A cyclotron is a machine that can be used to accelerate charged particles to achieve large kinetic energies. The resulting beams of highly energetic particles then can be used for many medical applications, including Proton Therapy (a more precise form of "radiation" used in the treatment of some cancers). South pole of magnet ,High-frequency alternating voltage Electric field between the dees. Source of protons Dees - - Particle path North pole of magnet A description of the cyclotron can be found in section 19.3 of the text. If a proton (of mass 1.673x10 27kg) is accelerated to its maximum velocity inside a dee with radius 3.76cm (this is the radius you would use for the "r" term in the centripetal acceleration), and if the magnetic field has a magnitude of 4.49x102T, what is the resulting velocity of the proton in units of km/s (kilometer per second)?

(a) Viewers of Star Trek have heard of an antimatter drive on the Starship Enterprise. One possibility for such a futuristic energy swore is to store antimatter charged particles in a vacuum chamber, circulating in a magnetic field, and then exact them as needed Antimatter annihilates normal matter, producing pure energy. What strength magnetic field is needed to hold antiprotons, moving at 5.0 × l0 m/s in a circular path 2.00 m in radius? Antiprotons have the same mass as protons but the opposite (negative) charge. (b) Is this field strength obtainable with today’s technology or is it a futuristic possibility?
