Soon after, they calculated that the lightest glueball would have a mass (expressed in energy units) of about 1,707 megaelectronvolts (MeV). At the MAMI electron accelerator at the University of Mainz in Germany, researchers use electron beams of 855 megaelectronvolts to produce gamma rays for investigating proton polarization and related phenomena. |
