Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 278 This is a big deal! Another experimental accident!
The small town of Milan in the northern suburbs of Geneva.

There is a large area in the center that belongs to the nuclear organization, and the experimental center is also included in it. Scholars from all over the world have gathered at the experimental center.

The nuclear organization test experiment has attracted international attention, and many scholars are looking forward to the experiment.

There were more than 60 scholar groups attending, with a total number of more than people.

For a single test experiment, the academic group and number of people are relatively large, but because there are too many teams and individuals applying, the cooperative department of the nuclear organization can only try to allow as many teams and individuals to participate.

Most scholars come here to force interference in hyperon decay experiments.

After they arrived at the experimental center's base, they also discussed related topics.

"It's just a test experiment, and the intensity is low. There's not much analysis work for hadron collision experiments, so it will be easy anyway."

"There are so many people here, but there is only so much work to do. They just come to watch the experiments."

"We need to learn about the chaotic force field through experiments. That is the real new direction of research."

"The experiment seems to be conducted in comparison with the data node of last year's accident. It is said that the location of that node is likely related to gold manufacturing and satellite strike weapon technology."

"Is it some unknown nuclear reaction? Will there be radiation?"

"You don't have to worry about that. The reaction happens inside the device. Whether it's hadron collision or hyperon decay, there will be radiation."

"We can't reach them anyway."

"Didn't Professor Zhang Shuo warn them that there were risks? Aren't they worried?"

"Risk? Maybe there is, so we have carried out safety renovations, which are said to be very successful. We have various measures in place, so even if the situation of last year's accident happens again, we should be able to deal with it, right?"

"I know that!"

Someone who knew about it immediately said, "I was particularly concerned about it. They even modified the interior of the reaction equipment, adding an explosion-proof layer inside and thick steel plates outside, so there is no need to worry about explosions."

Another person said, "I heard that the director of the experiment, Custer, is very worried. He trusts Professor Zhang Shuo very much."

"He's just timid, of course. After all, he is directly involved in the experiment. But for us, scientific exploration is the most important thing. Everything has risks."

Many people who have discussed this are already looking forward to the follow-up work of the experiment.

They came to the base to participate in data work.

The experimental data can help them better understand the chaotic force field, and may also analyze information related to unknown nuclear reactions from it. I can’t wait to think about it.

Now it's like participating in a physical feast.

Some older scholars felt that they had regained the feeling of participating in the hadron collision experiments of the last century.

At that time, every experiment would lead to new discoveries. The discovery of each particle and the completion of each research would continuously contribute to the improvement of the standard model of particles.

Those were truly the best of times!

Things were different after entering the new century. Apart from the discovery of the God particle, there were basically no other major discoveries. By the time of the high-energy physics conference, even the discovery of "new quark combination particles" became a remarkable research.

Therefore, nuclear organizations have to invest huge amounts of money to continuously modify equipment to increase collision intensity.

However, the harvest was still meagre.

New physics directions and experiments on chaotic force fields will surely usher in a new round of physics feast.

They are about to experience the best of times!

……

The experimental center in the small town of Milan only has a ground computing center and office facilities.

The main experimental base is more than ten kilometers away from the town of Milan, and the hadron collider is located in a tunnel 100 meters deep and 17 miles long under the Jura Mountains.

The hadron collision experiment, including the strong magnetic interference hyperon decay experiment, involves mostly experimental and engineering personnel within the nuclear organization.

The experimental device for strong magnetic interference hyperon decay is located on the side of the main underground experimental base connected to the particle acceleration channel.

The experimental group's base is also located underground, and there are many workshops surrounding the particle collider accelerator.

There are many experimental personnel working inside. They will collect data and information during the hadron collision experiment as soon as possible. There are also experimental personnel from the Astor team who collect the hyperon signal data generated by the collision.

To conduct a forced interference super decay experiment, the first step is to create hyperons.

Hyperons are created in particle collision experiments.

Therefore, the main device of the forced interference hyperon decay experiment is connected to the hadron collider, and the main device is located in a large experimental room 60 meters underground.

Above the underground laboratory is the above-ground laboratory, which contains some electronic equipment for signal processing.

The underground laboratory is the most important.

Before the experiment started, Arthur Custer, Appleton Little and several other scholars and officials were waiting in the underground laboratory for professionals to complete the pre-experimental testing and acceptance work.

The inspection and acceptance work has a special step added to deal with possible safety risks, which is to send professional personnel to supervise the equipment testing and inspect various safety measures.

After the inspection is passed, the experiment can officially begin.

Appleton Little was talking to a security officer named Barber. "Is everything all right?"

"Passed!"

Babol tightened his belt with his big belly, smiled and nodded, "No problem, everything is normal, we can start the experiment."

As he spoke, he took out the walkie-talkie and communicated with others.

Soon you can hear a buzzing sound of electricity.

The experiment begins.

All the preliminary work for the hadron collision experiment has been completed, and once it has been confirmed that the experiment can begin, the experimenters can't wait to start the operation.

The experimental process is to accelerate two proton beams in opposite directions in the accelerator pipe, and the acceleration is continuous.

When accelerated to a certain level, the particles in the two proton beams begin to collide continuously.

The faster the speed, the higher the probability of collision.

Particle collisions do not end in one go. Particles move at extremely fast speeds in the accelerator tube, with the fastest speed being more than 1 revolutions per second, and all time is consumed in the acceleration process.

When the proton beam reaches a certain speed, many particles will collide.

At this point, it can be over.

A large number of hyperons are also produced during the particle collision process. The hyperons are screened into specific pipes and flow into the strong magnetic interference hyperon decay experimental device.

Then, the experiment started.

The hadron collision experiment and strong magnetic interference hyperon decay were carried out one after the other, but because the time difference was very small, they can also be considered to be carried out simultaneously.

