One barn is equal to 1.0 × 10 −28 m 2. The name derives from the folk expressions "As big as a barn," and "Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn", used by particle accelerator physicists to refer to the probability of achieving a collision between particles. For nuclear purposes, 1.0 × 10 −28 m 2 is actually rather large. [25]
