A cyclotron is used to produce a beam of high-energy deuterons that then collide with a target to produce radioactive isotopes for a medical procedure. Deuterons are nuclei of deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen, consisting of one neutron and one proton, with total mass 3.34×10⁻²⁷kg. The deuterons exit the cyclotron with a kinetic energy of 3.60 MeV. If the beam current is 380 μA how many deuterons strike the target each second?
