Calculating particle momentum in high energy physics experiments involves using the equation p = Bqr, where p represents momentum, B is the magnetic field strength, q is the charge of the particle, and r is the radius of the circular path the particle takes in the magnetic field. By knowing the charge of each particle and measuring the magnetic field, researchers can determine the radius of the particle's path in a detector. This method allows for precise calculations of momentum for high energy particles.
