Mole (unit) in chemistry as a convenient way to express amounts of reactants and products of chemical reactions. For example, the chemical equation can be interpreted to mean that 2 mol dihydrogen (H) and 1 mol dioxygen (O) react to form 2 mol water (HO). The mole may also be used to represent the number of atoms, ions, or other entities in a given sample of a substance. The concentration of a solution is commonly expressed by its molarity, defined as the amount of dissolved substance per unit volume of solution, for which the unit typically used is moles per litre (mol/l).
Cross section (physics) of the colliding system are , and , before and after the collision respectively, the differential cross section is given by where the on-shell matrix is defined by in terms of the S-matrix. Here is the Dirac delta function. The computation of the S-matrix is the main goal of the scattering theory. Although the SI unit of total cross sections is m, smaller units are usually used in practice. In nuclear and particle physics, the conventional unit is the barn b, where 1 b = 10 m = 100 fm. Smaller prefixed units such as mb and μb are also
