GeV means "gigaelectron volts" (1 billion, or 1,000,000,000 eV)

MeV means "megaelectron volts" (1 million, or 1,000,000 eV)

What is the fundamental quantity of electricity indicating the ability to do work of forcing electrons to move?

The Electron Volt. Its the energy required to move one electron through a Potential Difference of one Volt. Commonly used to decribe size of particle accelerators 1 GeV , one Giga electron Volt , 1 X1012 electron Volts.


How does GeV relate to quarks?

GeV (giga-electron-volt) is simply a unit of energy, often used for subatomic particles. Because in the subatomic world the mass-energy equivalence is much more obvious than in the large-scale world, it is often also used as a unit of mass. MeV/c2 or GeV/c2 is technically more correct, but the c2 factor is often implied, i.e., omitted.


How can a neutrino or charm quark have a mass of less than zero?

For now, no particle has a mass less than zero. The Electron Neutrino for example has a mass of 0.0000079 eV (Or something like that). And the Charm quark has a mass of 1.29 GeV. Maybe you mistook it with spin or charge?


Why was it so difficult for scienitist to find the sixth quark?

Because they needed to produce a collision with an energy around 200 GeV, the top quark's rest mass, to pop it into existence. There are currently only two accelerators in the world that can do this, the LHC at CERN and the Tevatron at Fermilab. As a point of reference, a mass of 200 GeV/c2 is about 200 times more massive than a proton.


What is the definition of photon?

Photons are the carriers of the electromagnetic force. Photons always come in "wavelengths." These wavelengths differ from gamma rays (wavelength 10-12 meters) to ELF (extremely low frequency) radio waves (wavelength 100000 kilometers). Visible light ranges from 390 to 750 nm (nanometers, or 10-9 meters).Photons are also the reason positive and negatively charged particles attract, as gluons are the reason different color charges attract. These attractions are caused by the exchange, or swapping, of the gluons or photons, classified as "gauge bosons", between two particles that interact via any force. Gauge bosons, in definition, are the carriers of forces. Other gauge bosons are, as mentioned earlier, the gluon (the carrier of the strong force, or color charge), the W and Z bosons (they both are carriers of the weak force, but the Z is neutral, and the W can be charged), and the hypothetical "graviton", or the carrier of gravity.The "wave-particle" theory is a hard concept to understand. I've heard from Steven Pollock, on a CD I bought, an excellent explanation. He says," All forces have a "field." When you "jiggle" this field, it creates a ripple, like a rock thrown in a pond does. This ripple, if in the electromagnetic field, is the photon."Photons also carry different amounts of "eV", or "electron volts", like other particles. Mass of particles is also measured in eV. If a photon is carrying, say, 1.022 MeV (mega electron volt), it could, at any given time, turn into a positron and an electron. This matter-antimatter pair annihilates, and releases a photon carrying the same amount of energy, 1.022 MeV, or maybe a series of particles with 1.022 MeV/c2 (from E=mc2) worth of mass. The mass of each of these particles (the positron and electron) has to be 5.11 MeV/c2, or half of 1.022 MeV. The mass of the proton is .938 GeV (giga electron volt)/c2. So when a proton and an antiproton collide and annihilate, they release a photon with 1.876 GeV, a series of particles with 1.876 GeV/c2 worth of mass, or a combination of the two.A photon is a particle of electromagnetic radiation, for example a gamma ray, x-ray, light, etc.A quantum of electromagnetic radiation; an elementary particle that is its own antiparticle

How small is a boson?

Since bosons are only hypothetical, the mass estimates would be very broad, but on the larger scales they would be 115-185 GeV/c (electron volts).And 1 GeV/c = 1.783×10−27 kg
