We compare our result with experimental data to estimate an upper bound of the order 10−20 m for the minimal length. 2014 artículo científico 0103-9733 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=46431122013 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=464 Brazilian Journal of Physics application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Física Brazilian Journal of Physics (Brasil) Num.2-3 Vol.44
