A barn (symbol: b) is a unit of area equal to 10−28 m2 (100 fm2). Originally used in nuclear physics for expressing the cross sectional area of nuclei and nuclear reactions, today it is also used in all fields of high-energy physics to express the cross sections of any scattering process, and is best understood as a measure of the probability of interaction between small particles.
Square nanometre or Square nanometer is a SI prefixes applied unit of area, symbol nm2, is a multiple of the of SI prefixes (nano) used with the metre.
