Muon Mass
The muon mass (m_mu) is the rest mass of the muon particle, approximately 105.66 MeV/c² or 1.8835 × 10⁻28 kilograms.
History/Origin
The muon was discovered in 1936 by Carl Anderson and Seth Neddermeyer during cosmic ray experiments. Its mass was later measured and confirmed through particle physics experiments, establishing it as a fundamental lepton similar to the electron but significantly more massive.
Current Use
The muon mass is used in particle physics calculations, experimental physics, and in the calibration of detectors involving muons. It also aids in understanding fundamental particle properties and interactions within the Standard Model.
Planck Mass
The Planck mass (m_P) is a fundamental physical constant representing a mass scale derived from natural units, approximately 2.176 × 10^-8 kilograms.
History/Origin
Introduced by Max Planck in 1899 as part of his system of natural units, the Planck mass emerged from combining fundamental constants to define a universal mass scale in theoretical physics.
Current Use
The Planck mass is primarily used in theoretical physics, especially in quantum gravity and high-energy physics, to express natural units and scale phenomena near the Planck scale.
