Plasma

Linear accelerator transit time.

The time for an ion to traverse a voltage gradient between two electrodes.

acceleration, electric field, electron volts

v = velocity in m/sec

C = charge in Coulombs

V = potential in volts between the electrodes

momentum = eV = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

v = \sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}

Elementary charge, e = 1.602176 x 10^-19 C

Electron mass, me = 9.10938 x 10^-31 kg

Proton mass, mp = 1.6726 x 10^-27 kg
