18. Estimate the total path length traveled by a deuteron (a heavy hydrogen nucleus consisting of a proton and a neutron) in a cyclotron of radius 53 cm and operating frequency 12 Mhz during the entire acceleration process. The accelerating potential between the dees is 80 kV.Solution
the potential between the dees, V = 80*103 V
Charge of the deuteron, e =1.6*10-19 C
The magnetic field is
B = ( 2mf) / e
Here m = 3.344x10-27 kg and f = 12*106Hz
then,
B = (2(3.344x10-27 kg)(12*106Hz)) /(1.6*10-19C) = 1.575 T
Hence the total path length is,
x = (2/B)sqrt[2mV/e] = 0.899 m = 0.9 m
