Sabin
The sabin is a unit of luminous intensity used to measure the brightness of light sources, specifically in photometry.
History/Origin
Named after the French physiologist Charles-Édouard Guillaume, the sabin was introduced in the early 20th century as a unit to quantify luminous intensity, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts related to light measurement.
Current Use
The sabin is rarely used today; it has been largely replaced by the candela in the International System of Units (SI). However, it may still appear in historical data or specialized fields related to light measurement.
Electron Cross Section
Electron cross section (ECS) is a measure of the probability of an electron interacting with a target particle or material, typically expressed in units of area such as square meters or barns.
History/Origin
The concept of cross section originated in nuclear and particle physics to quantify interaction probabilities. The electron cross section has been developed through experimental measurements and theoretical models since the early 20th century, playing a crucial role in understanding electron-matter interactions.
Current Use
ECS is used in fields such as plasma physics, electron microscopy, and radiation physics to analyze electron scattering, collision processes, and material properties, aiding in the design of experiments and interpretation of electron interaction data.
