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.
Ton (Metric)
The metric ton (t) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms or approximately 2,204.62 pounds.
History/Origin
The metric ton was introduced as part of the metric system in the late 19th century to standardize measurements of mass globally, replacing various local units with a single, universal unit.
Current Use
The metric ton is widely used in industries such as shipping, manufacturing, and agriculture for measuring large quantities of materials and commodities worldwide.
