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.
Hectogram
A hectogram (hg) is a unit of mass equal to 100 grams.
History/Origin
The hectogram is part of the metric system, introduced in the 19th century as a decimal-based system for standardizing measurements, primarily used in scientific and everyday contexts.
Current Use
The hectogram is used in some countries for measuring food and other small quantities, especially in the context of nutrition labels and grocery shopping, but is less common than grams and kilograms.
