Medical Uses of Cyclotrons. The largest cyclotron in the United States is the Tevatron at Fermilab, near Chicago, Illinois. It is called a Tevatron because it can accelerate particles to energies in the TeV range: 1 tera-eV = 1012 eV, Its circumference is 6.4 km, and it currently can produce a maximum energy of 2.0 TeV. In a certain medical experiment, protons will be accelerated to energies of 1.25 MeV and aimed at a tumor to destroy its cells. (a) How fast are these protons moving when they hit the tumor? (b) How strong must the magnetic field be to bend the protons in the circle indicated?