This time, the strong magnetic interference hyperon decay requires the use of equipment to adjust the parameters to fixed nodes and then conduct detection of the fixed nodes.

The experimental data does not come out immediately because all the test feedback is marginal information and requires complex analysis.

After the experiment lasted for a while, the strong magnetic interference hyperon decay experiment officially began, and some experimenters became nervous.

Most people say that there is little risk and it is very safe, but they still have concerns in their hearts.

What if?
Last year's accident was no joke.

The safety officer on the scene kept reporting, "So far, everything is normal."

Artur Custer stared at the main equipment solemnly. After running it for a while, he found that there was no problem and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't care about the results of the experiment at all, he just hoped that there would be no accidents.

"I hope everything goes well!" Custer said with emotion, "It would be best if everything goes well. It doesn't matter whether the experiment finds anything or not."

Appleton-Leet was also staring at the equipment. Hearing what Custer said, he smiled and said, "Safety is of course the most important thing, but don't lose confidence in the experiment. Our research is at the forefront."

Barber, who was standing nearby, also said, "I don't understand the experiment, but I know about this matter." "We all think that Professor Zhang Shuo may have selfish motives in pointing out the risks."

Custer and Litt both looked over.

Babol shrugged and continued, "I don't know what you think, but we discussed that they don't want to be caught up by us, or they don't want us to discover that special nuclear reaction."

“Our advantage is the intensity of our experiments.”

“Our intensity is the highest and they can’t match that intensity.”

"Of course, I don't know whether this is related to the chaos force field or the nuclear reaction."

Appleton-Leet nodded in agreement. "Of course it is related. The number of hyperons we produce is hundreds of times higher, so the detection information will be clearer."

Custer hesitated, then nodded.

He didn't speak.

No one else said anything, just paid attention to the situation of the main device.

After a period of time, the experimental device has started to operate normally and the computer has received the detection information.

As the messages came in one by one, Custer breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems to be alright."

"I told you before, don't worry." Appleton-Leet also smiled, "Go upstairs, I want to go to the main laboratory too."

Babol followed and said, "I'm going out too. It's too boring to stay underground."

The three of them walked out together.

When he reached the elevator at the corner, Babol pressed the button and got on the elevator.

Custer hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's take the safe passage."

Babol laughed. "Are you worried that something might go wrong? Even if there is, how could it be such a coincidence?"

"me and you togather."

Appleton-Little also laughed, but he still did not choose to take the elevator. Instead, he followed Custer through the safety passage. He also explained, "The safety manual states that you cannot take the elevator during the experiment."

"That has nothing to do with me." Babol said proudly, and then pressed the button.

Custer and Appleton-Little walked around the corner together.

The safety passage is not easy to walk through because it is sixty meters underground and you have to climb many stairs to get to the ground.

They walked together and stopped in front of a glass window.

Through the glass window, you can see the top of the forced interference hyperon decay experimental device.

"No problem, don't worry."

Appleton-Little patted Custer on the shoulder and was about to continue walking up.

Custer suddenly exclaimed, "Look, there!" He pointed in the direction of the device.

Appleton Little stopped, turned his head and saw a little smoke coming out of the device. Before he could react, a harsh "beeping" sound came from the passage.

“The alarm is sounding!”

"problem occurs!"

Custer and Appleton-Little both reacted.

Appleton Little subconsciously tried to walk back, but Custer grabbed him and said, "What are you doing? Run!"

"Get out!"

Appleton Little finally reacted and ran upstairs with Custer.

When I was halfway through the run, the lights in the passage suddenly went out.

They didn't have time to panic and continued to run up the passage. They ran out of the passage and before they had time to catch their breath, they heard a loud noise coming from underground.

"Oh!"

"Go quickly!"

Custer yelled, "It's not safe here either!"

Appleton Little also stepped forward. When he turned the corner, he glanced at the elevator and subconsciously shouted, "Barbol, he should still be in the elevator!"

Just as he finished speaking, there were a few muffled sounds coming from the basement, and the next moment a scream was heard from the elevator.

From the front came the shouts of the crowd, "Mr. Leete, come out quickly!"

Appleton Little hurried forward.

He ran out of the door of the laboratory and ran forward for dozens of meters. When he saw Custer and others stopped there, he stopped and shouted breathlessly, "Babol, Babol..."

"Never mind Babol..."

Custer stared at the direction of the laboratory, and whispered in despair, "This is a big deal!"

……

"Oh!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

There were continuous explosions coming from underground.

The underground strong magnetic interference hyperon decay experiment room is connected to many workrooms surrounding the particle acceleration pipeline.

Some experimenters in the workshop came out immediately after hearing the explosion, and heard panicked shouts, "Run!"

"Go to the ground!"

"The laboratory over there exploded, there was a lot of white smoke..."

The ventilation underground is not very good.

A large amount of white smoke spread along the passage, causing everyone in the passage to exclaim, and they ran in the opposite direction.

Panic, screaming and despair became the main theme of the underground passage.

As the smoke grew thicker, the voices of despair became more numerous, and the smoke slowly rushed out of the underground.

The experimental center in the small town of Milan.

Many people gathered in the square, and they also knew the news of the accident in the laboratory.

"What happened? Was there an explosion?"

"Same as last year's accident?"

"I don't know yet, but it's definitely not a good thing. I see a lot of firefighters are heading over there."

"Please don't let any serious accidents happen..."

While the crowd was discussing, they heard a scream, "Look! That direction!"

Many people looked in the direction of the finger and found some white smoke appearing in the distance. The white smoke kept rising and was obviously getting bigger and bigger.

It just rained.

Under the sunlight, the white smoke seems to be shining with colorful light, which is very beautiful.

To the people in the square, it was a haze of sadness...
