Let $S_r=\{se^{i\theta}:0<s\leq r\}$. Since $S_r=rS_1$, the <scaling and translation of half-plane capacity> gives
$$
\operatorname{hcap}(S_r)=r^2\operatorname{hcap}(S_1)=ar^2.
$$
The <half-plane-capacity parameterization> requires $ar(t)^2=2t$, so
$$
r(t)=\sqrt{\frac{2t}{a}},
\qquad
\gamma(t)=\sqrt{\frac{2t}{a}}e^{i\theta}.
$$
