What is a megagram (Mg)?

A megagram is an SI-derived unit of mass equal to 1,000,000 grams or 1,000 kilograms, equivalent to a metric tonne.

What does the deuteron mass represent?

Deuteron mass is the rest mass of the deuteron nucleus, consisting of one proton and one neutron, used primarily in nuclear physics and precision mass measurements.

Why convert megagrams to deuteron mass?

Converting megagrams to deuteron mass enables translating large macroscopic masses into nuclear-scale units needed for nuclear physics calculations such as reaction energies and isotope properties.
