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.
Ounce
An ounce (oz) is a unit of weight or mass used primarily in the United States and other countries that use the imperial system. It is equal to 1/16 of a pound or approximately 28.35 grams.
History/Origin
The ounce has origins in ancient Roman and medieval systems of weight measurement. It was historically used in various forms across different cultures, with the modern avoirdupois ounce standardized in the 14th century in England to facilitate trade and commerce.
Current Use
Today, the ounce is commonly used to measure food ingredients, precious metals, and other small quantities of weight in the United States and other countries using the imperial system. It is also used in the context of jewelry, cooking, and postal services.
