5. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
barn
n.
[uncommon; prob. from the nuclear military] An unexpectedly large quantity
of something: a unit of measurement. ?Why is /var/adm taking up so much
space?? ?The logs have grown to several barns.? The source of this is
clear: when physicists were first studying nuclear interactions, the
probability was thought to be proportional to the cross-sectional area of
the nucleus (this probability is still called the cross-section). Upon
experimenting, they discovered the interactions were far more probable than
expected; the nuclei were ?as big as a barn?. The units for cross-sections
were christened Barns, (10^-24 cm^2) and the book containing cross-sections
has a picture of a barn on the cover.
