Description
Proton with 300 GeV (gigaelectronvolt) energy producing 26 charged particles in the 30 inch hydrogen bubble chamber at Fermilab, 1973. In physics, the electronvolt s a unit of energy equal to approximately 160 zeptojoules. By definition, it is the amount of energy gained (or lost) by the charge of a single electron moved across an electric potential difference of one volt. In physics, a charged particle is a particle with an electric charge. It may be an ion, such as a molecule or atom with a surplus or deficit of electrons relative to protons. It can be the electrons and protons themselves, as well as other elementary particles, like positrons. Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) is a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory specializing in high-energy particle physics.
