Particle detection: In a particle physics collider experiment, the muon detector records two trajectories incident under an angle of 0 = 39º, curving in opposite directions with diameters of 8.25 m and 11.7 m, respectively. The muon chamber has a magnetic field of 2 T. (i) Which other detector components will the muons have traversed before being recorded? (ii) What were the energies of the two muons? (iii) Deduce the mass of the decayed particle for the given event.
