Detailed Description

Constants in units of fm.

In nuclear physics is frequently convenient to work in units of $\mathrm{fm}$ with $\hbar=c=k_B=1$. Several useful constants are given here.

For example, mev gives 1 $\mathrm{MeV}$ in units of $\mathrm{fm}^{-1}$ (the solution to the equation $ 1 \mathrm{MeV} = x~\mathrm{fm}^{-1}$). If you have a number in $\mathrm{MeV}$, you can multiply by mev to get a number in units of $\mathrm{fm}^{-1}$. Alternatively, mev is a number with units $\mathrm{MeV}^{-1}\cdot\mathrm{fm}^{-1}$. These can be combined, so that erg divided by sec is 1 $\mathrm{erg/sec}$ in units of $\mathrm{fm}^{-2}$.
