Key Equations

$$k_B T = 1 \text{ eV} \equiv 1.602 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J} \quad \Leftrightarrow \quad T = 11,604.5 \text{ K}$$
$$\beta_N = \frac{\beta[\%]}{I_p[\text{MA}]/(a[\text{m}] B_0[\text{T}])} \leq g$$
$$a = \left(\frac{3}{4\pi \times 10^{36}}\right)^{1/3} \approx 4.3 \times 10^{-13} \text{ m}$$
$$\omega_{ce} = 1.76 \times 10^{9} \text{ rad/s}$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
