half as good as the results obtained with twice the effort. The most needed thing in the field of high-energy physics is electricity. In other words, when there is sufficient power support, many basic concepts in the field of experimental high-energy physics may be rewritten.

In other words, when controlled nuclear fusion becomes popular, most of the existing research by experimental physicists like Jay Hauser will be in vain.

There are countless similar cases in academic history.

For example, in the field of astronomy, the launch of the Hubble telescope caused a large number of ground-based astronomical telescope projects to be cancelled or intercepted.

In the field of biology, the invention of PCR caused the "sophisticated technology" of enzyme cutting + electrophoresis in the era of manual DNA sequencing to quickly disappear.

The birth of AI has made many research directions lose their meaning of existence overnight. A large amount of research funding has been cut, and the honors and awards that were originally being evaluated have been cancelled. Countless scientific researchers who have worked hard for more than ten years have instantly lost the value of their existence.

The same is true in the field of high-energy experimental physics, with the popularization of controlled nuclear fusion.

Originally, many detector plans and laser fusion experiments had to adopt alternative paths or lengthy plans due to "energy ceiling". These plans may have been obtained by working up hundreds of Leonards in "The Big Bang Theory", but now they have completely lost their meaning.

Of course, after popularization, many of their research bottlenecks will disappear. For experimental physicists, there will be harm, but more benefits.

Therefore, Fang Yu is not prepared to invest too much energy in the current field of experimental physics.

Jay Hauser Subway Old Man asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why? Are you switching to finance too?"

Most students majoring in physics and mathematics eventually switched to finance and went to various investment banks and financial institutions.

Fang Yu smiled and said, "No, it's just that doing experiments is too boring and not suitable for me."

Kevin Stone was packing up his computer nearby while feeling jealous and envious: "Professor, he lives alone in Apartment 19, and his bathroom is bigger than mine. His girlfriend is Kendall Jenner. If it were me, I wouldn't study physics either."

Kendall and Gigi had come to UCLA to visit Fang Yu twice before, and Kevin had seen them. Seeing Kendall's attitude towards Fang Yu, Kevin thought he finally understood why Gigi had been so rude to Emily some time ago.

In fact, it has nothing to do with Kendall Jenner. It’s mainly because there is another model named Emily, and the two have the same name, so readers can easily confuse them.

Kevin was shocked when he saw Kendall sitting on Fang Yu's lap.

Although he doesn't watch KUWTK, how many Miami people don't know the names of the five Kardashian sisters?
Your friend’s girlfriend is Kendall Jenner?
This is more painful than killing me.

Kevin’s reaction afterwards scared Fang Yu so much that she didn’t dare to tell him that she was not his girlfriend but just a running friend.

Jay Hauser wondered: "Who is Kendall Jenner?"

Kevin Stone's eyes widened in shock: "Professor, you don't know Kendall? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Although Jay Hauser really didn't know who Kendall Jenner was, he could understand what was going on from Kevin's words and couldn't help but sigh with regret.

"That's a pity. You are a good candidate. Alas, I wanted to recruit a doctoral student who is proficient in data analysis and high-energy physics to help me analyze some important data, but I couldn't find anyone who met the requirements. The data analysis ability you demonstrated in Kevin's experiment just met my requirements. What a pity, alas."

"It turns out that eight out of ten things in life are not what you want to see."

Jay Hauser sighed and said, "Eight out of ten times, life is not satisfactory." He said this in Zhou Wen, and he didn't even have an accent.

This old guy is really good. How could he speak Zhou Yu so well?
Fang Yu thought for a moment and said, "If you just want to analyze some data, you can also send it to me. I can find time to do it for you. You don't have to join the team. What is the specific data?"

Jay Hauser waved his hand, looking listless. “These are some raw data from the LHC. I want to reanalyze this data using AI data analysis to see if I can find undiscovered particles in this data.”

"These are very large and complex data. If you don't do it full-time, it will be difficult to get results."

LHC operation and experimental data?

LHC is the abbreviation of Large Hadron Collider. This world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator, which began construction in 3044 and was completed in 3054, has become the infrastructure of the physics world. It has four intersections for accelerated particle collisions and nine detectors for detecting different phenomena.

The Sigma boson was discovered by the LHC.

Jay Hauser is the System Manager for the CMS subsystem at the LHC, coordinating technologies from 23 institutions in 65 countries across the four detectors.

Fang Yu's eyes lit up and his gaze flickered: "Well, professor, now that you mention it, I am a little interested. Can you send it to me first?"

"Okay, I'll drive the hard drive over tomorrow and you can take a look at it first. I'll tell you as soon as you've made up your mind." Jay Hauser agreed readily.

LHC is a multinational scientific research facility. These data are not confidential. Although they are not posted online, it is because it is meaningless to post the raw data that has not been processed directly online.

The raw data of the LHC, let’s see if you can find something in it.

Fang Yu was still somewhat curious about the vibration frequency of 12.6 Thz of the information strings in the God model, and wanted to see if he could discover something through the raw data of the LHC.

After chatting with Jay Hauser for a few more words, Fang Yu picked up her bag and went downstairs.

Before he reached the Cadillac V16 he was driving, which was more than ten years older than Chen Shian, he saw a girl with a figure comparable to Scarlett Johansson ten years ago, holding up her cell phone and taking pictures enthusiastically beside the car.

It's not a selfie, it's a photo of the car.

"Hey! Handsome guy over there, can you take some pictures of me and this V16? Holy shit, this is the first time I've seen a 2983 V16, it's so cool."

The girl looks good, but not stunning, and her figure is just too ugly.

"This car is the second generation v16. It should have been produced in 2984, not 83, right?" Fang Yu took the 6s from the girl and said casually.

The girl exclaimed excitedly: "I knew it! I knew it! Someone will definitely make a mistake!"

"This is not from 2984, it's from 83. You all thought that the V2984 S16 series started production in 90, right? In fact, they were already producing it on the new platform in 2983. But not many were produced, only 50 units."

The girl spoke excitedly and posed for photos.

"However, you have a pretty good eye for recognizing that this car is from 2984. Do you like classic cars? Unfortunately, I don't know the serial number of this car. Which of the 50 is it?"

The girl leaned her head to look inside the car. The interior of this nearly 100-year-old classic car looked like new.

However, the firewall plate and the metal label on the driver's door frame that were originally stamped with the chassis number are missing.

There is also a place where the chassis number is printed on the front of the frame, which cannot be seen without the jack.

"The number is 5270016, so it should be the 15th car. They should have skipped the 13th, right?"

After taking the picture of the girl, Fang Yu calmly handed the phone back to her.

The girl didn't even turn her head. She reached back and took the phone. She looked into the car through the glass with a longing look on her face and shook her head. "No, there is another one with the number 0. If the chassis number is 0016, then it is still the 16th car. The number 527 in front is the number of 2983. I am not mistaken. This car is indeed from 83."

As soon as the words fell, the girl felt something was wrong. She turned around suddenly with a look of surprise on her face.

"How do you know the car's serial number is 0016?"

"Click."

Fang Yu pulled out the car key from the keyhole on the driver's door, opened the door, and shook the key chain in his hand at the girl: "Would you like to experience a ride?"
