A square chain, abbreviated as 'ch^2', is a unit of area measurement that is equal to the area of a square with each side measuring one chain in length. A chain is a unit of length that is 66 feet or 22 yards long. Therefore, one square chain is equivalent to 4,356 square feet or 404.7 square meters.
Definition of BarnA barn, symbolized as 'b', is a unit of area commonly used in nuclear physics to measure the effective cross-sectional area of atomic nuclei and the probability of interaction between particles. One barn is equivalent to 1x10^-28 square meters. Its name is whimsically derived from the phrase 'as big as a barn', indicating a large target area for particle collisions.

1 ch^2 = 4.04685642e+28 b
1 b = 2.47105381e-29 ch^2
Example 1:
convert 2 ch^2 to b:
2 ch^2 = 2 × 4.04685642e+28 b = 8.09371284e+28 b
Example 2:
convert 0.5 ch^2 to b:
0.5 ch^2 = 0.5 × 4.04685642e+28 b = 2.02342821e+28 b
The Square Chain to Electron Cross Section Converter is rooted in the transition from agricultural land measurement to particle physics. While square chains were historically used for land, barns were adopted in the mid-20th century to describe nuclear cross sections, leading to the need for such conversion tools.
Explore the practical applications of converting square chains to barns, a process integral to various fields of science and technology.
Example 1:
Convert 3 ch^2 to b:
3 ch^2 = 3 × 4.04685642e+28 b = 1.214056926e+29 b
Example 2:
Convert 0.75 ch^2 to b:
0.75 ch^2 = 0.75 × 4.04685642e+28 b = 3.035142315e+28 b
