Orion Crest, Series_1

Chapter 83: Not as expected?

　　The Polignac Conjecture has hit a bottleneck, Orion has read a lot of literature and tried a lot of methods, but hasn't been able to find an idea that works.

　　Recently, there are some interesting papers on Arxiv that cite his paper in Annals of Mathematics, discussing the methods he used in proving the twin prime conjecture, and exploring ideas for proving the Polignac conjecture.

　　There were some interesting points in it, but it always felt like something was still missing.

　　Just as Orion was about to put the problem away for a couple of days to change his mind, he received an email from CERN.

　　[Orion:

　　CERN's recent research results are exciting, the characteristic peak at 750 GeV is getting clearer and clearer, and the confidence levels on the ATLAS and CMS detectors have reached 1.9 sigma and 2.1 sigma respectively. I believe that as the number of collisions accumulates, we will definitely find out the secret hidden behind the characteristic peak in this energy region... ...so our work has to speed up.

　　I'm keeping an eye on the Hadron Collider experiment from my side, and I'll be the first to let you know if there's any new discovery.

　　In addition, based on the latest data collected by the LHC, I surmise that the particles present there may formally be the last piece of the puzzle on the Standard Model that we are looking for. And this piece of the puzzle is beyond the predictions of antiquated supersymmetric theories.

　　If this possibility is conclusive, there is no doubt that our work will be great.

　　Regarding the complementary theory of supersymmetry, my students and I are currently at a critical stage in our work progress. While working on the theory about signals in the 750 GeV energy region, some interesting data have come up on several detectors.

　　Whether or not you are capable of processing these data, I hope you will be able to get back to me as soon as possible. After all, there are just too many people staring at signals in this energy region right now, and we have to race against time.

　　In addition, as per usual I still have to make it clear that regarding the contents of the attachment please make sure to keep it confidential and not to show it to a third person. If anyone gives you a hard time about it, please be sure to let me know.

　　]

　　Since it was a work email, the old man wrote it briefly and succinctly.

　　As for whether it was okay or not, at this point Orion certainly wouldn't say no.

　　After thinking about it, he tapped a line on the keyboard and replied, [...... I will process the data as soon as possible, about three days will be enough. You can rest assured.]

　　The compressed file in the email attachment wasn't big, but it was also about a hundred megabytes, of which there wasn't much plain text data, and the ones that took up a lot of space were mainly some pictures and chart files and so on.

　　After decompressing it, Orion clicked on the text file and looked at the contents inside and opened it for a few moments.

　　However, at this time, his brows were slightly wrinkled.

　　It felt a bit ......

　　Not quite the same as what he had imagined?

　　United States, Massachusetts.

　　A plane lands at Boston International Airport.

　　Frank Wilczek, who had just flown back to Boston from CERN headquarters in Switzerland, got into the student's car.
