What are Kiloelectron-volt and Ton

A kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy equal to 1.60218 x 10^-16 joules. It's commonly used in the field of particle physics to describe the kinetic energy of particles accelerated by an electric potential of one volt.

A ton of explosives is a unit of energy commonly used to describe the energy released in an explosion. It is equivalent to the energy released by detonating one ton of trinitrotoluene (TNT) and is roughly 4.184 gigajoules.
