A helium nucleus (called an alpha particle) contains 2 neutrons and 2 protons with no electrons. If any electrons are added, there is a negligible amount of mass added but obviously one negative charge per electron is added. Three particles are injected into a constant B-field of 2T at a velocity of 3×106ms. The first particle is only the alpha particle (He++), the second particle is a nucleus with 1 electron (He+), and the third particle is a nucleus with...
