What is the Value of Fermi's Constant (GF) in SI Units?

[randa177]

what is the value of fermi's constant ( GF ) in SI units?
I tried to work it out, but it seems that I'm wrong, I got a value of: 6.5 X 10(41) J(-2)

Does it make sense?

Google calculator gives:

<br /> G_F = 4.54376275 \times 10^{14} J^{-2}<br />

where

<br /> \frac{G_F}{(\hbar c)^3} = 1.16637 \times 10^{-5} GeV^{-2}<br />

I used the following code in Google:

1.16637*10^-5 (GeV)^-2 in (Joules)^-2

so, you mean Gf / (h.bar X c) ^ 3 = 4.5 X 10 (14),,, [ not the Gf itself] right?

how to get it in cgs units,,, I don't know how to use google to convert the units!

If you know it in Joules, just convert Joules to ergs.
You can do it in your head if google fails you.

what is then Gf2=5.29 * 10-38 cm2/GeV2?
