 Barn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On older style barns, the upper area was used to store hay and sometimes grain.
The hay was hoisted into the barn by a system containing pulleys and a trolley that ran along a track attached to the top ridge of the barn.
The physics unit "barn", which is a unit of exceedingly small area, was named for the "barn", given the surprisingly large size of this property for a particular element.

The appropriate SI unit for this volume per area measure is the micrometer or micron (µm); 1 bcm is equal to 1.5500 µm.
This unit honors the French mathematician and physicist Jean-Baptiste Biot (1774-1862), one of the founders of the theory of electromagnetism.

 Understanding luminosity through 'barn', a unit that helps physicists count particle events
At dinner one night in December 1942, physicists M. Holloway and C. Parker were lamenting the lack of a catchy unit name for discussing the size of an atomic nucleus of uranium.
Since Holloway and Parker were on the campus of Purdue University in Indiana, the barn, a dominant feature of Midwestern U.S. farmlands, naturally came to mind.

 Unit 56
Observers at rest with respect to the barn would determine that the time at which the front end of the rod hits the back of the barn is later than the time at which the back end of the rod enters the barn.
Observers at rest with respect to the rod see a rapidly approaching Lorentz contracted barn and conclude the front end of the rod is hit by the back of the barn before the front of the barn passes the back of the rod.
For this example the velocity of the runner and rod, the rest length of the rod, and the rest length of the barn must be such that a light signal could not propagate from the front to the back of the rod in the time interval between the two events (front hitting, rear entering).
