Chapter 418 - 215: Collision! (6.8K)_3
The temperature corresponding to this potential energy U~KBT is much higher than the core temperature of the Sun.
Thus, before Gamow discovered the tunneling effect.
Scientists generally believed that the temperature in the core of the Sun was not high enough to allow hydrogen fusion.
Aside from this.
Quantum tunneling.
Is also a significant concept in Academician Pan’s research field of quantum encryption.
In fact.
Quantum entanglement, quantum correlation, quantum tunneling, and other quantum "black technologies" all are optimal devices for future quantum encryption communication.
So imagine.
A particle similar to neutrinos but can be captured and observed while achieving quantum tunneling effects...
Once it can be observed and researched...
How much would it aid the research of quantum encryption?
Of course.
Some people might have the misconception that discovering a new particle means a chance to win a Nobel Prize or something.
But this is actually quite a common misunderstanding.
To make an analogy.
These achievements are roughly equivalent to discovering a new species of bird or fish in the real world.
Attracting attention is not difficult.
But to win an award, it would need a discovery like dinosaurs...
For instance, the new particles discovered by LHCb have already surpassed 56, discovering about four to five new particles on average each year.
To award Nobel Prizes, ten would have to be given globally every year....
But from a scientific research perspective.
A newly discovered particle can potentially provide significant theoretical or technological advancement.
Thinking of this.
Zhao Zhengguo glanced at Academician Pan, and remarked:
"Xiaopan, this time you’ve brought up a good seedling. I remember Xiaoxu isn’t a doctoral student yet, right?"
Academician Pan nodded and smiled:
"Yes, still in the third year of master’s, but will enter doctoral studies next year."
Zhao Zhengguo, upon hearing this, his eyes flashed with a trace of envy.
The mentor-student relationship in the research circle has always been a complex two-way demand.
In this circle.
Students aim to find a good mentor, and mentors also wish to meet promising students.
Bringing honor to the mentor.
This is an idea that has existed in Huaxia since ancient times, and the research circle is no exception.
A very representative example is Academician Wang Zhenyi.
Elder Wang has nurtured three academicians: Chen Zhu, Chen Saijuan, and Chen Guoqiang, creating a feat of one family with four academicians, a renowned tale in Huaxia’s research circle.
As for Xu Yun right now, regardless of whether he has the potential to become an academician.
At the very least, if he continues to develop like this.
A senior title is surely indispensable, just a matter of time.
The potential is limitless....
While Zhao Zhengguo was pondering.
Xiaoliu, in charge of the main screen, suddenly raised his hand:
"Professor, the ire value has reached 99.6%!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhengguo’s expression immediately became serious, and he walked over to the console with Academician Pan.
This micro-particle collision they were conducting was on a larger scale than when they discovered the 4685Λ hyperon.
Many people, in their everyday life, often have this habit:
They enjoy spinning an umbrella quickly in the rain.
And as the umbrella spins, a cluster of water droplets will fly out along the edge tangentially.
Synchrotron radiation is when charged particles moving close to light speed travel in curved paths, emitting electromagnetic radiation tangentially.
Just like those water droplets along the tangential direction.
To make the droplets scatter faster, the amount of incoming rainwater.....which is akin to the light source requirement, naturally needs to be very high.
The heavier the rain.
The more water droplets will scatter.
As of now, there are approximately 47 synchrotron radiation facilities worldwide, spread across 23 countries and regions.
Domestically, there is the Yanjing Electron Positron Collider’s first-generation light source, the Lu Prefecture Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory’s second-generation light source, Shanghai’s third-generation synchrotron radiation source, and Hsinchu’s 4V synchrotron radiation source.
For this particle research, Academician Pan and his colleague spent significant social capital to borrow the best CCD light source among the second-generation sources.
This is the country’s highest radiation intensity light source within the second-generation sources, and it’s said that people illuminated by this source would undergo extremely terrifying body mutations.
Like growing six pairs of hands, thus tripling typing speed, etc.
The cost to start the CCD light source once is over two million Huaxia Coins, second only to APS and Italy’s Trieste source among the global second-generation sources, and three times that of Ke Da’s commonly used sources.
Of course.
The more expensive, the better the radiation effect of the light source.
You get what you pay for, right?
So once the ire value reached 99.6%...indicating the completion of equipment calibration.
Zhao Zhengguo and Academician Pan exchanged a glance and nodded in unison with great understanding.
Zhao Zhengguo took a deep breath and ordered:
"Start!"
As the instruction was given, Xiaoli exerted pressure on the button with his resting index finger.
Click—
Simultaneously.
Twenty meters underground.
A cubic array of magnets, about one meter high, was activated by electric current and began to vibrate like a jumping egg.
This is the wiggler for the synchrotron light source, oscillating the electron beam through a special encoding cycle.
A few seconds later.
Whiz—
A 1/4 wavelength superconducting prototype cavity composed of 65 beamlines quickly opened, and a lead atomic nucleus shot out at extraordinary speed.
Along with the support of achromatic focusing lenses, in just one ten-thousandth of a second, they were accelerated once again.
Seven ten-thousandths of a second later.
They swiftly passed through a 2.6T large-gap high field superconducting wiggler, which is another factor for ’raindrop splatter’:
