depend on the composition of emulsions,zis the charge of the ion andMits
mass in terms of proton mass. The data onRandEfor protons have been
used to determinenandR. We findn= 0 .6 andK= 0 .2276. Using these
values ofnandK, the energy for various values ofRhave been determined
for deuterons and^3 He as tabulated below and the corresponding graphs are
drawn, Fig. 9.8.

9.3.10 Motion of Charged Particles in Magnetic Field .......

9.67 For a circular orbit of a charged particle of charge q and momentum p moving
in a magnetic field ofBTesla perpendicular to the orbit, the radiusrin metres
is related by the formula
P=qBr→cp=qBrcJ
cp=(1. 6 × 10 −^19 )(3× 108 )BrJ
= 4. 8 × 10 −^11 BrJ
=(4. 8 × 10 −^11 / 1. 6 × 10 −^10 )BrGeV
P= 0. 3 BrGeV/c


9.68 Let the proton be at a distancedfromS, the earth’s centre. Under the influence
of magnetic field it will describe an arc of a circle of radiusr.
From Fig. 9.9, it is clear that
(R+r)^2 =d^2 +r^2
Or 2Rr=d^2 −R^2 ≈d^2 (BecauseR<<d)
Thereforer=d^2 / 2 R=(1, 000 R)^2 / 2 R
= 5 × 105 R
The momentum,p= 0. 3 Br
P=(E^2 −m^2 )^1 /^2 =(10. 942 − 0. 942 )^1 /^2
= 10 .9GeV/c
B=p/ 0. 3 r= 10. 9 / 0. 3 × 5 × 105 × 6. 4 × 106
