Question
A positron ( e+) and a electron (e-) are ejected at the same speed from a subatomic particle that is decaying. they are both ejected at the exact same speed. however they are ejected in directions that are opposite to eachother. assume there is a 1.20 mT magnetic
field that is uniform acting perpendicular to the initial velocities, how long would it take the positron and electron to collide into eachother? You MUST Draw the trajectories of moving particles.

- The first cyclotron used a 1.3 T magnetic field and had an 11 cm radius. (a) Find the maximum kinetic energy of protons accelerated by this cyclotron. Is it accurate to use nonrelativistic expressions in your calculation? (b) When the cyclotron was accelerating protons, at what frequency was it operated?arrow_forwardWhat is the z-component of the net force acting on a particle (so you can ignore gravity) of charge 467.4 uC moving at (437.9, -520.7, -526.6) m/s in an electric field = (4,778.8, -4,132.8, -4,712.2) N/C and a magnetic field = (-0.8, -0.7, 0.2) T? Assume that nothing is in contact with the charge.arrow_forwardAll of the high-energy physics colliders built in recent decades have collided one beam of particles with a second beam traveling in the opposite direction. For example, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN sends particles of opposite charges around a ring, with one beam traveling clockwise and the second traveling counterclockwise. Technically it is much more difficult to get the two beams to collide with one another in this way as compared to just having one beam slamming into a stationary target, yet this still how colliders are built. Consider the following two situations. In the first picture, (the modern collider design), two equal mass m particles collide, each with total energy Ecollider, to produce some exotic new particle of mass M, at rest. Conservation of energy says that 2Ecollider = Mc^2. On the other hand, in the second picture (the fixed-target design), a particle of mass m with energy Efixed hits an identical mass particle at rest, producing the same exotic new…arrow_forward
- (a) A beam of highly energetic protons emerges from a cyclotron. Can you assume that there is a magnetic field associated with these particles? Justify your answer. (b) When a current travels through the coils of a coil spring, the coil contracts as if it were compressed. What is your explanation for the fact?arrow_forwardFor synchronous particles to remain on a constant radius in a synchrotron, show that the time derivative of the magnetic field is given by dB BATtum dt 2xqpR where ATturn is the kinetic energy gain per turn, R is the radius and p the bending radius, q the charge of a particle, ẞ=v/c. Assume the particles are accelerated on crest in a synchrotron of 10 GeV (kinetic energy) where the magnetic field reaches 1.5 Tesla in one second, following a linear variation. Calculate the bending radius and assuming R~1.5p, evaluate the accelerating voltage in kV.arrow_forwardTo measure the muon magnetic moment a 2.9-T uniform magnetic field is used. How much energy is stored in the field if the experimental chamber where the field is created has dimensions of 65 cm×35 cm×60 cm? The energy, ? How long will it take to “switch on” the field if the experiment uses a 1.5-kW power supply? Time ?arrow_forward
