WordDefinition
photonnoun(particle physics) The quantum of light and other electromagnetic energy, regarded as a discrete particle having zero rest mass, no electric charge, and an indefinitely long lifetime. It is a gauge boson.
super-photonnounAlternative form of superphoton. [(rare, physics, figurative) A photonic Bose-Einstein condensate, comprised of thousands of photons sufficiently concentrated and cooled in an optical well.]
superphotonnoun(rare, physics, figurative) A photonic Bose-Einstein condensate, comprised of thousands of photons sufficiently concentrated and cooled in an optical well.
proto-photonnoun(physics, rare) A theoretical but not yet detected particle proposed to explain, among other things, the mechanisms of gravity; a gauge boson.

luxonnoun(physics) Any particle that travels at exactly the speed of light and has zero mass: typically a photon.
