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.
Pound
The pound (lbs) is a unit of weight or mass commonly used in the United States and other countries, equivalent to 16 ounces or approximately 0.453592 kilograms.
History/Origin
The pound has origins in ancient Roman and Anglo-Saxon systems, evolving over centuries into its current form. It was historically based on various standards, including the Tower pound and the avoirdupois pound, with the latter becoming the standard in most countries.
Current Use
Today, the pound is primarily used in the United States for measuring body weight, food products, and other goods. It remains a standard unit in certain industries and is part of the imperial and US customary measurement systems.
