rutherford

Unit Definitions:

rutherford

Rd

Contextual Explanation

A non-SI legacy unit of radioactive decay rate defined as exactly 1,000,000 disintegrations per second (1 MBq). Introduced in 1946 to replace the Curie with a decimal-based system.

Practical Applications

Historical nuclear physics literature (1940s–1950s) and early radiometric dating calculations prior to the universal adoption of the Becquerel system.

millibecquerel

mBq

Contextual Explanation

Equal to 10-3 Becquerels (1 disintegration every 1,000 seconds). Quantifies extremely low, trace levels of radioactive decay.

Practical Applications

Ultra-low background physics experiments (dark matter, solar neutrinos), high-purity material screening (e.g., copper or lead shielding), and oceanic trace isotope tracking.

Example Calculation

To convert 1 rutherford [Rd] to millibecquerel [mBq]:
• Conversion factor: 1 rutherford [Rd] = 1000000000 millibecquerel [mBq]
• Step: 1 × 1000000000 = 1000000000 millibecquerel [mBq]
