1. Determine the rightmost vertex of the region $R$ to establish its position relative to the origin of the locus $l$.
The region is bounded by and .
The vertex of with the maximum real part is at the intersection of the arc and the ray :
Let this point be .
Thus, for all points , and .
The locus is a half-line emanating from with an angle to the positive real direction.
Notice that is vertically below , meaning the vector goes straight up, corresponding to the angle .
2. Analyze the sweep of the half-line $l$ to find the geometric range of $k$ resulting in no intersection.
For , the half-line passes directly through , so it intersects .
As increases such that , the half-line points upwards and leftwards. Since it starts from below , it must cross the boundary segment of connecting the origin to , thus intersecting .
For , the half-line points to the right (). Since all points in have , there is no intersection.
For , the half-line points into the lower half-plane (). Since is strictly in the upper half-plane (), there is no intersection.
Therefore, and have no common point when .
