I ate three White Rabbit toffee candies and drank half a glass of water, which temporarily relieved my hunger.
Su Zhe looked at the time. It was already eight o'clock, and it was completely dark outside the window.
This time is very awkward, the dinner time has passed, and the midnight snack time has not yet started.
Thinking of finding evidence in the original data to confirm the built model, I gave up and went to the cafeteria to eat now.
He clicked on the data collected by the particle detector and found the time points when the two sets of X-rays with wavelengths 0.02 nanometers and 0.1 nanometers occurred.
Check one by one to see if you can find definite evidence.
According to his calculation, what he needs to find is that the ion beam will process the workpiece, that is, the hydrogen atoms and calcium atoms on the surface of the optical lens will be knocked out. When the hydrogen atoms and calcium atoms are flying, the former absorbs X-rays with a wavelength of 1.25 nanometers. , and releases X-rays with a wavelength of 0.02 nanometers, which absorbs X-rays with a wavelength of 1.36 nanometers, and releases X-rays with a wavelength of 0.1 nanometers.
Only in this way can particle detectors capture the motion trajectories of hydrogen and calcium atoms.
If the hydrogen atoms and calcium atoms do not leave the surface of the optical lens, there is nothing the ion detector can do.
Finding it this way is entirely based on luck.
It is best to design experiments to verify. Relatively speaking, experiments are not difficult.
Take the verification of hydrogen atoms.
There is a stable X-ray light source with a wavelength of 1.25 nanometers, hydrogen atoms in a specific environment, and a full-band X-ray receiver.
There are two key points in this experiment, one is a stable X-ray light source, and the other is a specific environment.
The latter only requires knowing the parameters of the environment, while the former is still a bit difficult.
Of course, there is no such condition now. He just hopes to find the data he wants in this massive amount of raw data.
Search and search! Search and search!
Two hours later, Su Zhe finally found the case he wanted in the raw data collected by the particle detector.
A hydrogen atom detaches from the surface of the optical lens under the impact of the ion beam. The hydrogen atom then absorbs X-rays with a wavelength of 1.25 nanometers, and then releases X-rays with a wavelength of 0.02 nanometers.
Seeing this case, Su Zhe jumped up from his chair and shouted: "Yes! Just find it... The model I built is correct."
After being excited for a while, I sat down and carefully studied the raw data of this time period.
He integrated the raw data collected by the full-band electromagnetic wave receiver and particle detector during this time period to analyze and restore the entire process from hydrogen atoms absorbing X-rays with a wavelength of 1.25 nanometers to releasing X-rays with a wavelength of 0.02 nanometers.
So as to compare this process with the model he built.
At first, Su Zhe was very happy because the original data was consistent with the model he built. The time it takes for hydrogen atoms to absorb X-rays with a wavelength of 1.25 nanometers is longer than the time it takes for hydrogen atoms to release X-rays with a wavelength of 0.02 nanometers.
This is easy to understand, after all, the energy intensity of X-rays with a wavelength of 0.02 nanometers is much greater.
However, he found that the duration of X-rays with a wavelength of 0.02 nanometers calculated by the model he built was shorter than the actual time calculated from the raw data.
The different durations indicate differences in the energy released by hydrogen atoms.
In reality, hydrogen atoms release more energy through X-rays with a wavelength of 0.02 nanometers than in the model.
When he saw the trajectory of hydrogen atoms, he was not calm anymore.
When hydrogen atoms release X-rays with a wavelength of 0.02 nanometers, the orbit of the hydrogen atoms shifts slightly.
Crucially, the direction is opposite to that of X-rays with a wavelength of 0.02 nanometers.
This...this is so abnormal.
Not understanding, he checked the original data again and found no factors that affected the displacement of the hydrogen atom's motion trajectory.
Based on the actual collected raw data, he calculated that the energy released by X-rays with a wavelength of 0.02 nanometers is basically equal to the energy that causes the displacement of hydrogen atoms.
After much thought, he could not explain what was happening to this hydrogen atom.
After thinking for a long time, he made an assumption.
There is something unknown in the process of hydrogen atoms releasing X-rays with a wavelength of 0.02 nanometers.
The whole process should be that after hydrogen atoms absorb X-rays with a wavelength of 1.25 nanometers, the hydrogen atoms release not X-rays with a wavelength of 0.02 nanometers, but an unknown particle with mass.
After being detached from the hydrogen atom, this particle decayed in a very short period of time, decaying into X-rays with a wavelength of 0.02 nanometers.
After this hypothesis appeared in his mind, Su Zhe himself was amused by this hypothesis.
Laughing, he rebuilt the model based on this hypothesis. He was surprised to find that both energy and displacement could be explained reasonably.
The rebuilt model fits perfectly with the original data collected.
Seeing this result, he couldn't help but laugh.
It would be fine if his model was wrong; if it were true, it would be a major discovery.
Atoms in a specific environment absorb electromagnetic waves of specific wavelengths, and atoms release electromagnetic waves of specific wavelengths and undergo displacement.
Using this characteristic of atoms, we can not only create electromagnetic waves of specific wavelengths, but also control the movement of atoms, and...
He also predicted the existence of a kind of particle. He smiled and wrote the name of this particle on an A4 paper: heavy photon.
Based on his newly built model, he derived the properties, mass, decay period, etc. of heavy photons.
As for the formation process of heavy photons, he did not make detailed calculations because it was too complicated and lacked complete theoretical support, so he had to give up.
Thinking of such a major discovery, he felt that the Nobel Prize in Physics was waving to him.
The more Su Zhe thought about it, the more excited he became. He used his hypothesis to reconstruct the model of calcium atoms with X-rays with a wavelength of 1.36 nanometers.
It was found that the new model is more self-consistent and reasonable than the original model.
With the new model in hand, Su Zhe began to search frantically for the original data.
What doesn't an example prove?
If it doesn't go well it's just a coincidence.
What he needs to do is to find more examples to prove the correctness of the new model.
I searched through the raw data of the fifth test but couldn't find it, so I clicked on the raw data of other tests.
I wonder if he was lucky, but in the raw data of the fourth test, he found three instances of hydrogen atoms.
Hydrogen atoms absorb X-rays with a wavelength of 1.25 nanometers and release X-rays with a wavelength of 0.02 nanometers.
In the three cases, the duration and intensity of X-rays with a wavelength of 0.02 nanometers released by hydrogen atoms are different. One of the cases is more special. A hydrogen atom simultaneously absorbed X-rays with a wavelength of 1.25 nanometers released by multiple different calcium atoms. , this hydrogen atom released X-rays with a wavelength of 0.02 nanometers, and also made irregular movements.
Su Zhe substituted the original data of the three cases into the model and found that the model could predict perfectly and was very consistent with the actual measured data.
"Luck! Luck!"
At this point, he was basically certain that his model was right and that the heavy photons he predicted might actually exist.
Unfortunately, no examples of calcium atoms have been found. If found, it would prove the universality of the model.
Now it seems that it can only be proved through experiments.
He stood up and took a deep breath.
When he got up, he found that it was already dawn outside the window. When he looked at the time, it was already six o'clock in the morning.
He rushed out of the office excitedly and walked to the ion beam polishing technology research laboratory to see if Bao Zhengyi and Fan Xiaoming were there. He wanted to tell them the surprise.
