Go BackBelow are my calculations done for determining the radius of curvature of an electron/positron in the magnetic field for the pair spectrometer.The Lorentz force is the centripetal force acting upon the electron/positron in the magnetic field which gives the following equation. This equation can be rearranged to solve for r (and given that mv = momentum) to give the following equation
