If you fire energetic ionising particles, like electrons or protons, at a stationary target, the important interactions are ionisation, nuclear reactions and scattering.
But if the incoming particles are traveling at high speed, will they not generate a high magnetic field? Why is such a...
That will be fun!
What I am really interested is knowing whether you could detect a stream of energetic muons purely by the magnetic field they produce and, if so, what kind of flux density to expect. I'm guessing picoTesla (wild guess) or less?
Anyone guess what sort of magnetic field a...
I know this is basic stuff but my maths is truly terrible. I hope someone can help.
Assuming you have a muon moving at near light speed, it will generate a magnetic field due to its movement. I'm assuming there is no external magnetuc field present. How can I calculate the field produced please?
