Motion of charged particle in magnetic field Lorentz force:
dp q v B dt
The speed of a charged particle, and therefore its g, does not change by a static magnetic field

Motion of charged particle in magnetic field If magnetic field direction perpendicular to the velocity: g mv 2

Force on charged particle due to electric and magnetic fields:
dp = q(E + v ´ B) dt
perpendicular to motion: deflection
In direction of motion -> acceleration or deceleration
-> For acceleration an electric field needs to be produced: • static: need a high voltage: e.g. Cockroft Walton generator, van de Graaff accelerator • with a changing magnetic field: e.g. betatron • with a high-frequent voltage which creates an accelerating field across one or more regions at times that particles pass these regions: e.g. cyclotron • with high-frequency electro-magnetic waves in cavities 14

Ernest O.Lawrence at the controls of the 37" cyclotron in 1938, University of California at Berkeley. 1939 Nobel prize for "the invention and development of the cyclotron, and for the results thereby attained, especially with regard to artificial radioelements." (the 37" cyclotron could accelerate deuterons to 8 MeV)
Speed increase smaller if particles become relativistic: special field configuration or synchro-cyclotron (uses particle bunches, frequency reduced at end of acceleration cycle) http://www.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Archive/early-years.html http://www.aip.org/history/lawrence/

Luis Walter Alvarez Nobel prize 1968, but not for his work on accelerators: "for his decisive contributions to elementary particle physics, in particular the discovery of a large number of resonance states, made possible through his development of the technique of using hydrogen bubble chamber and data analysis"

Generation of r.f. e.m waves with a klystron
* The electron gun 1 produces a flow of electrons. * The bunching cavities 2 regulate the speed of the electrons so that they arrive in bunches at the output cavity. * The bunches of electrons excite microwaves in the output cavity 3 of the klystron. * The microwaves flow into the waveguide 4, which transports them to the accelerator. * The electrons are absorbed in the beam stop 5.

Synchrotron : circular accelerator with r.f. cavities for accelerating the particles and with separate magnets for keeping the particles on track. All large circular accelerators are of this type. Injection During acceleration the magnetic field needs to be "ramped up".

Collider: two beams are collided to obtain a high Centre of Mass (CM) energy. Colliders are usually synchrotrons (exception: SLAC). In a synchrotron particles and anti-particles can be accelerated and stored in the same machine (e.g. LEP (e+e-), SppS and Tevatron (proton - anti-proton). This is not possible for e.g. a proton-proton collider or an electron-proton collider. Important parameter for colliders : Luminosity L N = L s cross-section number of events /s
Unit L: barn-1 s-1 or cm-2 s-1 31

Charged particles inside accelerators and in external beamlines need to be steered by magnetic fields. A requirement is that small deviations from the design orbit should not grow without limit. Proper choice of the steering and focusing fields makes this possible.
Consider first a charged particle moving in a uniform field and in a plane perpendicular to the field: design orbit
displaced orbit In the plane a deviation from the design orbit does not grow beyond a certain limit: it exhibits oscillatory behavior. However, a deviation in the direction perpendicular to the plane grows in proportion to the number of revolutions made and leads to loss of the particle after some time. 33
To prevent instabilities a restoring force in the vertical direction is required. Possible solution : "weak focusing" with a "combined function magnet" pole shoe
design orbit plane (seen from the side)
pole shoe
field component causes downward force
field component causes upward force
Components of magnetic field parallel to the design orbit plane force particles not moving in the plane back to it, resulting in oscillatory motion1) perpendicular to plane. The field component perpendicular to the plane now depends on the position in the design orbit plane: the period of the oscillatory motion1) in this plane around the design orbit becomes larger than a single revolution. 1)

With van de Graaff accelerator: simple: E = q V, so E = V eV
From Einstein’s Special Theory on Relativity: E2 = mo2 c4 + p2c2 With: = v / c, and the Lorentz factor γ: relativistic mass mr = γ m0 γ = 1 / sqrt(1- 2), and = sqrt(γ2 -1) / γ So: total energy E = m0 c2 sqrt(1+ 2 γ2) [= rest mass eq. + kinetic energy] = γ m0 c 2 = mr c 2 42
Remember: TOTAL energy E2 = mo2 c4 + p2c2
Note ‘restmass’ term and ‘kinetic’ term (squared!) relativistic mass mr = γ m0 p = m v = γ m0 v (for high energy particles: p = γ m0 c)
γ = 1 / sqrt(1- 2)
For high-energy particles (E >> m0c2): E2 = mo2 c4 + p2c2 = E2 = p2c2 E = pc p = E/c
43
Examples: electron: rust mass m0 = 511 keV
With total energy 1 GeV: kinetic energy = 1 GeV Momentum p: 1GeV/c
Other example: electron with [kinetic] energy of 1 MeV (~1/2 m0 c2) Total energy ET = 1 MeV + 511 keV = 1511 keV Momentum p follows from ET2 = mo2 c4 + p2c2
Gamma factor γ = ET / moc2 Speed follows from γ = 1 / sqrt(1- 2), and = sqrt(γ2 -1) / γ 44
