The curve \(C\) has polar equation
$$r = \theta ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } } \mathrm { e } ^ { \theta ^ { 2 } / \pi }$$
where \(0 \leqslant \theta \leqslant \pi\). The area of the finite region bounded by \(C\) and the line \(\theta = \beta\) is \(\pi\) (see diagram). Show that
$$\beta = ( \pi \ln 3 ) ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } }$$
