A slug is a unit of mass in the Imperial and US customary systems, defined as the mass accelerated by 1 ft/s² by a force of one pound-force.

Why convert from slug to neutron mass?

Converting helps bridge macroscopic engineering units with fundamental physics units used for calculations involving subatomic particles and nuclear reactions.

Is slug commonly used worldwide?

No, slug is primarily used in US customary contexts and is rare outside of that system.
