Gigagram
A gigagram (Gg) is a unit of mass equal to one billion grams or one million kilograms.
History/Origin
The gigagram is part of the metric system, introduced as a standard unit for large masses in scientific and industrial contexts, with its usage becoming more common in the 20th century as measurements for large quantities expanded.
Current Use
Gigagrams are used in fields such as engineering, environmental science, and industry to quantify large masses, including biomass, emissions, and bulk materials.
Deuteron Mass
The deuteron mass (m_d) is the mass of a deuteron, which is the nucleus of deuterium consisting of one proton and one neutron, approximately 3.3436 × 10^-27 kilograms.
History/Origin
The deuteron mass has been determined through nuclear physics experiments involving mass spectrometry and nuclear reactions, with precise measurements becoming available in the 20th century as experimental techniques advanced.
Current Use
The deuteron mass is used in nuclear physics, astrophysics, and related fields to calculate nuclear reactions, binding energies, and in the calibration of mass spectrometers involving deuterium nuclei.
