Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 228: Familiarity with the Experiment
After returning to normal life, Chen Zhou worked at full capacity to catch up with the few days that were taken up by trivial matters.
Speaking of which, when you try to follow the movement of the earth with your heart, you will find that time is really a kind of movement.
The pen in your hand, the words you write, the books you flip through, and the literature are, in a sense, a kind of relative motion.
The result of the movement is naturally the piles of draft papers, the textbooks that become old and are marked with various annotations, and the knowledge that is gradually enriched in the mind.
At the end of September, Dean Yang notified the time of the third particle accelerator experiment.
The experiment was scheduled for September 30th.
After receiving the experiment notification, Chen Zhou thought about it and decided to ask Dean Yang to stay in the laboratory for a few days until the experiment began.
The reason why Chen Zhou made this decision was that he had finished all the physics textbooks and he had more time.
Another thing is that the research on Cramer's conjecture, like the early stage of the hail conjecture, has not made any progress at all.
He never recovered the moment of inspiration that came from the hail conjecture.
Therefore , Chen Zhou planned to put the research on Cramer's conjecture aside for the time being and only review the relevant literature at a fixed time every day.
Furthermore, for experimental research, only by having a deep understanding of the experiment can we better study it in depth.
After all, the saying that what you learn from books is always shallow still makes sense.
When Dean Yang learned that Chen Zhou actually took the initiative to ask to go to the laboratory, he was naturally very happy. How could he refuse?
In this way, Chen Zhou came to the Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Technology Laboratory of Yenching National Laboratory for Molecular Sciences three days before the experiment started.
Yang Yiyi also came with him.
It wasn’t because Chen Zhou came that Yang Yiyi followed here.
The reason why Yang Yiyi also came to the laboratory was because she had some ideas that she wanted to discuss with Peng Jia.
Of course, since Yang Yiyi has come along, as an old hand in the laboratory, she will naturally guide Chen Zhou.
After the two entered the laboratory, Peng Jia joked: "Does a great mathematician have time to study physics experiments?"
Chen Zhou didn't really care about the teasing. He smiled and said, "Senior, isn't it that I've wanted to come for a long time, but you didn't let me come?"
Hearing this, Peng Jia smiled. It seemed that this kid still remembered that he had refused to let him "take refuge" in the laboratory.
Lin Xiaoen and Ma Zihao also came over at this time. The two looked at each other. Lin Xiaoen smiled and said, "Junior brother, you misunderstood me. Those days were really laboratory tests. We couldn't let you come. Otherwise, why wouldn't we save you?"
Ma Zihao also said: "Chen Zhou, you just did something big. It's not good to hide. There's nothing wrong with showing your face more. Besides, you are so handsome and photogenic."
As he spoke, Ma Zihao pushed up the black-framed glasses on his nose.
Hearing this, Chen Zhou suddenly felt that it made sense, as it really touched his heart.
With my handsome appearance, even if I come to the laboratory, there is no guarantee that these reporter friends will be attracted by my temperament.
It would be bad if the laboratory entrance was blocked.
Sure enough, when Senior Ma looks at a problem, he can always grasp the key!
Thinking of this, Chen Zhou no longer cared about the previous teasing. After all, teasing was teasing, but the fact was that he was handsome!
He smiled and said, "It seems that I misunderstood Senior Sister..."
Peng Jia looked at the expression on Chen Zhou's face and smiled softly, "Okay, senior sister accepts your apology."
Afterwards, Peng Jia arranged for Yang Yiyi to take Chen Zhou to familiarize themselves with the various devices in the laboratory and the various diodes that they had not yet experimented with.
As for Chen Zhou's specific work, she didn't dare to arrange it on her own without Dean Yang's instructions.
Under the guidance of Yang Yiyi, Chen Zhou followed her around the laboratory.
Yang Yiyi pointed to the object in front of her and said, "This is a pre-charged plasma anode rod pinch diode, which is similar in structure to the anode rod pinch diode we are using in our experiments now."
"The difference is that a plasma gun is installed downstream of the anode rod, which injects plasma before the cathode emits electrons, causing a short circuit between the cathode and the cathode."
"This is a negative polarity reentry rod pinch diode..."
"This is a paraxial diode..."
"This is a magnetically dipped diode..."
“…”
After Yang Yiyi finished her introduction, she added: "These are probably the mainstream focusing diodes in the world today. They will be used in subsequent experiments."
Chen Zhou looked at the diode in front of him, then looked at Yang Yiyi. Is this what she had gained after staying here for a week?
Chen Zhou could feel that Yang Yiyi's explanation of various diodes was not only not awkward, but also had a sense of being told in a leisurely manner.
It was as if she had fully understood and mastered the characteristics of various diodes.
Chen Zhou praised: "Great, Yiyi!"
Hearing the compliment, Yang Yiyi smiled slightly, took out two sheets of A4 paper from the folder in her hand and handed them to Chen Zhou.
"This is a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of various focusing diodes that I made, as well as a comparison of typical experimental results of focusing diodes."
Chen Zhou took it and looked at it carefully. He had to say that Yang Yiyi had done a lot of homework.
Just the contents on these two pieces of paper require consulting a lot of literature.
It seems that while I am working hard to improve myself, she is also working hard to improve herself.
After reading the contents of the two pieces of paper, Chen Zhou asked softly, "Yiyi, have you ever thought about making outstanding research results in particle accelerator experiments?"
Yang Yiyi was slightly startled, thought for a moment, and said, "Intense particle beam physics is a young discipline. In the research of diode physics and beam transmission physics, although there are many physical models of diodes, the impedance control of diodes, the stability of the focusing process, and the generation of large-area uniform beams have not been solved well in practical applications."
"The emittance increase effect during the transmission and acceleration of strong beams, the beam collapse effect, the transmission of strong beams in the atmosphere and vacuum, the influence of laser guidance technology on beam quality, etc. are all good research topics."
At this point, Yang Yiyi paused, her eyes sparkling as she said, "Of course I hope to produce outstanding research results."
Yang Yiyi's words once again made Chen Zhou realize this girl's preparation in this regard.
Chen Zhou looked at Yang Yiyi and said solemnly: "We will definitely be able to produce outstanding results!"
Yang Yiyi looked up at Chen Zhou and smiled.
She felt that Chen Zhou was at his most handsome when he said this.
He is always so confident.
And this confidence also infected her.
