Electron radius (classical) attometer

Electron Radius (Classical)

The classical electron radius is a quantity with the dimension of length, approximately 2.82 x 10⁻¹⁵ meters.

History/Origin

The classical electron radius is a concept from classical physics that attempts to model the electron as a spherical shell of charge. It is not considered the actual size of an electron.

Current Use

The classical electron radius appears in the Thomson scattering cross-section and is a useful length scale in atomic and high-energy physics.


Attometer

An attometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-18 meters.

History/Origin

The prefix "atto-" for 10^-18 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1964.

Current Use

The attometer is used in high-energy physics to describe the scales relevant to quarks and leptons.
