The initial momentum magnitude satisfies $p^2/(m^2{c}^2)={\gamma }_i^2-1=288$. Equality of longitudinal and transverse magnitudes therefore givesAn electric field along $z$ changes $p_z$, while the magnetic Lorentz force only rotates the transverse momentum. Its magnitude $p_{\perp }$ remains fixed. At the longitudinal turning point $p_z=0$, henceFor an electron initially moving toward positive $z$, the decelerating field points toward positive $z$ because its charge is $-e$. The electric work over $\Delta z=1\mathrm{m}$ givesThe radius is determined by transverse momentum rather than total energy:so the requested radius plot is horizontal. The cyclotron angular frequency changes as $e|B|/(\gamma m)$ and the helix pitch shrinks to zero. These statements neglect radiation, as stipulated.
