On the fourth day after returning to the United States from Geneva, Xiang Nan took the lead in launching the paper "Charged Higgs Boson in Single Top Production at the Large Hadron Collider."
Suddenly, a stone stirred up a thousand waves.
Whether Kiko exists has always been an unsolved mystery of physics.
Now, Xiang Nan has pointed out the real existence of Xiko by analyzing the test data provided by CERN.
This news is nothing short of earth-shattering.
For a time, everyone was rushing to visit the preprint website and download Xiang Nan's paper.
Everyone wants to see what reasons he based on when he concluded that Kiko really existed and was observed by the research center.
Because there were so many people visiting, the preprint website was down for a while.
This is also a rare thing.
And after people read Xiang Nan's paper, they had to admire his insights.
He actually found evidence of Kiko's existence in the vast sea of data.
This is really awesome.
You know, the data generated by this ALICE trial is as large as 12T. Finding Kiko from such a huge amount of data is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
However, Xiang Nan was able to find traces of Xizi within four days, which was really amazing.
…
Subsequently, Xiang Nan's paper was included in the industry's top journal "Journal of High Energy Physics".
Moreover, outside media soon received the news and reported it immediately.
"The luckiest man in history discovered a habitable planet first and then discovered the God particle! The probability is one hundred thousand times smaller than winning the lottery."
Media reports focus on entertainment. In view of the fact that Xiang Nan has successively discovered habitable planets and God particles, these are extremely unlikely events and are quite legendary.
So they all focused their reports on Xiang Nan and gave him all the credit for the discovery of the God Particle. On the other hand, CERN, which actually discovered the God Particle, only mentioned it in the report and became a complete match.
Because of this, Xiang Nan dominated the scene and became famous for a while, becoming the hottest academic star.
This also makes the senior management of Caltech very satisfied. Dr. Gablehouse and President Seibert have praised him many times, and he has been designated as the winner of the University Award.
Even more proudly, the school will strongly recommend him to compete for the MacArthur Genius Grant.
The MacArthur Genius Award is one of the highest cross-field awards in the United States. It was founded in 1981 and named after John D. MacArthur, the founder of Bank Life Disaster Corporation (not the American five-star general MacArthur.)
The MacArthur Genius Award aims to recognize creative talents who have played an important role in social development. It selects 20 to 25 outstanding individuals in various fields every year and provides each with a total bonus of US$500,000, allowing them to be more free. Continue to explore.
Because Xiang Nan has made outstanding contributions in the fields of astrophysics and particle physics, surpassing his peers and being a leader among others, he has an advantage in competing for the MacArthur Genius Award.
…
Being a candidate for the MacArthur Genius Grant is good news for Xiang Nan.
On the one hand, the value of this award is very high. Previous award recipients are leaders in various fields and have made outstanding contributions in their respective fields. Therefore, being able to receive this award also represents recognition of his contribution.
For one thing, the prize comes with half a million dollars. Half a million dollars is already considered a huge sum of money to ordinary people.
Although Xiang Nan currently earns enough money to spend, no one would think that he has too much money. Love is based on material things. After he has money, it will be more convenient for him to pick up girls.
Therefore, in order to increase his competitive advantage and further reap the fruits of victory, Xiang Nan continued his efforts and successively launched "The Higgs Boson of LEP and LHC is 98 and 125 GeV respectively", "In the Large Hadron Collision" Two papers, "Z Decay to Four Lepton Observed with CMS Detector onboard", continue to cause a stir in the academic community.
…
"Raj, you are so full of energy now!" Howard said to Xiang Nan enviously while eating in the restaurant.
In less than half a month, three heavyweight papers were published. Such a high output is really amazing.
You know, even for a top scholar like Sheldon, publishing three papers in one year is already a big deal.
Peggy also looked at Xiang Nan with burning eyes.
While other experts were still clueless in the face of massive data, Xiang Nan had already published three heavyweight papers and successfully found traces of Xiko.
This superhuman IQ and incredible luck are really amazing.
"This ALICE experiment really gave me a lot of inspiration." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.
In the next month or two, he will publish about ten more papers to capture all the fruits of victory in this ALICE trial.
"It would have been better if I had gone with you." Howard said regretfully.
Compared with Xiang Nan, he is full of firepower, produces frequent results, and gains both fame and fortune. He has basically achieved nothing in the past half month, and it has been completely wasted.
"Don't be sad." Upon seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly comforted, "Our project will start soon. By then, you will also be able to gain both fame and fortune."
"Yeah." Howard nodded, becoming excited again.
They plan to start the development of a quantum navigation system prototype after the Chinese New Year.
At that time, once the development is successful, they can apply for patents and cooperate with outside companies.
Quantum navigation systems are widely used in the civilian field, and they can make a lot of money from the licensing fees alone.
"What project are you talking about?" Peggy asked curiously when she saw this.
"Quantum guide..." Howard spoke quickly, and when he saw Peggy asking, he immediately showed off.
When Xiang Nan saw it, she covered his mouth, then turned to Peggy and smiled, "It will be kept secret for now. I will tell you when I have the opportunity in the future."
Peggy blinked, "Okay."
Xiang Nan then glared at Howard.
The quantum navigation system is no trivial matter. It is the world's most advanced technology. It is widely used in military and civilian fields. It is extremely valuable and of great significance. How can it be disclosed to outsiders?
Howard also knew that he almost made a mistake, and suddenly looked embarrassed.
"By the way, Leonard and Penny seem to have broken up again." He found another topic to divert the embarrassment.
"No surprise." Xiang Nan smiled when he heard this.
Penny hasn't stopped yet and is very playful. Leonard is an otaku, and from ordinary people's perspective, he is a very boring person.
Therefore, they can't play together at all now, and even if they reluctantly stay together, they will soon separate.
However, people will always mature. Penny will return to her family sooner or later, and her best candidate is basically Leonard.
