A electron is accelerated to a kinetic energy of 100 MeV at the end of a linac and then drifts 1.45 m to a target in the laboratory

a) What is the distance from the end of the linac to the target in the rest frame of the electron?

b) As measured in the laboratory, what is the velocity of the electron and how much time does it take for the electron to hit the target after it exits the linac?

c) How much time passes in the rest frame of the electron from exiting to the linac to hitting the target?

At the 3-km-long Stanford Linear Accelerator, electrons are accelerated to final kinetic energies of 47 GeV. a. Electrons increase their kinetic energies approximately uniformly every meter as observed in the laboratory frame. What is the energy gain in MeV/m? b. Suppose the classical KE expression was correct – how far along the accelerator tube would the electrons need to travel before they reached light speed? c. OK, but that isn’t really what happens – even at 47 GeV of kinetic...
