Chapter 73: Improving the theory

　　Orion thought about it and shook his head, "No, I'm looking for Professor Greer for something, I have to go to the office on the R2 floor in a while."

　　When he visited the site last time, Professor Greer promised him that when the experiment was over, he would take the time to help him collate those data collected during the testing of the tunnel.

　　Just a moment ago, he received an email from Greer stating that the data had already been collated and asking him to take a trip to the office with a USB stick.

　　Although it wouldn't take long to go and copy the data, Orion was going to use his leisure time in the evening to work on this data.

　　After all, he had to work on Stewart's project during the day, and only weekends and evenings could be utilised.

　　Joannes saw right through Orion's thoughts, "Don't tell me it's that thing last time."

　　Orion: "You got me."

　　Joannes, a defeated look on his face, sighed and said, "Well, I admire your persistence ...... though I'd say it's useless."

　　Orion laughed and said, "How do you know if it's useless unless you try?"

　　That's how he was, when it came to maths, and it was the same when it came to physics.

　　For the characteristic peak appearing at 750 GeV, he is still interested until now.

　　Although both Joannes and Prof Greer said that that flat bulge can't be called a characteristic peak, and the high probability is that it might just be a two-photon signal, and even collision might not happen. This is because the energy it carries is simply too exaggerated, even five times that of the Higgs particle!

　　Yet Orion doesn't think so.

　　The 750 GeV may seem "heavy", but that doesn't mean it's not possible.

　　Delving into the frontiers of any discipline requires imagination, and this suspected characteristic peak bulge, in Orion's view, is already imaginative.

　　Even if, in the opinion of two experts specialising in quantum chromodynamics, the phenomenon violates "common sense" and is not worth studying. But the common sense of physics doesn't apply to maths-born researchers like Orion.

　　How did quantum chromodynamics develop?

　　Wasn't it by overturning "common sense"?

　　Even if he was wrong, it didn't matter, it was just an attempt with no cost of failure.

　　After dinner, Orion stopped by the R2 building, and Professor Greer was waiting for him in his office.

　　"All the data you asked for is inside this USB stick, including the data collected on the CMS probe, I asked for a copy for you as well. But to be honest, this data is of no use at all, we've only been working on the collision in the 1TeV energy region for less than an hour, and this stuff can't yield any useful experimental results at all, other than testing the sensitivity of the individual detectors."

　　Orion: "Thanks ...... I'm just trying to satisfy my curiosity, whether it works or not I want to try and study it."

　　"Curiosity?" Professor Greer smiled and gave him an encouraging look, "I wish you good luck then."

... ...

　　The data is here, how to deal with it becomes the question.

　　Starting with the theory of quantum chromodynamics lacked theoretical support.
