What is a square decimeter?

A square decimeter (dm²) is an SI-derived unit of area equal to a square with sides of one decimeter, equivalent to 0.01 square meters or 100 square centimeters.

What does Electron cross section measure?

Electron cross section quantifies the effective area representing the probability of an electron interacting with a particle, such as scattering or ionizing it.

Why do the converted values have very large numbers?

Because Electron cross section units correspond to atomic scale interaction probabilities, the numerical conversion from macroscopic area units leads to extremely large numbers.
