A cyclotron could not be used to accelerate which of the following particles?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ENeutrons, being neutral, cannot be accelerated by the electromagnetic fields in a cyclotron. The "¹¹B⁵⁺" choice, despite being garbled, suggests a charged particle (like a positron or any ion), which in principle could be accelerated by a cyclotron. However, given the context that it's meant to be an incorrect choice alongside the neutron, it's likely intended to represent a particle that cannot be accelerated by a cyclotron, possibly due to its formatting error. The correct interpretation is that both neutrons and this garbled choice are not suitable for acceleration by a cyclotron, with the understanding that the garbled choice is likely an error or represents a non-accelerable particle.
