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.
Dekagram
A dekagram (dag) is a unit of mass equal to ten grams.
History/Origin
The dekagram was introduced as part of the metric system to simplify conversions within the metric units of mass, particularly in the context of grams and kilograms, and has been used primarily in countries adopting the metric system since the 19th century.
Current Use
Dekagrams are used in various fields such as cooking, jewelry, and scientific measurements, especially in regions where the metric system is standard, although grams and kilograms are more commonly used globally.
