Noun
(physics) Initialism of megaelectron volt, 10 eV
(physics, US) Initialism of million electron volts, 10 eV
meV
Abbreviation of millielectronvolt.
About 6 MeV of the fission-input energy is supplied by the simple binding of an extra neutron to the heavy nucleus via the strong force; however, in many fissionable isotopes, this amount of energy is not enough for fission. Source: Internet
About two months after the test, a new component was isolated emitting high-energy α-particles (7.1 MeV) with a half-life of about a day. Source: Internet
After separation, the two drops would be driven apart by their mutual electric repulsion and would acquire high speed and hence a very large energy, about 200 MeV in all; where could that energy come from? Source: Internet
Also, an average of 2.5 neutrons are emitted, with a mean kinetic energy per neutron of ~2 MeV (total of 4.8 MeV). Source: Internet
A gamma ray with roughly 2 MeV of energy is produced in this reaction, but because this is below the detector's energy threshold they are not observable. Source: Internet
An alpha particle can be thought of as being inside a potential barrier whose walls are 25 MeV. Source: Internet
