High-energy physics has always been a hot field of scientific research. In addition to CERN, there are large-scale and expensive laboratories around the world, including the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the United States, the Argonne National Laboratory in the United States, and the Stanford Linear Accelerator in the United States.

Center, Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA, USA National Fund

Mi Laboratory, Helmholtz National Research Center in Germany, Mordan Underground Laboratory in France, the famous Cavendish Laboratory, Kurchatov Institute of Lucia Scientific Research Center, Neon National Institute of High Energy Physics; and

China’s National Laboratory of Heavy Ion Accelerator, Key Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, etc.…≦

However, each of these laboratories has its own advantages and disadvantages. Those laboratories with national names in the United States are closely related to national security. I am afraid that a Chinese will not be easily allowed to enter. Even if Lu Qiu changed his nationality and became an American citizen, he would enter.

It is not easy to get in touch with the most core things in a laboratory, let alone cross the transparent ceiling to the upper floors and let the laboratory conduct experiments according to its own designed plan.

The same goes for those in Germany, France, Lucia and Neon. Their protection against outsiders is much stricter than that of the United States, a country of immigrants. Moreover, the investment and research facilities in those laboratories may not necessarily be better than those in the United States.

The Cavendish Laboratory is equivalent to the Physics Department of Cambridge. The founder is Maxwell, the famous founder of electromagnetic field theory. Among his successors are Joseph John Thomson and Rutherford; since Cavendish

From its birth to 1990, the Xu Laboratory has produced a total of 29 Nobel Prize winners, and its capabilities are simply jaw-dropping.

But after all, it is a university laboratory with relatively limited funds and equipment. If it is just learning theoretical knowledge, it is not enough, but it is not enough to participate in or even lead large-scale experiments! This does not match Lu Qiujian's needs.

As for China's laboratories, they are still in their infancy. Although the country's economy has been developing rapidly in recent years, there are many places to spend money. It is far from the point where there will be so much money that I don't know how to use it. For these two

The laboratory's support is currently not as strong as Lu Qiujian wants.

Therefore, CERN became the best choice. Many people may not have heard of the name of this institution, but its research results are closely related to almost everyone.

The world's first website, first web server, and first web browser world-wide-web were born here. In the 1980s, Tim Berners-Lee entered Cern's particle laboratory. At that time, the laboratory

The chief researcher is the familiar Ding Zhaozhong; there he accepted a task, Cern commissioned him to develop a software that allows laboratories distributed around the world to quickly share information through computer networks.

By 1991, he successfully completed this plan and brought the world into the Internet age.

Of course, the Internet is just a by-product of Cern. It has also achieved impressive results in the field of high-energy physics. It is currently the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. In 1954, it was established by twelve countries including Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy.

Jointly initiated and established, it now has 21 member countries.

The laboratory is located near Geneva, Switzerland, and has more than 3,000 full-time employees. There are approximately 6,500 scientists and engineers from 80 countries, representing more than 500 university institutions, conducting experiments at Cern. This accounts for approximately 10% of the world's

Half of the particle physics circle.

In addition to its unparalleled talent pool, it also has super scientific research equipment such as linear accelerators, proton synchrotrons, super proton synchrotrons, antiproton reducers and the most important large hadron accelerator.

Excluding the construction of large-scale equipment, Cern's annual budget is about 1.1 billion Swiss francs. This cost is more than twice the scientific research funding of the European Aeronautics and Space Administration. Globally, it is only smaller than the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States.

There are few money-attracting monsters.

There is no shortage of talents, equipment, and funds, and there are no identity restrictions like other national laboratories. At least for now, there is no more suitable place than here.

There are several ways to enter Cern. One is to directly apply to work or study here, and the other is to take a roundabout route to a university or research institute that has a cooperative relationship with Cern, and then enter here.

Lu Qiujian chose the second path. Firstly, China is not a formal member of Cern. So it is difficult for Chinese people to become regular employees here; secondly, if they want to work here, the starting price for a PhD degree is, Lu Qiujian

Jian currently only has a PhD in mathematics, which is not very relevant.

As for coming here to study. Although there are also many Chinese people here who come here through their work units for long-term or short-term study, the premise of this path is to have a work unit that cooperates with CRN, which turns to the second step.

Two paths.

There are also several domestic colleges and institutions that cooperate with here, but since you want to learn, why not find a better tutor? Although there are great people like Witten and Dyson in the United States, the distance from there to Geneva is too far.

, far less convenient than coming from Europe.

Taking into account factors such as distance, close relationship with Cern, and the level of mentors, Lu Qiujian set his sights on Germany and France. These two countries are very close to Geneva and are one of the core sponsoring countries of Cern.

It also bears a large share of Cern's operating expenses, and its status in Cern is equivalent to that of a permanent member of the United Nations in the United Nations.

As for the specific colleges and tutors, Lu Qiujian is still screening. His screening method is to first find the colleges and universities in these two countries that have cooperative relations with Cern and accept Chinese students, and then find out the physics students who have the closest relationship with Cern.

Select the departments with higher rankings in the world university physics department rankings, and then go to the official webpages of these departments to collect relevant information about the instructors.

Then make a list of these tutors, find out their status in Cern, collect their papers for study, and then analyze their academic level, personal personality and other related information based on the papers, and finally score each condition to filter out

Which supervisor is most suitable for you, apply for his doctoral degree.

As for whether the other party will admit him? Lu Qiujian has never worried. With the recommendation letters of Edward Witten and Freeman Dyson, plus his own strength, as long as the other party is not their mortal enemy, there are still others in the world.

A college you can’t go to?

Of course, before that, he has to pass the language assessment of the target country, just like IELTS and TOEFL when going to an English-speaking country; whether it is French or German, Lu Qiujian is already prepared, as long as he does not forget the registration time.
