How to Convert Square Chain to Electron Cross Section
1 ch^2 = 4.0468564224e+54 ECS
Example: convert 15 ch^2 to ECS:
15 ch^2 = 15 × 4.0468564224e+54 ECS = 6.0702846336e+55 ECS
Square Chain to Electron Cross Section Conversion Table
| square chain | Electron cross section |

Square Chain
A square chain (ch^2) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one chain (66 feet) each, equivalent to 4356 square feet.
History/Origin
The square chain originated in land measurement practices in England, particularly used in surveying and land division during the 19th century, especially in the context of the Imperial system.
Current Use
Today, the square chain is largely obsolete and rarely used outside historical or land survey contexts; modern measurements typically employ acres or square meters.
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.
