1. Calculate the frequency of the electric field that must be applied between the dees of a
cyclotron in which (i) proton (ii) deuteron (iii) alpha- particles accelerated. The
applied magnetic flux is 3.5 Wb/m2
ASSIGNMENT- II
5. In a particle betatron the maximum magnetic field at the orbit is 0.4 Tesla and its
frequency is 60 cycles/sec. If a radius of the stable orbit is 1.65 m, estimate the final
energy which can be obtained? How many turns will the electrons make in gaining
this energy. Assume Sinusoidal variation of magnetic field with time.
7. A linear accelaerator (linac), accelerating protons, has aleneth 50cm for the first drift
tube and the energy attained by protons is 100 MeV. The frequency of the radio
frequency field applied and the peak accelerating potential are 500 MHz and 1500 kV
respectively. The time taken by the proton to travel the distance between two
consecutive taps is equal to the period of the rf field. Find (i) length of the last tube,
(ii) energy of protons at injection in to first tube, and (iii) total number of acceleration
received to attain the maximum energy.
8. A 250 MeV betatron has a stable orbit of redius 0.8 m. The electrons acquire energy at
the rate of 500 eV per revolution. The magnet of the betatron is energised at 180 Hz
and produces pulses of 1s duration, each containing 1010 electrons. Calculate (i) the
distance covered by electrons to attain the maximum energy and (ii) the peak beam
current.
