Elementary charge is . Robert A. Millikan's oil drop experiment first measured the magnitude of the elementary charge in 1909. In some natural unit systems, such as the system of atomic units, "e" functions as the unit of electric charge, that is "e" is equal to 1 e in those unit systems. The use of elementary charge as a unit was promoted by George Johnstone Stoney in 1874 for the first system of natural units, called Stoney units. Later, he proposed the name "electron" for this unit. At the time, the particle we now call the electron was not yet discovered and
Lightest Supersymmetric Particle Lightest Supersymmetric Particle In particle physics, the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is the generic name given to the lightest of the additional hypothetical particles found in supersymmetric models. In models with R-parity conservation, the LSP is stable; in other words, the LSP cannot decay into any Standard Model particle, since all SM particles have the opposite R-parity. There is extensive observational evidence for an additional component of the matter density in the Universe that goes under the name dark matter. The LSP of supersymmetric models is a dark matter candidate and is a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP). The LSP
