In fact, Xu Mang had completely predicted it. That night, all the researchers from the Jefferson Laboratory returned to their work place. By the way, some of them were called back to the conference room from home at ten o'clock in the evening to discuss and discuss the problem together.

Modify the next experiment.

at first,

In the PR experiment, the experimenter fires a beam of electrons at hydrogen molecules and measures how the movement direction of some electrons is deflected. The experimental data are then extrapolated to lower electron energies to determine the proton radius.

But this means that some theoretical assumptions must be made that may distort the final results, and perhaps the problem arises here.

The theoretical assumptions are wrong...

final,

After hard thinking by researchers at Jefferson Laboratory, it was decided that the new PR experiment would inject hydrogen molecules directly into the vacuum tube through which the electron beam passes, instead of keeping the hydrogen molecules in a metal container like many previous experiments.

This means that no electrons can hit the metal and interfere with the measurement, which measures how the electron beam scatters both protons and electrons in the hydrogen atoms.

Distinguishing these two types of scattering situations is entirely to eliminate a major source of error.

Hydrogen atom density fluctuations.

"Ahem!"

"After working hard all night, everyone rested all morning. In the afternoon, we conducted new experiments."

but,

No one wants to go to sleep,

Everyone is looking forward to the results of the experiment and whether the final number is 0.833 femtometers.

In desperation,

The new experiment was conducted with everyone staying up all night without any rest. However, based on previous experience, this experiment took about three hours from start to finish, or even more than three hours.

"By the way..."

"What do you think the final result will be?" A researcher asked his colleague next to him: "That's right... you just came here this morning."

"What happened yesterday?"

The confused researcher asked anxiously: "It seems...Professor Xu Mang has proposed a brand new concept, right?"

Brand new concept?

He directly overturned other people's research results.

"well..."

"It's hard to explain in a word. In short, Professor Xu Mang overturned our test data." The researcher said bitterly: "He only relied on the data we provided, and then used pure mathematical calculations to conclude that the proton radius is 0.833 femtometers."

"ah?"

"Are you telling a story?"

"Story... If all of this is a story, that would be great..." The researcher sighed and said helplessly: "I have a bad premonition... Maybe the new PR experiment,

The measured result might be...0.833."

This is not a lie,

What theoretical physicists are best at is using numbers, formulas, ideas and logic at the tip of their pen to prove the truth of all things. As a world-famous theoretical physicist, Professor Xu Mang has this ability.
