A proton synchrotron accelerates protons to a kinetic energy of 500 GeV. At this energy, calculate (a) the Lorentz factor, (b) the speed parameter, and (c) the magnetic field for which the proton orbit has a radius of curvature of 750 m.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The Lorentz factor for proton is 534 .

(b) The speed parameter for proton is 0.99999 .

(c) The magnetic field for the electron is 0.178T.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The energy of proton is K=500GeV

The radius of curvature of orbit is 750m

The magnetic field for the electron is found by equating the necessary centripetal force by magnetic force on the electron.

02

Determination of Lorentz factor

(a)

The Lorentz factor is given as:

K=γ-1mc2

Here, qis the charge of proton and its value is 1.6×10-19C , m is the mass of proton and its value is 1.67×10-19C , c is the speed of light and its value is 3×108ms

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

500GeV1.6×109J1GeV=γ-11.67×10-27kg3×108ms2γ=534

Therefore, the Lorentz factor for proton is 534..

03

Determination of speed parameter

(b)

The speed parameter for proton is given as:

β=1-1γ2

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

β=1-15342

β=0.999999

Therefore, the speed parameter for proton is 0.999999.

04

Determination of magnetic field for proton

(c)

The magnetic field for proton is given as:

B=mcγ2-1qr

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

B=1.67×10-27kg3×108ms5342-11.6×10-19C750mB=2.23T

Therefore, the magnetic field for proton is 2.23T

As in Fig. 37-9, reference frame S'passes reference Sframe with a certain velocity. Events 1 and 2 are to have a certain temporal separation ∆t'according to the S'observer. However, their spatial separation ∆x'according to that observer has not been set yet. Figure 37-24 gives their temporal separation ∆x'according to the observer as a function of for a range of values. The vertical axis scale is set by ∆ta=6μ²õ. What is ∆t'?
