beta_to_momentum¶

georges_core.kinematics.beta_to_momentum(beta: float, particle: _ParticuleType = <class 'georges_core.particles.Proton'>) → _Q[source]¶

Converts relativistic beta to momentum.

>>> beta_to_momentum(0.3).to('MeV/c')
<Quantity(1.4829706197870007, 'meter tesla')>
>>> beta_to_momentum(0.9).to('MeV/c')
<Quantity(2.3218196835259093, 'meter tesla')>

Parameters

beta – relativistic beta
particle – the particle type (default: proton)

Returns

Momentum of the particle
