| Details | The nanobarn (nb) is a unit of area used in particle physics to describe the probability of a specific event occurring during a collision between particles, such as the scattering or absorption of particles. It is derived from the unit barn (b), which is equal to 10^-28 square meters. A nanobarn is one billionth (10^-9) of a barn, and is therefore equal to 10^-37 square meters. The choice of this specific unit in particle physics stems from the fact that typical cross-section areas of atomic nuclei are on the order of 10^-28 square meters, making it an intuitively convenient scale to work with when dealing with phenomena at such small scales. |
