I must have this before,
If the velocity of the particle is c then,
v=c.sin(θ)
And the distortion to the particle and/or its path, due to the force acting in the direction opposite to v is zero when θ=0 because v=0 according to the above. The force that distorts the particle is along in the plane of the particle's circular motion. As is the case when θ=90o.
The mid point between these two equivalent extremes is at θ=45o.
Is this the same squeeze as before? Maybe...
