Some Key energies

Some key energies listed in order of decreasing size.

  • 1 electron volt (eV) = 1.6x10-19 J
I'll add to this list when I get time..
Energy Notes
1.2x1028 Planck Energy
~ 3x1025 GUTs unification scale
strengths of weak, electromagnetic and strong interactions converge.
the "Energy Desert"
~ fewx1012 Max accessible by the LHC
(when online in 2006+)
~ 2x1011 Rest Mass of the Top Quark
~ 9x109 Rest Mass of the intermediate vector bosons
(W+, W+, Z0)
~ 1x109 Rest Mass of a proton,neutron
~ 5x105 Rest Mass of an electron
~ 1.4x101 Binding electron of electron in hygrogen atom
(in ground state)
