Deflection of a 1.5-Mev electron beam by curved tubes
Abstract
An experimental observation of the effect of electron beam deflection by curved glass and brass tubes is reported. In the experiment, capillary glass tubes 1.2 and 2.5 mm in diameter, 180, 330, and 800 mm long and 2.5-mm-diameter brass tubes 265 mm long were used to deflect electron beams to angles of 0.1, 0.25, 0.38, and 0.6 deg. Prospects for using this effect for controlling electron fluxes without any external fields are discussed.
