Abstract
We report the first direct observation of the electromagnetic deflection of high-energy electron and positron beams as they pass each other with small impact parameters. Measurements of the deflection amplitude are found in agreement with theoretical expectations. This phenomenon, which is sensitive both to the relative position of the two beams and to their transverse sizes, has been used successfully to optimize and maintain collisions at the interaction point of the SLAC Linear Collider.Keywords
