10 1. Physical constants 1 1. PHYSICAL CONSTANTS Table 1.1. Reviewed 2005 by P.J. Mohr and B.N. Taylor (NIST). Based mainly on the CODATA Recommended Values of the Fundamental Physical Constants: 2002 by P.J. Mohr and B.N. Taylor, Rev. Mod. Phys. 77, 1 (2005). The last group of constants (beginning with the Fermi coupling constant) comes from the Particle Data Group. The figures in parentheses after the values give the 1-standard-deviation uncertainties in the last digits; the corresponding fractional uncertainties in parts per 10 9 (ppb) are given in the last column. This set of constants (aside from the last group) is recommended for international use by CODATA (the Committee on Data for Science and Technology). The full 2002 CODATA set of constants may be found at Quantity Symbol, equation Value Uncertainty (ppb) speed of light in vacuum c m s 1 exact Planck constant h (11) J s 170 Planck constant, reduced h/2π (18) J s 170 = (56) MeV s 85 electron charge magnitude e (14) C = (41) esu 85, 85 conversion constant c (17) MeV fm 85 conversion constant ( c) (67) GeV 2 mbarn 170 electron mass m e (44) MeV/c 2 = (16) kg 86, 170 proton mass m p (80) MeV/c 2 = (29) kg 86, 170 = (13) u = (85) m e 0.13, 0.46 deuteron mass m d (16) MeV/c 2 86 unified atomic mass unit (u) (mass 12 C atom)/12 = (1 g)/(n A mol) (80) MeV/c 2 = (28) kg 86, 170 permittivity of free space ɛ 0 =1/µ 0 c Fm 1 exact permeability of free space µ 0 4π 10 7 NA 2 = NA 2 exact fine-structure constant α = e 2 /4πɛ 0 c (24) 10 3 =1/ (46) 3.3, 3.3 classical electron radius r e = e 2 /4πɛ 0 m e c (28) m 10 (e Compton wavelength)/2π λ e = /m e c = r e α (26) m 6.7 Bohr radius (m nucleus = ) a =4πɛ 0 2 /m e e 2 = r e α (18) m 3.3 wavelength of 1 ev/c particle hc/(1 ev) (11) 10 6 m 85 Rydberg energy hcr = m e e 4 /2(4πɛ 0 ) 2 2 = m e c 2 α 2 / (12) ev 85 Thomson cross section σ T =8πre/ (13) barn 20 Bohr magneton µ B = e /2m e (39) MeV T nuclear magneton µ N = e /2m p (21) MeV T electron cyclotron freq./field ωcycl e /B = e/m e (15) rad s 1 T 1 86 proton cyclotron freq./field ω p cycl /B = e/m p (82) 10 7 rad s 1 T 1 86 gravitational constant G N (10) m 3 kg 1 s = (10) c (GeV/c 2 ) standard gravitational accel. g n m s 2 exact Avogadro constant N A (10) mol Boltzmann constant k (24) JK = (15) 10 5 ev K molar volume, ideal gas at STP N A k( K)/( Pa) (39) 10 3 m 3 mol Wien displacement law constant b = λ max T (51) 10 3 m K 1700 Stefan-Boltzmann constant σ = π 2 k 4 /60 3 c (40) 10 8 Wm 2 K Fermi coupling constant G F /( c) (1) 10 5 GeV weak-mixing angle sin 2 θ(m Z )(MS) (15) W ± boson mass m W (29) GeV/c Z 0 boson mass m Z (21) GeV/c strong coupling constant α s (m Z ) (20) in m 1 Å 0.1 nm 1barn m 2 π = e = γ = G 10 4 T 1dyne 10 5 N 1erg 10 7 J 1eV= (14) J 1eV/c 2 = (15) kg kt at 300 K = [ (68)] 1 ev 0 C K esu = 1 C 1 atmosphere 760 Torr Pa The meter is the length of the path traveled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/ of a second.

See the discussion in Sec. 10, Electroweak model and constraints on new physics. The corresponding sin 2 θ for the effective angle is (14).

The estimates of u and d masses are not without controversy and remain under active investigation. Within the literature there are even suggestions that the u quark could be essentially massless. The s-quark mass is estimated from SU(3) splittings in hadron masses. [b] Based on published top mass measurements using data from Tevatron Run-I and Run-II. Including also the most recent unpublished results from Run-II, the Tevatron Electroweak Working Group reports a top mass of ± 1.3 ± 1.9 GeV.Seethenote TheTopQuark inthequark Particle Listings of this Review.
