Convert Muon mass to ton (assay) (US)
Please provide values below to convert Muon mass [m_mu] to ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)], or Convert ton (assay) (US) to Muon mass.
How to Convert Muon Mass to Ton (Assay) (Us)
1 m_mu = 6.457822608e-27 AT (US)
Example: convert 15 m_mu to AT (US):
15 m_mu = 15 × 6.457822608e-27 AT (US) = 9.686733912e-26 AT (US)

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 (Assay) (Us)
The ton (assay) (US), symbolized as AT (US), is a unit of weight used primarily in the assay and precious metals industry, equivalent to 31.1034768 grams.
History/Origin
The assay ton originated in the United States as a standardized measure for precious metal content in assays, aligning with the metric system but retaining the traditional 'ton' terminology for industry consistency.
Current Use
Today, the assay ton (AT US) is used mainly in the precious metals industry for assay purposes, especially in the context of gold and silver purity measurements, and is part of weight and mass conversions within the 'Common Converters' category.
