= Minicharged particle
{wiki=Minicharged_particle}
Minicharged particles are hypothetical particles in particle physics that possess a fractional electric charge, typically much smaller than the elementary charge (the charge of an electron or proton, denoted as \\( e \\)). Instead of carrying a whole number of the fundamental charge, these particles might carry a charge that is a fraction of \\( e \\), such as \\( \\epsilon e \\), where \\( \\epsilon \\) is a small dimensionless number.
