Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does Electron cross section measure?
-
Electron cross section quantifies the effective area that characterizes the likelihood of an electron interacting with a target particle or nucleus.
-
What is a Circular mil used for?
-
A Circular mil is primarily used to specify the cross-sectional area of round electrical conductors.
-
Why are Electron cross section values converted to Circular mil?
-
Converting facilitates linking microscopic electron interaction areas to macroscopic electrical conductor cross sections for interdisciplinary analysis.
Key Terminology
-
Electron cross section
-
An effective area representing the probability of an electron interacting with a target, expressed in units of area.
-
Circular mil
-
A non-SI unit of area equal to the area of a circle with a diameter of one mil, mainly used for round electrical conductor areas.
