It should read GeV (giga) correct?

  It's hard to tell without referring to external sources. It could be either GeV or TeV. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion

    BeV would never mean TeV outside of the UK.

      The long scale where "billion" means 1e12 is not that rare: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales#Long_scale_users https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales#Long_sca...

        But hasn't been used in the UK for at least a generation.
  • Falcorian 8y ago
    Confusing, yes. In this case, it's GeV.
• petschge 8y ago
  Yes. The early seventies is when we so tens to hundres of GeV and even the LHC has only reached 6.5 TeV (per direction), well short of the alternative interpretation of 200 TeV.
