What is a ton (long) [ton (UK)]?

A ton (long) [ton (UK)] is an imperial mass unit equal to 2,240 avoirdupois pounds or about 1,016.0469088 kilograms, historically used in the UK and maritime trade.

What does deuteron mass represent?

Deuteron mass is the rest mass of the deuteron nucleus, composed of one proton and one neutron, used in nuclear physics and related high-precision measurements.

Why convert ton (long) to deuteron mass?

This conversion helps bridge traditional macroscopic mass units with fundamental particle masses important in nuclear reaction calculations and astrophysical modeling.
