2010 by P.J . Mohr, B.N. Taylor, and D.B. Newell in arXiv:1203.5425 and Rev. Mod. P hys. (to be published). T he last group of constant s
(beginning with t he Fermi coupling constant) comes from t he P art icle Data Group. T he gures in parentheses aft er the values give t he
1-st andard-deviat ion uncertainties in the last digit s; the corresponding fractional uncert aint ies in part s per 109 (ppb) are given in the last
column. T his set of constants (aside from t he last group) is recommended for int ernat ional use by CODATA (the Commit tee on Data for Science
and Technology). T he full 2010 CODATA set of constants may be found at http://physics.nist.gov/constants. See also P.J . Mohr and

T he met er is t he length of the path t raveled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/ 299 792 458 of a second.
At Q2 = 0. At Q 2 m 2W the value is 1/ 128.
Absolut e lab measurements of G have been made only on scales of about 1 cm to 1 m.
